How to check if a post has any one of many shortcodes?

I want to check if a post has one of the following shortcodes, wpdocs-shortcode-1, wpdocs-shortcode-2, wpdocs-shortcode-3. If it found any of those shortcodes, then do enqueue scripts and styles.

Basically this code works.

    function wpdocs_shortcode_scripts() {
      global $post;
      if ( is_a( $post, 'WP_Post' ) && has_shortcode( $post->post_content, 'wpdocs-shortcode') ) {
       wp_enqueue_script( 'wpdocs-script');
      }
   }
   add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'wpdocs_shortcode_scripts');

What I’d like to achieve is check for more than one shortcodes. I tried the following code by passing an array but it did not work.

 function wpdocs_shortcode_scripts() {
  global $post;
  if ( is_a( $post, 'WP_Post' ) && has_shortcode( $post->post_content, array('wpdocs-shortcode-1', 'wpdocs-shortcode-2', 'wpdocs-shortcode-3') ) {
   wp_enqueue_script( 'wpdocs-script');
  }
 }
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'wpdocs_shortcode_scripts');

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much!

Method 1

So yes, as you say you can’t pass an array to has_shortcode, which is confirmed in the docs, so you need to do the ‘OR’ operation manually, which would look something like this:

$shortCodesToTest = [ 'wpdocs-shortcode-1', 'wpdocs-shortcode-2', 'wpdocs-shortcode-3'];

$anyShortCode = false;

foreach ($shortCodesToTest as $sc) {
    if (has_shortcode( $post->post_content, $sc) ) {
        $anyShortCode = true;
    }
}

Now use the $anyShortCode variable as you like – it will be True if any of the shortcodes were found. For example:

if ( is_a( $post, 'WP_Post' ) && $anyShortCode ) {
    wp_enqueue_script( 'wpdocs-script');
}

Method 2

You can loop through the shortcuts and then put something into an array when you get a hit.

If the array is not empty at the end, your script can be loaded.

<?php
function wpdocs_shortcode_scripts() {
    global $post;

    $shortcodes = [ 'wpdocs-shortcode-1', 'wpdocs-shortcode-2', 'wpdocs-shortcode-3' ];

    $found = [];

    foreach ( $shortcodes as $shortcode ) :
        if ( is_a( $post, 'WP_Post' ) && has_shortcode( $post->post_content, $shortcode ) ) {
            $found[] = $shortcode;
        }
    endforeach;

    if ( ! empty( $found ) ) {
        wp_enqueue_script( 'wpdocs-script' );
    }
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'wpdocs_shortcode_scripts' );
