8. Row Functions Reference | Field Forge - Custom Fields, Built for Speed

Helper functions that provide context about the current row during iteration.

`get_row()`

Returns the full current row as an associative array.

Returns: array — all sub-field values for the current row.

if ( have_rows( 'slides' ) ) :
    while ( have_rows( 'slides' ) ) : the_row();
        $row = get_row();
        // $row = ['title' => 'Slide 1', 'image' => 'url', ...]
    endwhile;
endif;

`get_row_index()`

Returns the 1-based index of the current row.

Returns: int — 1-indexed row number (1, 2, 3, …).

if ( have_rows( 'features' ) ) :
    while ( have_rows( 'features' ) ) : the_row();
        $index = get_row_index();
        $delay = ( $index - 1 ) * 100;
        echo '<div class="feature feature-' . $index . '" style="animation-delay: ' . $delay . 'ms;">';
        echo '<span class="number">' . str_pad( $index, 2, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT ) . '</span>';
        the_sub_field( 'title' );
        echo '</div>';
    endwhile;
endif;

`get_row_layout()`

Returns the layout name for the current row in a Flexible Content field.

Returns: string — layout slug (e.g., 'hero', 'text_block', 'gallery').

if ( have_rows( 'page_sections' ) ) :
    while ( have_rows( 'page_sections' ) ) : the_row();
        $layout = get_row_layout(); // e.g., 'hero', 'text_block', 'gallery'
        get_template_part( 'sections/section', $layout );
    endwhile;
endif;
