# Get custom post type?

 * So I am currently trying to get the current post type in a class. Unfortunately
   it seems like due to me trying to get it in the construct it is not returning
   the correct value. I attempted the following but it is not doing it correctly.
   Have been unable to find how to do it in the construct.
 *     ```
       $post_type = get_post_type($post->ID);
       if ($post_type == 'some_cpt') {
       //do something
       }
       ```

   Post type on success, false on failure.
