Hey y’all,
@sanity/image-url
is being a pain in my bum. I can’t get the images to render. Following along with the example here: https://www.sanity.io/docs/image-url
my code blocks look like:

const urlFor = src => {
  imageUrlBuilder({
    projectId: process.env.GATSBY_SANITY_ID,
    dataset: process.env.GATSBY_SANITY_DATASET,
  }).image(src)
}
and

export const imageGallery = ({ node }) => {
  const { gallery } = node
  return (
    <div>
      {gallery.map((galleryImage, i) => {
        const { image, alt } = galleryImage
        return <img key={i} src={urlFor(image)} alt={alt} />
      })}
    </div>
  )
}

Have you tried chaining
url()
to what you’re returning in urlFor?
like:

 imageUrlBuilder({
    projectId: process.env.GATSBY_SANITY_ID,
    dataset: process.env.GATSBY_SANITY_DATASET,
  }).image(src).url()

Note that the 
url()
 function needs to be the final one in order to output the url as a string.

unfortunately same result 😞

I’ve now tried returning a
console.log(urlFor(image).url())
and it’s returning undefined. I’ve also tried passing in strings instead of env vars and nada. I have no idea why it’s not working 😕

What does
urlFor
return?

undefined

when I pass it the image object

omg. Okay I see what happened. I didn’t specify
return imageUrlBuilder(...)
in my function

DUH. Sorry about that
Aug 12, 2020, 7:22 PM
Yeah, just realized
