In both field methods and kirbytext tags we can get the page object which is important for many cases. However I find them inconsistent with each other.
Differences
In kirbytext::$tags
echo $tag->page()->title();
In field::$methods
echo $tag->page->title();
Do you spot the difference? With kirbytext tags it’s called like a nested function. With field method it’s a… I don’t know, something else.
Why bother?
When I first tried field methods I used echo $field->page()->title() but that failed because it does not work like in the template.
Today, I could not find the docs right away when trying out kirbytext tags, so I tried echo $tag->page->title() because I remembered how I did with field methods. That also failed because it does not work like the field method.
To be inutiative I think they need to be “in sync”.
Prefered version
I like how kirbytext tags works. Always use page() as a function, because that is how it also work in the template.
I think field method is the not so good one here.
