PagesLoader::getPath() method

Given an ID return a path to a page, without loading the actual page

Please note

  1. Always returns path in default language, unless a language argument/option is specified.
  2. Path may be different from 'url' as it doesn't include $config->urls->root at the beginning.
  3. In most cases, it's preferable to use $page->path() rather than this method. This method is here just for cases where a path is needed without loading the page.
  4. It's possible for there to be Page::path() hooks, and this method completely bypasses them, which is another reason not to use it unless you know such hooks aren't applicable to you.

Usage

// basic usage
$string = $pagesLoader->getPath($id);

// usage with all arguments
$string = $pagesLoader->getPath($id, $options = []);
