# `GSLayer indexPathOfNode:`

*Instance Method*

Returns the index path of a node in this layer.

## Declaration

```swift
func indexPath(of node: GSNode) -> IndexPath?
```

```objc
- (NSIndexPath *) indexPathOfNode:(GSNode *) node;
```

```python
indexPathOfNode_(node: GSNode) -> NSIndexPath
```

## Discussion

The first index is the linear path index and the second index is the node index in that path. Returns `nil` when the node does not belong to this layer.
