Strapi toObject() is not a function error

Question

I am trying to execute a custom query in strapi by following the documentation on https://strapi.io/documentation/v3.x/concepts/queries.html#custom-queries

However I keep running into the error that the toObject function is not defined

My approach:

const result = strapi.query('balance').model.find({
          _id: "5f319bd650d74b153c8329dd",
        });
        console.log(result)
        const fields = result.toObject()

Error:

TypeError: result.toObject is not a function

Answer 1

In this case you shouldn't need to use a .toObject() but you do need to make the query an async/await.
