Query for PDF not working - How to Query for a PDF

Hi there, I'm trying to query for a pdf that I've saved on sanity. It is of the type: "file". It currently looks like this when I print it:

PDF: { _type: 'file', asset: [Object] },

I want to access the object for its url so I can use it in an href like so:

<a href={pdf}/>

I tried like the docs suggest but it doesn't seem to work:

PDF{

asset->url

},

What doesn’t work? What data do you receive from your query? 🙂

It is a PDF file.
What doesn't seem to work is trying to unpack the object for its URL?

Hence why I ask what you get back from your query. Can you log it? 🙂

Yes, it looks like this:

PDF: { _type: 'file', asset: [Object] },

or otherwise this:

{

_type: 'file',

asset: {

_ref: 'file-f3654343bdaadea9dd8f256455b63afdc270637a-pdf',

_type: 'reference'

}

}

Right, to that means the asset hasn’t been resolved. Can you show the way you declare the field in your schema and your query itself?

Sure it looks like this:

{

name: "PDF",

title: "PDF",

type: "file",

description: "The pdf",

},

Alright, can you try this please?

ahh voila! That worked. Thanks 🙂

Yay, amazing. 🙂
