Getting posts per page in a plugin?

[CST1229]

Is there a way to get the number of posts per page in a plugin?

Update:

pb.data('lm_limit') now gives you that value without having to dive into list manager's bowels

That number is buried in the prototype of the list manager which can be accessed via window.listMan (test for it since not consistently present on every page) or via proboards.listManagers[pb.data('lm_id')] (more consistent for the time being). Once you have access to the list manager you can then query its prototype for its options: window.listMan.options.limit

Since access to the proboards global namespace has been deprecated and we've been told to access user-facing functions through the newer pb namespace (i.e. pb.list_manager()) we'll lose access to the list manager prototype at some point and no longer have that data to rely upon in our coding so you may want to weigh that calculation if including such a feature in your code.

Thanks! Is using the proboards global object as a fallback like this fine?
const listMan = window.listMan || proboards.listManagers[pb.data('lm_id')];

That should work!
