How do I get the $handle for all enqueued scripts?

2 comments

1. the $wp_scripts global holds all the script data:

   function wpa54064_inspect_scripts() {
       global $wp_scripts;
       foreach( $wp_scripts->queue as $handle ) :
           echo $handle;
       endforeach;
   }
   add_action( 'wp_print_scripts', 'wpa54064_inspect_scripts' );

2. Is there some way to get the $handle for each script that has been enqueued?

   You could try inspecting $wp_scripts->queue at a specific hook but it won’t give you a list of all handles used by WordPress, believe it or not.

   For example, you could hook into wp_head, which runs the wp_print_scripts action, to get a list of $handles for the stock Twenty Seventeen theme in WP v4.7.5:

   function get_enqueued_scripts () {
       $scripts = wp_scripts();
       var_dump( array_keys( $scripts->groups ) );
   }
   
   add_action( 'wp_head', 'get_enqueued_scripts' );
   

   And the list of $handles from $wp_scripts->groups will output:

   

   At this point, if you were to compare what exists in $wp_scripts->queue you will only see a subset of the above.

   Therefore, even wp_print_scripts will not provide a full list of handles as shown above, if that’s what you’re after. And it’s not possible to always rely on grouped dependencies to get them either.
