# getValueByPath

The `getValueByPath` method gets the value of a document field. The field is specified by its path, which means that you can get the value of a sub field. If you pass this method the path of a multi-value field, only the first value is returned. To return all of the values from a multi-value field, see getValuesByPath.

## Syntax

    getValueByPath( path )

## Arguments

Argument | Description
--- | ---
`path` | (string) The path of the field.

## Returns

(String). A string containing the value.

## Example

    local value = document:getValueByPath("myfield")
    local subfieldvalue = document:getValueByPath("myfield/subfield")
