Determine if an org heading has children

Question

In elisp, how can I tell whether the org heading under point is a leaf node or whether it has child headings? I've found org-list-has-child-p, but I'm having trouble delivering the struct to the function.

Answer 1

You could try org-goto-first-child (inside save-excursion, so you don't actually move the point) and see if it returned nil:

(defun my-org-has-child-p ()
  (interactive)
  (save-excursion
    (org-goto-first-child)))
