How can I get the page title?

Question

drupal_get_title() has been removed from Drupal 8. How I can get the page title in Drupal 8?

Answer 1

If you check the change records you should find the following: drupal_set_title() and drupal_get_title() were removed.

You'll have to read the change notice for all of the info, but here is a starting point:

drupal_get_title()

As titles on routes now can be set on various ways (see above), drupal_get_title() has been removed. In its place you should call the title_resolver service.

Drupal 7

<?php
  $title = drupal_get_title();
?>

Drupal 8

<?php
  $request = \Drupal::request();
  if ($route = $request->attributes->get(\Symfony\Cmf\Component\Routing\RouteObjectInterface::ROUTE_OBJECT)) {
    $title = \Drupal::service('title_resolver')->getTitle($request, $route);
  }
?>

Answer 2

As per batch_test.module (D8.4) the following should work just fine:

$request = \Drupal::request();
$route_match = \Drupal::routeMatch();
$title = \Drupal::service('title_resolver')->getTitle($request, $route_match->getRouteObject());

For more info see public function TitleResolver::getTitle.

Answer 3

Note

The accepted response for this question is out of date: See Request parameters, route name, and route object should be accessed via RouteMatch.

You should use the current_route_match service to retrieve the current route, and then read or modify its parameters. This wraps any Symfony etc. magic.

In procedural code, you would use code similar to the following one.

$route = \Drupal::routeMatch()->getCurrentRouteMatch()->getRouteObject();
$title = $route->getDefault('_title');

In object-oriented code, you should use dependency injection and inject the service.

Answer 4

Drupal 8

$request = \Drupal::request();
  // Assuming the Request is $request.
  if ($request->attributes->has('_title')) {
    return $request->attributes->get('_title');
  }

Answer 5

In drupal 8 you can use $node->getTitle().
