<a:For>

AWFor is the fundamental unrolling contruct for repeated content. It's body is re-evaluated for each item in the supplied list.

Typical use:

<a:For item="$currentItem" list="$myItems">
    <tr>
        <td>$currentItem.name</td>
        <td>$currentItem.description</td>
    </tr>
</a:For>

Bindings

list *	This list (java.util.List, native Array, etc) containing the items being unrolled.	AWOrderedList (get)
item	Binding pushed into for each iteration	Object (set)
count	Maximum number of items to iterate over	int (get)
index	Binding pushed with the index of the current item	int (set)
start	The index of the initial item to be unrolled. (Can be used in concert with count to process a sub-section of the list)	int (get)
scopeSubcomponentsByItem	Rarely used (use with caution). Normally any stateful subcomponents in a repetition are associated by position (index). If, instead, they should be associated by the object identity of the items in the loop, scopeSubcomponentsByItem can be set to true. (This can be useful in contexts where, for instance, items in a table can shift position and any stateful components in the table should "move" with their items).	boolean (get)
