GROQ Query Error - Error: `String Literal Expected`

1 replies
Last updated: Jan 21, 2023
Hi all, I need some help with a simple groq query. I am new to this, so having a little trouble figuring this out.

I have a list of services in the dataset that reference one of my 8 service sellers. I am trying to return all type=seller, with an added property of 'listedServices' that returns a total number of services that are referencing each particular seller.
I keep getting the error: 
string literal expected
with the following query
*[_type == "seller"] {
  _id,
  name,
  sellerImageUrl,
  sellerRating,
  serviceCount: count(service[_type == "service" && _ref == ^._id])
}

I think you need to modify the serviceCount part of the query like so...

*[_type == "seller"] {
  _id,
  name,
  sellerImageUrl,
  sellerRating,
  "serviceCount": count(*[_type == "service" && references(^._id)])
}
I'm also a GROQ noob though, so apologies if that doesn't work/help!
