title: get

summary: Looks up an item by ID.

type: method

signature: id, page_num=...

body:

This method mostly exists for consistency.  It's an alternative to using
the [get :ref](../../pad/get/) method of the pad but respects the currently
applied filtering.  If `page_num` is provided it overrides the currently
requested page number from the query for pagination.

## Example

```html+jinja
{% set p1 = this.children.get('project-1') %}
<h2>{{ p1.name }}</h2>
<p>Our favorite!
```
