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,
1@inherits UmbracoTemplatePage23@{4 var currentPage = Umbraco.Content(umbraco.NodeFactory.Node.GetCurrent().Id);5}
And to check whether it is home page or not, I decided to compare against DocumentTypeAlias as shown below,
1@if (currentPage.DocumentTypeAlias == "home")2{3 // some code
And it works.
