Magento 2 : How to check if we are on a category page or product page?

Question

Is there a way I can check that If a user on a category page,or an individual product page in Magento 2?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

You can try below code it might help you.

Inject an instance of \Magento\Framework\App\Request\Http in your class constructor.

If you are in a controller you don't need to do it. You can already access it like this $request = $this->getRequest()

public function __construct(
    ...
    \Magento\Framework\App\Request\Http $request
) {
    ...
    $this->_request = $request;
}

Then you can check if is category or product like this:

if ($this->_request->getFullActionName() == 'catalog_product_view') {
    //you are on the product page
}
if ($this->_request->getFullActionName() == 'catalog_category_view') {
    //you are on the category page
}

Answer 2

I guess, we can directly use

$this->getRequest()->getFullActionName()

in .phtml file to get current page action.

You can use instance of \Magento\Framework\App\Request\Http in your class constructor. If you are in a controller you don't need to do it.

You can already access it like this $request = $this->getRequest()

public function __construct(
    ...
    \Magento\Framework\App\Request\Http $request
) {
    ...
    $this->_request = $request;
}

Then you can check if is homepage or categorypage or productpage like this:

if ($this->_request->getFullActionName() == 'cms_index_index') {
    //you are on the homepage
}
if ($this->_request->getFullActionName() == 'catalog_product_view') {
    //you are on the product page
}
if ($this->_request->getFullActionName() == 'catalog_category_view') {
    //you are on the category page
}

Otherwise directly use in phtml file using object manager

$objectManager = \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance();
$request = $objectManager->get('\Magento\Framework\App\Request\Http');

If you are using a template file i.e. .phtml then directly you can call on the page using below code:

$objectManager = \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance();

$request = $objectManager->get('\Magento\Framework\App\Request\Http');

if ($request->getFullActionName() == 'cms_index_index') {
//you are on the homepage
}

if ($request->getFullActionName() == 'catalog_product_view') {
//you are on the product page
}

if ($request->getFullActionName() == 'catalog_category_view') {
//you are on the category page
}

and if you to get a current category and its data you can do it via

$category = $objectManager->get('Magento\Framework\Registry')->registry('current_category');

$category->getData('schbang_category_name');

where schbang_category_name is my custom category attribute

I hope this might help someone.

you can add conditional, such as

if($this->getProductPage()) {
  //this is a product page, do some stuff
}
elseif($this->getCategoryPage()) {
  //this is a category page, do some stuff
}
