$page

The $page object is the heart and soul of Kirby. It is used to construct pages and all their dependencies like children, files, content, etc.

Full class name: Kirby\Cms\Page

Alias: Page

kirby/src/Cms/Page.php#L26

You can extend this set of methods with custom page methods or in a page model.

How to fetch the `$page` object

The $page class is available in Kirby's templates/snippets etc. through the $page variable that - unless otherwise defined – always refers to the current page. However, you can also define a $page object by calling a specific page using the page() helper:

$page = page('somepage');

Or getting it from a collection of pages

$page = $pages->first();

When getting a specific page via the page() helper or when trying to create a page object from field values stored in content, always verify that you have a page object before you call any of the Page methods.

Content fields

The $page class offers a magic caller for your content fields. Instead of getting them via e.g.

$page->content()->get('your_field')

you can use the shorthand

$page->your_field()

You can not use the shorthand for fields with names that conflict with the default methods of the $page class (see above) or used by custom page methods.

Examples

With the $page object defined, you can start using the methods of the class:

Get a field of the page

<?= $page->title() ?>

Get the children of the page

<?php $children = $page->children() ?>

Get all images of the page

<?php $images = $page->images() ?>

Check if the page is active

<?php e($page->isActive(), 'active') ?>

Check if the page has draft children

if ($page->hasDrafts()) {
  echo "This page still has some children that haven't been published yet";
}
