In my website, the header section is a partial view which basically contains the header menus. The menus initially were same for all the pages across my site but I thought to hide some menu in case the current page is not the homepage.
To do that, I needed to get the current page and check whether the current page is the homepage or not, in the header partial.
To get the current page in partial view,
@inherits UmbracoTemplatePage
@{
var currentPage = Umbraco.Content(umbraco.NodeFactory.Node.GetCurrent().Id);
}
And to check whether it is home page or not, I decided to compare against DocumentTypeAlias as shown below,
@if (currentPage.DocumentTypeAlias == "home")
{
// some code
And it works.
