If you're using Next, I recommend using next-sanity . It's a great toolkit and has some good examples of usage in its readme.

Great! it did work with line of code though i wonder what is
import SanityPortableText from '@sanity/block-content-to-react';
usePreviewSubscription? how to do i make link as pure html like blue color.

Use Preview Subscription will be for if you set up live previews of your content inside of the sanity Studio. To make an
<a>tag, you would have to set up a serializer for the block. How do you currently have it set up in your Portable Text editor?

It look something like that:// schema.js
// blockContent.js
export default {
name: 'body',
type: 'array',
title: 'Body',
of: [
{
type: 'block'
}
]
}/**

Got it! This guide (specifically the part about rendering the links with React ) will show you which serializer you need to set up.
