html - Get an element's nth-child number in pure JavaScript

I am making a function for my site where I set a data attribute which contains the nth-child number of that element.

My HTML markup:

<html>
<body>
    <section class="hardware">some text, nth-child is one</section>
    <section class="hardware">some text, nth-child is two</section>
    <section class="hardware">some text, nth-child is three</section>
    <section class="hardware">some text, nth-child is four</section>
    <section class="hardware">some text, nth-child is five</section>
</body>
</html>

My JavaScript so far:

var selector = document.getElementsByClassName('hardware');
for(var i = 0; i <= selector.length; i++) {
    var index = selector[i] //get the nth-child number here
    selector[i].dataset.number = index;
}

How can I get the nth-child number of an element with pure JavaScript (not jQuery), is this even possible in JavaScript?

Check out this previous answer HERE.

It uses

var i = 0;
while( (child = child.previousSibling) != null ) 
  i++;
//at the end i will contain the index.
