Hello, is there a function in the kirby core to convert a page object to YAML data like $page->create but without writing it to disk? Something like $page->create without URI and Template? I need it inside a page.update.hook to check if $page and $oldPage are the same/something was changed. Mayb…

After your update: maybe converting $page and $oldPage to arrays , and then use array_diff is a better solution?

I’ll try so now because data::encode($page, 'yaml') (also for $oldPage) gives back just nothing. Thank you!

You probably want to compare the content of those pages, so it would make more sense to use the content object: $page->content()->toArray();

Works great! Thank you for the helpful hints!
