Think about Drupal Developer following menu construction:

• Web page 1 kind: article
• Web page 2 comes from a view
  • Web page 3 kind: fascinating < need this
    • Web page 4 kind: random
      • Web page 5 kind: random
• Web page 6 kind: article

Let’s imagine I am on Web page 5. I need to know if any mother or father menu merchandise’s node has Drupal Developer content material kind fascinating.

I acquired a menu merchandise id menu_link_content:uuid for Web page 5. My present strategy is Drupal Developer following:

<?php  $values['menu_parent'] = 'essential:menu_link_content:uuid'; listing($menuName, $entityName, $uuid) = explode(':', $values['menu_parent'], 3); $menuLinkManager = Drupal::service('plugin.supervisor.menu.hyperlink'); $mother and father = $menuLinkManager->getParentIds($entityName . ':' . $uuid);  foreach ($mother and father as $parentPluginId) {    $mlc_ids = Drupal::database()     ->choose('menu_tree', 'mt')     ->fields('mt', ['route_param_key'])     ->situation('route_name', 'entity.node.canonical')     ->situation('id', $parentPluginId)     ->execute()     ->fetchCol();    // menu_tree offers again node=nid   if ($mlc_id && strpos($mlc_id, 'node=') !== false) {     // cut up node=nid into separate values     listing($entityString, $nid) = explode("=", $mlc_id, 2);      // load Drupal Developer respective node and see if it's a mission     $parentNode = Drupal::entityManager()->getStorage('node')->load($nid);      if ($parentNode) {       $parentType = $parentNode->getType();        // we discovered Drupal Developer mother or father mission node       if ('mission' == $parentType) {         $node->set('field_project_ref', $nid);         $node->save();         drupal_set_message(           t("Drupal Development Company content material was mechanically added a mission reference as a result of it is mother or father menu objects."),           'standing'         );          break;       }     }   } } 

So I’d go on and cargo Drupal Developer node if Drupal Developer database assertion discovered one thing and verify Drupal Developer node kind and many others. I simply marvel if there was a extra performant/ higher, out of Drupal Developer field method of doing that?

One thing like

$menuLinkContent->getTargetEntity()->getType() 

or

entityManager()->loadEntityFromMenu() 

could be good.
