PagesLoader::has() method

Is there any page that matches the given $selector in the system? (with no exclusions)

  • This can be used as an “exists” or “getID” type of method.
  • Returns ID of first matching page if any exist, or 0 if none exist (returns array if $verbose is true).
  • Like with the get() method, no pages are excluded, so an include=all is not necessary in selector.
  • If you need to quickly check if something exists, this method is preferable to using a count() or get().

When $verbose option is used, an array is returned instead. Verbose return array includes all columns from the matching row in the pages table.

Available since version 3.0.153.

Usage

// basic usage
$array = $pagesLoader->has($selector);

// usage with all arguments

“We were really happy to build our new portfolio website on ProcessWire! We wanted something that gave us plenty of control on the back-end, without any bloat on the front end - just a nice, easy to access API for all our content that left us free to design and build however we liked.” —Castus, web design agency in Sheffield, UK
