Sane Schemas

These schemas are to make sanity live up to its name. They include ADA considerations where they help (ahem-alt text), helpful SEO fields for your posts, and some schemas that may be helpful.

Content Schemas

Content schemas are for short-form and long-form content like pages.

• Author - The author of a post or a project.
• Documentation - A version and language controlled page type for documentation.
• FAQ - Frequently asked questions contains the question, answer, and number of times asked.
• Navigation: A version and language controlled page type for site navigation.
• NavigationItem: A navigation item that also can have child navigation items for super navs.
• Post - A blog post that an author has written.
• Project - An open-source project template that contains urls to documentation, artifact hosting, and an article about building it.

Fields

Fields that may be useful when building your content out.

• title: A string field built for page title. It has validation for seo best-practices.
• slug: A simple slug field.
• description: A string field built for page description. It has validation for seo best-practices.
• language: A reference field to the Language schema.
• canonical_url: A url field for canonical url metadata for a page.

Global Schemas

Global schemas are types that are used in nearly any top level document.

• Category - Categories allow better filtering of posts and products.
• Language - Language unlocks internationalization of posts and products.
• Tag - Tag allows better filtering of posts and products.
• Version - Version allows you to keep many versions of the same document.

Media Schemas

Media schemas are multi-media types that take web accessibility in mind.

• Carousel - An array of the Image document type.
• Image - An a11y image type.
• Variant - A variant of the image, usually for different screen resolutions.

Complete Schemas

Complete schemas are the fastest way for you to use our schema types. They are compound schemas built by the many schemas above.

• Blog Schema - The Author, Post, Category, Language, Tag, Carousel, Image, and Variant schemas bundled together to give you blogging capabilities with one line of code.

• Documentation Schema - The Author, Documentation, FAQ, Navigation, NavigationItem, Post, Category, Language, Tag, and Version schemas bundled together to give you documentation capabilities with one line of code.

Paginating Schemas

To paginate a query to the post type, do something similar to below.

/**
 * Gets the current and next page of results. Requires a start, end, and offset variable.
 * 
 * Start - the index of the first item on the current page
 * End - the index of the last item on the current page
 * Offset - the number of items on each page
 */
const query = `
    *[type == "post" && category[].name == "cat-name"] | order(lastUpdated desc) [$start..$end] {
        ..., # all of the fields on the post

        # sub-query to get the next page of results
        "next": *[type == "post" && category[].name == ^.category.name] | order(lastUpdated desc) [$end..$nextEnd] {
            ...
        }
    }`;

Getting Images

Images in this schema are extended to have a default image type and alternative text associated with them for stronger web accessibility.

*[type === "post"] {
    ...,
    "thumbnail": ^.thumbnail->{
        alt,
        "variants": ^.variants[]->{
            width,
            height,
            aspectRatio,
            "url": ^.image->asset
        }
    }
}

The code above goes into our a11y-image document type and returns all of the variants and the alt text for them. Each variant returns a width, height, aspect-ratio, and the url.
