### Accessing Results
### Referencing Loop Data

After a loop completes, you can access aggregated results:
There's an important distinction between referencing loop data from **inside** vs **outside** the loop:

- **`<loop.results>`**: Array of results from all loop iterations
<Tabs items={['Inside the Loop', 'Outside the Loop']}>
<Tab>
**Inside the loop**, use `<loop.>` references to access the current iteration context:

- **`<loop.index>`**: Current iteration number (0-based)
- **`<loop.currentItem>`**: Current item being processed (forEach only)
- **`<loop.items>`**: Full collection being iterated (forEach only)

```
// Inside a Function block within the loop
const idx = <loop.index>; // 0, 1, 2, ...
const item = <loop.currentItem>; // Current item
```

These references are only available for blocks **inside** the loop container. They give you access to the current iteration's context.

**Outside the loop** (after it completes), reference the loop block by its name to access aggregated results:

- **`<LoopBlockName.results>`**: Array of results from all iterations

```
// If your loop block is named "Process Items"
const allResults = <processitems.results>;
// Returns: [result1, result2, result3, ...]

After the loop completes, use the loop's block name (not `loop.`) to access the collected results. The block name is normalized (lowercase, no spaces).
