Basic Usage 💡

Configuration

import { SanityContentProvider } from '@vyuh/react-plugin-content-provider-sanity';
import { DefaultContentPlugin } from '@vyuh/react-extension-content';
import { VyuhProvider, PluginDescriptor } from '@vyuh/react-core';

// Configure Sanity provider
const contentProvider = new SanityContentProvider({
  projectId: 'your-project-id',
  dataset: 'production',
  perspective: 'published', // or 'drafts' for preview mode
  useCdn: true, // Set to false for real-time preview
  token: 'your-sanity-token', // Optional: for authenticated requests
});

// Create content plugin with Sanity provider
const plugins = new PluginDescriptor({
  content: new DefaultContentPlugin(contentProvider),
  // Other plugins...
});

// Set up your application
function App() {
  return (
    <VyuhProvider features={getFeatures} plugins={plugins}>
      <YourApp />
    </VyuhProvider>
  );
}

Fetching Content

The provider handles content fetching through the ContentPlugin interface:

import { useVyuh } from '@vyuh/react-core';

function MyComponent() {
  const { plugins } = useVyuh();
  const { content } = plugins;

  // Fetch a single item by ID
  const fetchById = async () => {
    const item = await content.provider.fetchById('document-id');
    // Use the item...
  };

  // Fetch using a GROQ query
  const fetchWithQuery = async () => {
    const item = await content.provider.fetchSingle(
      '*[_type == "page" && slug.current == $slug][0]',
      { params: { slug: 'home' } },
    );
    // Use the item...
  };

  // Fetch multiple items
  const fetchMultiple = async () => {
    const items = await content.provider.fetchMultiple(
      '*[_type == "post"] | order(publishedAt desc)[0...10]',
    );
    // Use the items...
  };

  // Fetch a route by path
  const fetchRoute = async () => {
    const route = await content.provider.fetchRoute({ path: '/about' });
    // Use the route...
  };
}

Live Updates

The Sanity provider includes support for real-time content updates using Sanity's Live Content API. This allows your application to automatically update when content changes in the Sanity studio without requiring a page refresh:

import { AsyncContentContainer } from '@vyuh/react-extension-content';
import { useVyuh } from '@vyuh/react-core';
import { Observable } from 'rxjs';

function LiveContent() {
  const { plugins } = useVyuh();
  const { content } = plugins;

  // Check if live updates are supported
  if (!content.provider.supportsLive) {
    return <div>Live updates not supported</div>;
  }

  // Create a function that returns an Observable
  // This Observable will emit new values whenever the content changes in Sanity
  const fetchLiveContent = (): Observable<any> => {
    return content.provider.live.fetchSingle('*[_type == "settings"][0]');
  };

  return (
    <AsyncContentContainer
      fetchContent={fetchLiveContent}
      renderContent={(data) => <SettingsDisplay data={data} />}
      live={true} // Enable live updates mode
    />
  );
}

When using live updates:

• Content changes are pushed from Sanity in real-time
• No polling or manual refreshing is needed
• Updates are efficient, only sending the changed data
• Perfect for preview environments and collaborative editing

Tip: The @vyuh/react-extension-content package provides a RouteLoader component that simplifies working with live routes. Simply set the live prop to true:

import { RouteLoader } from '@vyuh/react-extension-content';

function LiveRoutePage() {
  return (
    <RouteLoader
      path="/about"
      live={true} // Enable live updates for this route
    />
  );
}

Advanced Features ⚙️

Image URL Generation

Generate image URLs for rendering images from Sanity:

function ImageComponent({ imageRef }) {
  const { plugins } = useVyuh();

  // imageRef is a Sanity image reference object from your content
  // Example: { _type: 'image', asset: { _ref: 'image-abc123-1200x800-jpg' } }
  const imageUrl = plugins.content.provider.image(imageRef);

  return <img src={imageUrl} alt="My image" loading="lazy" />;
}

File URL Generation

Generate file URLs for videos and other files stored in Sanity:

function VideoPlayer({ videoRef }) {
  const { plugins } = useVyuh();

  // videoRef is a Sanity file reference object from your content
  // Example: { _type: 'file', asset: { _ref: 'file-abc123-mp4' } }
  const videoUrl = plugins.content.provider.fileUrl(videoRef);

  return (
    <video controls>
      <source src={videoUrl} type="video/mp4" />
      Your browser does not support the video tag.
    </video>
  );
}

// For other file types like PDFs
function DocumentViewer({ fileRef }) {
  const { plugins } = useVyuh();
  const fileUrl = plugins.content.provider.fileUrl(fileRef);

  return (
    <div>
      <a href={fileUrl} target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">
        View Document
      </a>
    </div>
  );
}
