How to get the Image URL for an Image Field inside of the Studio

16 replies
Last updated: May 14, 2020
hey guys! what’s the best way to get the image url for an image field inside of the Studio? The use case is display the document image for SEO preview in the split preview panel.

asset.url
  ?
May 14, 2020, 4:27 AM
unfortunately, it’s 
undefined
😞
I named the image 
image
in my document, and this is what I get:

{
  asset: {
    _ref: 'image-[hash]-[dimension]-png',
    type: 'reference'
  },
  _type: 'image'
}

image.url
is 
undefined
and 
image.asset.url
is also 
undefined

Can you share the document schema?

And when you write

, how are you implementing this?

Not really sure. what about 
seo.image._ref
as weird as that seems?
May 14, 2020, 4:49 AM
_ref
is on 
seo.image
and it’s not a filename. it looks like this “image-aecfca21db0ccac083c7df9bad5c6b057d29d97a-3072x1716-png”

You can use the 
@sanity/image-url
module: https://github.com/sanity-io/image-url
May 14, 2020, 5:14 AM
urlFor(seo.image).toString()

! follow-up question, how do I get the current dataset and projectId from inside the Studio to initiate the sanity client?
May 14, 2020, 5:15 AM
You can get the preconfigured client by importing it through 
import client from 'part:@sanity/base/client'
May 14, 2020, 5:16 AM
awesome, thanks! that’s exactly what I need
