Error querying blog post by slug in Next.js project

Hello folks, I’m querying blog posts data from sanity in my nextjs project, I was successful at that, but I’m having error trying to query a blog post by slug. I will appreciate a second eye to look at what I might be doing wrong. Thanks
 error node_modules/@sanity/client/dist/index.cjs (90:12) @ onResponse
- error Error: unable to parse entire expression
    at Object.onceWrapper (node:events:641:28)
    at DestroyableTransform.emit (node:events:539:35)
This is how I’m querying it


export const getSinglePost = async (
  slug: string
): Promise<PostData["data"]> => {
  const client = createClient(clientConfig);

  return await client.fetch(
    groq`
  *[_type == "post" && slug.current == ${slug}][0] {
      title,
      "slug":slug.current,
      "author":author->name,
      "image":image.asset->url,
      description,
      category[]->,
      toc[]->,
      body,
      publishedAt
  },
  `,
    {
      slug,
    }
  );
};

const BlogDetails = async ({ params: { slug } }: Params) => {
  const singlePost = await getSinglePost(slug);
  return <BlogDetailsComponent postDetails={singlePost} />;
};
export default BlogDetails;

Hi
user E
. I think it may be that comma after your projection:

      publishedAt
  },   // <-- Try removing the comma
  `,
    {
      slug,

Since you want the slug
param
, it looks like you’ll want to change
${slug}
to
$slug
in this line:

*[_type == "post" && slug.current == ${slug}][0] {

It works now, many thanks
user A
. I really appreciate it. It looks like I have to learn the groq query language :simple_smile:
