Returning a field's type?

[a-ok]

Why does this return null?

$page->products_sku->type

I thought you could check a field's type? I know this works...

$fields->products_sku->type

But if I have the following, how could I check the type?

$slides = $page->products_sku;
// I need to return $slides type
bd($fields->products_sku->type);

$fields->get("priduct_sku")->type

Exactly. And just to clarify: $page->field_name returns a value stored in the field, not a field object, so that's why you can't check the type of the field that way ?
