Get the post type within a Wordpress search loop

I'm using a loop in my search.php file to loop through the results and display their title.

This works great, but I'd like to check for each result, whether it is a page or a post. The following code doesn't seem to work.

if ( have_posts() ) : ?>



    <h1 class="page-title"><?php printf( __( 'Results for: %s', 'domain' ), '<span>' . get_search_query() . '</span>' ); ?></h1>



    <?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();



        $title = get_the_title();



        echo '<article class="post-card">';



            if ( is_page() ) {

                echo 'page';

            } else if ( is_singular('post') ) {

                echo 'post';

            }



            echo '<h2>' .$title. '</h2>';

        echo '</article>';



    endwhile; ?>



<?php endif;

I think you are looking for this function. Will be shorter. Just pass the post object and it will return string containing the post type.

get_post_type( int|WP_Post|null $post = null )

 $somePost; // post

 $postType = get_post_type($somePost);



 if ('page' === $postType) { 

    // page...

 }

 elseif ('post' === $postType { 

    // post...

 }
