Is there a better way to pass my projectId and dataset in a secure way to my code? This is using block-content-to-react.
    <PortableText blocks={post._rawDescription} projectId={"abc123"} dataset={"myCoolDataset"} />

You could create a config-file with environment variables, which is imported into this file, and spread it.config.js (copied from my gatsby project)

module.exports = {
  sanity: {
    projectId: process.env.GATSBY_SANITY_PROJECT_ID || 'default',
    dataset: process.env.GATSBY_SANITY_DATASET || 'production'
  }
}
and then in your Portable text file:

import clientConfig from 'client-config';

...

<PortableText {...clientConfig} .../>

Just keep in mind that project IDs and datasets are not considered "secret". You probably want to make sure they are easy to replace if you want to switch to a different dataset, for instance, but the security shouldn't be in not knowing those IDs πŸ™‚
