Check if we in backend area of October CMS

Question

In some places of my code I need to check if it's a backend area or a public page. I wrote a simple function in my Utils class.

    static public function isInBackend()
    {
        return (strpos(Url::current(), Config::get('cms.backendUri', 'backend')) !== false);
    }

Does anyone know better ways to check that?

Answer 1

It's very easy in OctoberCMS to check whether you are in backend or not; just see below code for that:

if(\App::runningInBackend()) {
    //write your code here
}
