Return this page’s children, optionally filtered by a selector
By default, hidden, unpublished and no-access pages are excluded unless include=x (where "x" is desired status) is specified. If a selector isn't needed, children can also be accessed directly by property with $page->children.
Examples
// Render navigation for all child pages below this one
foreach($page->children() as $child) {
echo "<li><a href='$child->url'>$child->title</a></li>";
}// Retrieve just the 3 newest children
$newest = $page->children("limit=3, sort=-created");Usage
// basic usage
$items = $page->children();
// usage with all arguments
$items = $page->children(string $selector = '', array $options = []);Arguments
| Name | Type(s) | Description |
