How to use template values in templates?

16 replies
Last updated: Apr 15, 2021
I am currently creating a new starter template and want to use template-values for presetting some stuff.There are also urls in my template values. Unfortunately after replacing the values these are shown as encoded string. Is there any trick to solve this?
e.g.

<https://sanity>...
will become:

https:&#x2F;&#x2F;sanity-...
This happens when running:

sanity-template build --template-values template-values-development.json

Thanks for your reply. I just updated the version of sanity-template. Unfortunately with the same result:

Hm, what template field is this and what type of file is it? (json or js/ts)

It's the scully.web.config.ts file

setPluginConfig(SitemapPlugin, {
    urlPrefix: 'https:&#x2F;&#x2F;sanity-....,
    ...
})

Just to double check, if you run
sanity-template --version
and
npx sanity-template --version
you get
2.4.2
from both?

npx sanity-template --version shows 2.4.2sanity-template --version shows 2.4.1

how do I need to update it to have a 2.4.2 for both?

you don't need the global one if you always run
npx sanity-template ...
which is a good habit (in my opinion, at least 🙂)

so you can either remove the global (
npm rm -g sanity-template
) or upgrade it (
npm install -g sanity-template
)

True! This works. Thanks a lot!By the way I get an error in

node_modules\sanity-template\dist\commands\utils\fs.js:67:39
I solved this temporary by just returning an empty array in the resolveIgnores function.
I am running this on a win10 64bit machine inside an nx workspace.
Maybe you can note this as an issue at sanity.
Nevertheless now I get the expected result from template builder.
Thanks a lot!

If you got time we'd be very thankful if you could report the fs issue (preferably with a full stack trace) on https://github.com/sanity-io/sanity-template/issues
Apr 15, 2021, 9:01 AM
alright, I created an issue. Hopefully there's enough information in it.Again thanks a lot for your support
