tyty. exactly what i was looking for. getPathByAlias doesnt seem to return node id for the frontpage, all the other search results were saying to use that but failed to note it wouldnt work if you were dealing with the front, at least for drupal 8.6.4

If you're doing this in anything but a procedural function, you should make sure to use dependency injection as using the Drupal global static object is meant only for legacy code and is considered bad practice elsewhere.
