Core

get_id(): int

---

exists(): bool

Returns true if the type was found.

if ( $type->exists() ) { ... }

Common keys: id, singular, plural, slug, settings, vdp_template, not_found_image, apply_sold_badge, sold_badge, apply_sale_pending_badge, sale_pending_badge, badge_conditions, hotlink_images

echo esc_html( $type->get( 'plural' ) );      // e.g. "Vehicles"
echo esc_html( $type->get( 'slug' ) );        // e.g. "vehicles"
