Changelog

Faster import, easier navigation, object-type block members

Studio v3.16.7

Installation and upgrading

Fresh install

To install and initiate a new Sanity Studio without installing the Sanity CLI globally, run the following command in the terminal:

npm create sanity@latest

Upgrade

To upgrade an existing instance to Sanity Studio v3, run the following commands in the terminal:

# Go to the root folder of the installed Sanity Studio instance
cd /sanity-studio/root-folder

# Upgrade Studio to v3
npm install sanity@latest

✨ Highlights

🚒 This release: 3.16.7

In a nutshell:

  • Blocks only accept objects as members.
  • Easier navigation in Sanity Studio.
  • Import concurrency increase for faster dataset import.

Improved validation of block members

Previously, blocks also accepted non-object types as members. From this release, it's no longer possible to use primitive types as members of a block. Members of a block must be object-like type.

Title updates in Desk Tool

In this release, we improved the navigation inside the studio by updating the <title> element to make it more specific to the current route every time a user navigates in the studio. This makes it easier to browse documents and switch tools.

Increased performance for dataset imports

Past versions encountered challenges with concurrent operations during parallel reference strengthening. This issue was addressed in a past release. This release enhances import performance by further optimizing the parallel strengthening of references. The concurrency improvement boosts import performance significantly.

Other features

  • Simplified managing reference publishing icons by adding aria-labels for accessibility.

πŸ› Notable bugfixes

  • Fixes a visibility issue related to breadcrumbing in the review changes section. Breadcrumbs are now consistent with the new breadcrumb styling.
  • Fixes an issue where dialogs wouldn't correctly appear at smaller breakpoints.
  • Fixes a minor issue affecting restoring document history in the studio desk tool with multiple nested panes.
  • Fixes an issue in the studio desk tool using the index as a key instead of the path when handling multiple validation errors for the same field/node.

Enhanced Portable Text editing, faster syncing, better Android support

Studio v3.16.0

Installation and upgrading

Fresh install

To install and initiate a new Sanity Studio without installing the Sanity CLI globally, run the following command in the terminal:

npm create sanity@latest

Upgrade

To upgrade an existing instance to Sanity Studio v3, run the following commands in the terminal:

# Go to the root folder of the installed Sanity Studio instance
cd /sanity-studio/root-folder

# Upgrade Studio to v3
npm install sanity@latest

✨ Highlights

This release: 3.16.0

In a nutshell:

  • Enhanced Portable Text editing experience.
  • Faster syncing.
  • Full support for Portable Text on Android devices.
  • Offline detection.

Improved Unicode support

Sanity Studio uses the diff-match-patch algorithm to match and patch document changes. In previous versions of the Sanity Studio, the underlying library wouldn't work correctly when parsing some Unicode characters. We addressed those issues in this release.

If you experienced issues when using characters such as emojis, Kanji, or other non-Latin characters, this release resolves these issues.

Enhanced Portable Text editing

Besides improved Unicode support, the Portable Text Input and the underlying text editor feature several improvements to provide a smoother editing experience.

Faster synchronization

Previously, prolonged fast typing in the editor would trigger debouncing: the Portable Text Input would temporarily suspend committing edits until you decreased your typing speed below a specified threshold.
This behavior could produce bigger discrepancies between your local value and the corresponding actual value stored on the server side.

Now your changes are committed in a throttled way: the editor commits the changes as you type, without compromising performance.

Improved undo and redo

Undo and redo features have been improved considerably, especially when working with many editors on the same document.

Better Android support

The Portable Text Input is now fully supported on Android. Previously, typing in the editor using an Android on-screen keyboard would cause some issues.

Offline detection

The Portable Text Editor automatically enters read-only mode if it detects that the network is offline.
This behavior helps keep your local document in sync with the corresponding copy on the server when there is no online access, and it prevents losing changes due to not committing them.

Other features

  • The sanity module is now marked as free of side effects, which can produce smaller bundle sizes (thanks @mckelveygreg! πŸ™)
  • Improved UX when deleting a document.

πŸ› Notable bugfixes

  • Fixed a bug where changing text styles in the Portable Text Editor would cause the editor to lose focus.
  • Fixed a problem that would occur when repeatedly applying and removing text decorators while typing in the Portable Text Input.
  • Fixed the odd placement of the β€œEmpty” placeholder in the Portable Text Editor on WebKit browsers.
  • Fixed a media visibility issue in Safari occurring in list previews with custom SVG elements.
  • Fixed the alignment of action items in pane headers on mobile devices.
  • Fixed a padding inconsistency in reference fields.
  • Fixed a visibility issue affecting tooltips in the navigation bar, and causing them to be displayed behind open menus.
  • Fixed an issue impacting cross-dataset reference fields displayed as nested fields, inconsistent with regular reference fields.
  • Fixed a bug that caused specifying apiVersion on documentList() and documentTypeList() to not work in the desk structure.
  • Fixed the initial flashes of validation errors for valid content on document load.

GraphQL API v2023-08-01

GraphQL v2023-08-01

v2023-08-01 is the first update to the Sanity GraphQL API to include breaking changes, and is released as an opt-in upgrade. Your existing projects that query the previous version – v1 – will continue to work as before, and you don’t need to take any action until you are ready to upgrade.

To start using the newest version, please ensure that you have read the section titled Breaking Changes below. Once you are ready, change your query endpoints as follows:

// Old endpoints
https://<yourProjectId>.api.sanity.io/v1/graphql/<dataset>/<tag>
https://<yourProjectId>.apicdn.sanity.io/v1/graphql/<dataset>/<tag>

// New endpoints 
https://<yourProjectId>.api.sanity.io/v2023-08-01/graphql/<dataset>/<tag>
https://<yourProjectId>.apicdn.sanity.io/v2023-08-01/graphql/<dataset>/<tag>

New features

This update adds GraphQL support for several recently added Content Lake features:

Perspectives

Content Source Maps

Visual Editing

Read the updated GraphQL docs to learn how to get started with these features!

Breaking changes

This update also introduces several adjustments to how queries are executed, which could potentially impact your query results. Before updating any of your existing v1 queries, make sure you have reviewed the following list of changes:

Change 1: Empty Match Operator

Previously, empty match patterns would evaluate as true and return all instances of the relevant type. Going forth, they will evaluate to false, resulting in no output.

v1 Behavior

Given the following query, v1 would return all posts:

query {
  allPost(where: {
    title: {
      matches: ""
    }
  }) {
    title
  }
}

v2023-08-01 Behavior:

In v2023-08-01, the same query now returns no results.

Replicate v1 Behavior:

To replicate the behavior of v1, remove the empty match filter.

Change 2: Processing of Match Patterns

The method for processing match patterns has changed. Match patterns are now tokenized into terms, and all terms must be present for a match.

v1 Behavior:

In v1, this query would return posts where any of the words β€œquick”, β€œbrown”, or β€œdog” were found in the title:

query {
  allPost(where: {
    title: {
      matches: "quick brown dog"
    }
  }) {
    title
  }
}

v2023-08-01 Behavior:

In v2023-08-01, the same query will only return posts where the title contains all three words: β€œquick”, β€œbrown”, and β€œdog”.

Replicate v1 Behavior:

The v1 behavior of matching individual words in a string cannot be replicated in v2023-08-01.

Change 3: Negative Limits

The handling of negative limits has been improved to better align with user expectations.

v1 Behavior:

In v1, negative values for the 'limit' parameter did not have the perhaps intuitive effect of reversing the direction of the limit. For example, one might expect that a 'limit' of -1 would exclude the last item from the result set. However, this was not the case, and the following query would return all results:

query {
  allPost(limit: -1, offset: 0, sort: { _createdAt: DESC }) {
    title
  }
}

v2023-08-01 Behavior:

In v2023-08-01, this query now operates as one might intuitively expect: a 'limit' of -1 effectively excludes the last item from the result set.

Change 4: Null Ordering

The handling of null values when sorting has changed.

v1 Behavior:

In v1, when sorting documents by a field, if that field contained a null value, the document would not be returned in the query result. For example, consider this query sorting by _createdAt:

query {
  allPost(limit: 3, sort: { _createdAt: DESC }) {
    title
  }
}

If _createdAt is null, the document will not be returned.

v2023-08-01 Behavior:

In v2023-08-01, matching documents that have _createdAt set to null are placed first in the returned results.

Replicate v1 Behavior:

With this release we have also added a new filter called is_defined you can use this to remove null values from responses.

query {
  allPost(
    where: { _createdAt: { is_defined: true } }
    limit: 3
    sort: { _createdAt: DESC }
  ) {
    title
  }
}

Custom Role Impact

Custom roles that use custom content resources defined as a GROQ filter will be impacted by the move to the new GraphQL API version.

With the new GraphQL API version it now uses GROQ version v2021-03-25 to apply the custom content resource GROQ filter as opposed to v1. As such you must inspect the breaking changes to understand if your GROQ filter will continue to work as expected and update it if needed.

For example, one example is this custom content resource GROQ filter:

foo[].bar == 'something'

In v1 this would have returned documents where any foo.bar equals β€œsomething"

This behaves differently in v2021-03-21. Using an equality operator with an array traversal is not supported and will return empty results. Instead, these should be rewritten to use the in operator:

'something' in foo[].bar

A negation of an array traversal expression, e.g., !(foo[].bar == 'something'), is also impacted in version v2021-03-25. In this version, an equality operation on an array traversal will result in false, so the negation will evaluate to true. Therefore, in v2021-03-21, negating the original expression will return all documents.

New init flags, virtualized arrays, improved configuration in Vite, and more

Studio v3.9.0

Installation and upgrading

To initiate a new Studio without installing the CLI globally:

npx create-sanity@latest

To upgrade an existing Studio (v3):

npm install sanity@latest

✨ Highlights

New init flags: --bare, --env

The npm create sanity and sanity init CLI commands now have two new flags available:

  • --bare - skips the installation of a Sanity Studio. Instead, it takes you through the project and dataset creation process and prints the project ID and dataset names to the console.
  • --env [path] - detects the framework used in the current directory and creates a .env file with the correct prefix for environment variables. The path is optional; the default value is .env, but you can change it to anything beginning with .env, for example, .env.local.example.

These flags are useful when you want to integrate an application with a new or existing project, when you have some existing Studio code you want to set up, or when you only need the Content Lake capabilities.

Improved performance on large arrays

Lists of objects and references are now virtualized in the Sanity Studio UI. This should significantly improve performance in documents with large arrays.

Improvements for custom Vite configuration

Any custom Vite configuration defined in sanity.cli.ts will now be merged with the default configuration using Vite’s merge logic. This improvement will make it easier customize the Vite configuration without having to deeply understand the defaults. The configuration now also has improved TypeScript types.

Other features

  • The schema validator now checks for fields that use the block type outside of an array, which is not currently supported (thanks @pauloborges!)

πŸ› Notable bugfixes

  • Resolves an error that occurred when attempting to create a document of a certain type with an empty object as the initial value, resulting in a permission error
  • Addresses an issue where CSS files were not properly updated with a configured Studio base path
  • Fixes a bug that caused the Studio to crash when trying to fetch user data without proper permissions
  • Resolves a problem where multiple sorting options could be selected at the same time in a dropdown menu
  • Addresses an issue where long filenames/MIME types were not truncated in the file picker list
  • Resolves a bug that caused the Portable Text Editor to crash when encountering an invalid value.

Improved handling of environment variables

Studio v3.5.0

Installation and upgrading

To initiate a new Studio without installing the CLI globally:

npx create-sanity@latest

To upgrade a v3 Studio:

npm install sanity@latest

✨ Highlights

Improved .env/environment variable handling

Over the past few releases we have been addressing some inconsistencies in how environment variables can be used. This release greatly improves how "dotenv" (.env) files are handled. To summarize the new behavior of environment variables and dotenv files from this release (v3.5.0) and onward:

  • All environment variables with the SANITY_STUDIO_ prefix is exposed to the bundle, and is available through process.env.SANITY_STUDIO_.... While they are theoretically also available under import.meta.env, it is not recommended to use them this way since it’s behavior specific to Vite, and thus not available under the same location in Node.js and other environments.
  • We now load both .env, .env.local, .env.<mode> and .env.<mode>.local files from the studio root folder. This is consistent with Vite’s behavior.
  • The .env files are loaded in the following order:
    • .env
    • .env.local
    • .env.<mode>
    • .env.<mode>.local
  • By default, sanity build and sanity deploy will use the production mode, while all other commands will default to the development mode.
    • Setting NODE_ENV to production will set the mode to production, but setting it to other values (such as test) will not change the mode.
    • To use a custom mode, you can set the SANITY_ACTIVE_ENV environment variable.
    • Both NODE_ENV and SANITY_ACTIVE_ENV must be set as a regular shell environment variable, not in .env files, since knowing which .env file to load is based on it.
  • Environment variables set in the shell will override variables set in the .env files.
  • The environment variables are loaded into both the browser bundle environment, and the CLI context. In other words, running scripts through sanity exec will have access to the same environment variables as the Studio bundle, and you can use environment variables in your sanity.cli.ts/sanity.config.ts files. Make sure you use process.env and not import.meta.env for cross-environment support.

Note that we encourage you to use environment variables sparingly, and define them in a single location instead of spreading them throughout the code base. This makes it easier to see which environment variables are in use, and allows you to easier transition between different environments should you need to. For instance, one might create a src/environment.ts file which re-exports the environment variables:

export const myCompanyInternalApiUrl = process.env.SANITY_STUDIO_MY_COMPANY_INTERNAL_API_URL
export const someOtherVariable = process.env.SANITY_STUDIO_SOME_OTHER_VARIABLE

Programmatic usage

Should you want to reuse the environment variable handling in other contexts (your own scripts, or using a different bundler etc), you can import and utilize the new getStudioEnvironmentVariables() method from sanity/cli:

import {getStudioEnvironmentVariables} from 'sanity/cli'

console.log(getStudioEnvironmentVariables())
// {SANITY_STUDIO_SOME_VAR: 'yourVariableValue'}

Note that .env files are not loaded by default when using this method. To do so, pass an envFile option:

import {getStudioEnvironmentVariables} from 'sanity/cli'

console.log(
  getStudioEnvironmentVariables({
    envFile: {
      mode: 'production',
      envDir: '/path/to/some-dotenv-root'
    }
  })
)

✨Highlights

RxJS upgraded to v7

This is an internal change, but if you have RxJS as a dependency in your Studio project you should make sure to upgrade to v7 of RxJS in your package.json. Otherwise you may get build errors due to changes in the Observable interface between v6 and v7 (note: this is a type change only, and should not affect the runtime behavior of your studio).

If you get a build error saying something similar to:

TS2322: Type 'Observable<…>' is not assignable to type 'ObservableInput<any>'. Type 'Observable<…>' is not assignable to type 'Observable<any>'. The types of 'source.operator.call' are incompatible between these types. …

Then the solution is to upgrade the version of RxJS used in your project or library to 7.x. See the full list of breaking changes in RxJS 7

Vite upgraded to v4

This is an internal change, but theoretically there might be small changes to how assets are handled between v3 and v4. If you're using custom Vite plugins or you are loading CSS or other files, please make sure they still work after the upgrade.

Notable changes

  • Reintroduces some flags for sanity graphql deploy. Note that flags will apply to all configured GraphQL APIs.

πŸ› Notable bugfixes

  • Fixes issue with useFormValue hook lagging one iteration behind
  • Fixes issue where the uploaded images menu was inaccessible

Bugfixes and improvements

Studio v3.1.0

Installation and upgrading

To initiate a new Studio without installing the CLI globally:

npx create-sanity@latest

To upgrade a v3 Studio:

npm install sanity@latest

✨ Highlights

Improved customization and TypeScript support for the Portable Text Input and schemas

Improved support for custom rendering of the content in the Portable Text input via .components.block, component.inlineBlock and .components.annotation render callbacks for object-like schema types, references and type aliases.

While this has been possible previously by modifying the block schema locally, these customizations can now also be put directly on the various content types themselves, to be shared between different Portable Text inputs using them. For example you can now customize how an author reference would appear in various Portable Text contexts on the author schema itself.

Also text specific schema properties like decorators, styles and lists for the block type itself have slighly changed their configuration in order to better align with the rest of the studio. More info: Changes in block schema customization properties.

If you previously did customization of the editor using your own render callbacks or icons through the .blockEditor property in the block schema, you will get a deprecation warning, but they will still continue to work until further notice.

Please refer to the documentation for how to customize the block type and the Portable Text editor for v3 of the studio.

Besides this, the Portable Text input related code and schema types have been given a TypeScript update for better type safety and developer experience.

Studio appearance

The user menu now has options to select the appearance (color scheme) of the Studio. The selected appearance is stored in local storage and is reused on the next visit.

Logo component updates

The button in the navbar that wraps the custom logo component has no padding anymore. This update is made in order to give the custom logo component full control over how big the button in the navbar should be. Therefore, the custom logo component may need to be updated in order to achieve the previous look. Below is an example of how to recreate the same result as before:

import {defineConfig} from 'sanity'
import {Box} from '@sanity/ui'

function MyLogo() {
  return (
    <Box padding={3}> // <-- Wrap your custom logo with a `Box` with `padding={3}`
      <CustomLogo />
    </Box>
  )
}

export default defineConfig({
  // ... rest of config

  studio: {
    components: {
      logo: MyLogo,
    },
  },
})

πŸ› Notable bugfixes

  • This update fixes so that the component in the root config (ie in defineConfig) is the component that receives the result of the props passed on with renderDefault in previous custom components.
  • Fixed an issue with custom sort orders

Version released on: December 14, 2021

Minor version bump! Several new features!

Studio v2.23.0

References in place

Users can now create a reference to a draft within the context of the referring document. This allows for a smoother workflow where having to leave the document you are working on in order to create and publish the document you wish to refer to is no longer necessary,
This new behavior of the reference input can be disabled by setting the property disableNew: true.

More:

Conditional readOnly fields and fieldsets

The ability to define if a field is editable based on conditions defined in a schema.

Info-level validation

In addition to being able to provide validation errors, developers can also provide guidance with ℹ️ -symbols to give in-line help to editors.

New modal options in Portable Text editor

The Portable Text editor now supports a new modal option with a type and width property. This means you can customize the size of annotation popovers (a much requested feature).

  type: 'block',
  marks: {
    annotations: [
      {
        type: 'object',
        name: 'link',
        title: 'Link',
        options: {
          // πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡
          modal: {
            type: 'popover',
            width: 'medium' // the default is "small"
          },
          // πŸ‘†πŸ‘†πŸ‘†
        },
      },
    ],
  },
  // ...
  • Fixes a case where the sanity graphql deploy command would not exit after a successful deploy.

Portable Text Editor Input migrated to Sanity UI

Studio v2.22.0

Portable Text Editor Input migrated to Sanity UI

We have now migrated the Portable Text (PT) editor in the Sanity Studio to use Sanity UI. This marks the completion of the migration of the entire Studio to @sanity/ui.

OLD! Portable Text Editor in v2.21.11
NEW! Portable Text Editor in v2.22.0

In addition to the migration:

  • Generally improved stability and performance of the PT editor.
  • Added a new affordance for editing/removing text annotations. This will make it easier to e.g. edit link details.
  • Fixed a bug where undo/redo history was not maintained in memory when collapsing/expanding the editor.

Other features

  • Allows plan selection with sanity init --project-plan <plan>
  • Improves usability of ValidationError by making cloneWithMessage optional

Version released on: November 16, 2021

Bugfix

Studio v2.21.11

Fixes an issue causing sanity exec to crash

Version released on: November 10, 2021

Fixes for the pane and intent resolver

Studio v2.21.10

This release includes a new implementation of our pane and intent resolver that resolves intents deeper in your structure and provides more consistency with getDefaultDocumentNode. The Studio will now do a better job at opening a document within a structure instead of opening it on the root level outside of its usual context.

  • Fixes an issue where creating a new document would open in the fallback editor instead of as a child to the current pane.
  • Fixes an issue where opening a search item from the top search would result in the fallback editor instead of user-defined structure.
  • Fixes inconsistencies with getDefaultDocumentNode where configured views would not appear in the fallback editor.

Other fixes

  • Fixes an issue with GraphQL deploy causing "Error: Cannot find module '@sanity/core/_internal'
  • Support for GROQ query params in patch and delete methods in the client (#1826). Thanks, @KarlGe!

Version released on: October 26, 2021

Fixes match operator bug and corrects Content-Type for /history and /export

Content Lake v2021-10-21

Fixes match operator bug

Up until now, the matchΒ operator has not handled wildcards correctly in some specific situations.

For example, name match "foo.*bar" would be equivalent to foo * bar, because . would be considered a word-splitting character, and so foo.*bar would never match the string foo.bar.

While rare, this also turned out to affect some languages where we would split words incorrectly: "剡傷ケを" match "剡傷ケを*" would return false, but "剡傷ケを" match "剡傷ケを" would return true.

We are now releasing the API version 20211021, which fixes this.

In short, the new algorithm honours Unicode word segmentation rules and considers the wildcard character, *, to be a word character. This fixes the internal tokenization to be consistent.

Correct Content-Type for /history and /export

Previously the /export and /history endpoints was returning Content-Type: text/plain even though they were streaming JSON. After this version they return Content-Type: application/x-ndjson instead.

Fixes a bug where if a space was configured as the default but not the first in the spaces array, the initial studio load would redirect to the correct URL but not configure the client to use the correct dataset.

  • Fixes sluggish UI in the image select dialog when the list contained large GIFs.
  • Fixes image select dialog scrolling to top when loading a new page.

  • Fixes an earlier regression that caused the withDocument higher-order component to pass on the edited document before it was fully loaded.

New GROQ-Powered Webhooks

Webhooks v2021-10-04

A complete revamp of the webhooks API, which allows for sophisticated webhook configuration using GROQ. Read more in the docs, or read the announcement blog post.

Migrating the legacy webhook behavior to GROQ-powered Webhooks

If you need to recreate the previous webhook behavior – triggering on all changes, and on a dataset level rather than document-level – you can do so by following these steps:

  1. Create a webhook set to trigger on create, update and delete
  2. Leave the Filter field empty
  3. Add the following to the Projection field
// webhook projection
{
  "transactionId": "Not supported",
  "projectId": sanity::projectId(),
  "dataset": sanity::dataset(),
  "ids": {
    "created": [
    	select(before() == null && after() != null => _id)
    ],
    "deleted": [
      select(before() != null && after() == null => _id)
    ],
    "updated": [
      select(before() != null && after() != null => _id)
    ],
    "all": [
      _id
    ]
  }
}

You can also click this link to get a template with the settings described above.

Other improvements


In addition to the filter and projection functionality, we’ve made a bunch of other improvements as well:

  • There’s a new UI for webhooks in the management interface and a full RESTful API
  • Webhooks can now be edited after you have created them
  • You can enable and disable webhooks
  • Webhook entries contain more metadata, including name, description, and more
  • You can add custom headers, and specify its HTTP method
  • There’s a new attempts log that makes troubleshooting and testing easier
  • Webhooks support a secret that will be hashed in the request which you can use to authenticate that the request originates from your project
  • We include idempotency keys in the headers, which you can use when syncing data to verify you haven’t received it before
  • Webhook configurations can be shared via URL
  • Webhooks are now guaranteed to include the content changes that caused them
  • Webhooks will now be retried (and are also rate-limited to 60 per second)
  • We also added a `sanity` namespace to GROQ that can be used in projections

GraphQL Date comparison bug fix

GraphQL v2021-09-28

Fixes a bug when trying to filter on a Date type

Version released on: September 28, 2021

styled-component as first-level dependency

Studio v2.19.0

styled-component as a first-level dependency

We've been hard at work migrating the internals of Sanity Studio from CSS modules Sanity UI, which is based on styled-components.

Over the past releases, we've seen a few reported issues where multiple versions of the styled-components dependency could end up in the same studio, causing issues that were hard to understand (sanity is undefined) and would require a full dependency tree reinstall to resolve (rm -rf node_modules && sanity install).

In this version, we're introducing styled-components as a first-level dependency in the studio, in the same way that react and react-dom is.

The first time you run sanity start, sanity build or sanity upgrade after the upgrade, you will be asked to install the dependency - and in non-interactive it will install automatically.

This migration should be seamless for most studios. We anticipate that in certain cases (custom monorepo setups, for instance) it might require manual changes, like adding styled-components as a dependency of the studio.

For a more in-depth look at the rationale behind this change, see the pull request for this change.

Specify API version for CLI query command

The sanity documents query CLI command now has a new flag: --api-version.

This is useful for testing how queries behave in different API versions. For now, the command will still use v1 as the default.

Notable bugfixes

  • Fixes a rare case where an error could be thrown during the React render lifecycle without being an Error instance, which would crash the error boundary

Throw error on invalid image source

Image URL library v1.0.0

Previously, the @sanity/image-url library would return `null` if you passed an invalid source (such as an object without the expected properties, or an invalid image asset ID). From 1.0.0 and onwards, the library will throw when receiving an invalid source. This makes it more obvious when there is invalid data passed to it, as well as ensuring that the function always returns a string (which is a much requested feature for TypeScript users).

Removing warning for new fields in GraphQL schemas

Studio v2.17.2

Removing warning for new fields in GraphQL schemas

If you add schema fields and run sanity graphql deploy you will no longer be warned about β€œdangerous changes.” Previously, our GraphQL validation followed the behavior of graphql.js, which treats added fields as β€œdangerous.” We have had a lot of feedback, that in practice, it has been more bothersome than useful.

πŸ› Notable bugfixes

  • Since v2.16.0, (inline) references in Portable Text would not be saved properly and left an arbitrary attribute. This version fixes that.

Conditional Fields

Studio v2.17.0

A lot of you have been waiting for this for a while: A way to show and hide fields based on the value of some other field. The wait is over! In this release of the Sanity Studio the hidden field has been upgraded to take a callback function.

export default {
 type: 'object',
 name: 'dropdownExample',
 fields: [
   {
     name: 'kind',
     type: 'string',
     options: {list: ['foo', 'bar', 'baz']},

Replace picosanity with full client

next-sanity v0.2.0

The first version of next-sanity shipped with the picosanity client built-in. This caused some confusion for people who wants not only to pull data from their Sanity.io content lake, but also send patches and mutations via API routes. Since picosanity only supported fetching content, it had a smaller bundle size than the full SDK.

This version replaces picosanity with the full client. You can use Next.js' tree shaking to keep the client out of the app bundle or install picosanity if you still prefer to use that.

Version released on: May 13, 2021

v2.10.0

Studio v2.10.0

Initial values for any type

This upgrade extends support for initial values to any field, not just the document type. You can now set initial values on a field that's shared between schema types. It also allows for initial values for fields inside of arrays and the Portable Text editor, which has been a frequent request. Initial values still supports promises if you need to set values from external data sources.

@sanity/ui v0.33.11

Sanity UI v0.33.11

Most changes in this version are improvements and bug fixes behind the scenes – however there are a few new APIs:

New properties

  • Introduced the onItemSelect property ((index: number) => void) to the Menu component props, to make it possible to subscribe to which MenuButton is currently selected.
  • The MenuItem now takes the selected property (boolean) to indicate which item in a Menu should be selected by default.
  • The MenuButton component now takes the popover property (PopoverProps), which is an object containing properties for the Popover component (like arrow, preventOverflow, portal, and so on).
  • The Popover component now takes a matchReferenceWidth property (boolean) to render the popover with same width as the referred element.

Version released on: March 29, 2021

Add support for API versioning

next-sanity v0.11.1

This release upgrades the picosanity dependency that brings support for configuring the client's API version:

Version released on: March 25, 2021

GROQ specification compatibility, introduction of namespaces, and new functions

GROQ v2021-03-25

Content Lake is a full refactor of Sanity's backend and query engine. You can start using it by upgrading and specifying an API version for your client. Content Lake follows the GROQ specification and introduces both bug fixes and new features.

We have updated the documentation to reflect the newest version. This changelog contains the breaking changes and migration paths you need to take. You can take your time and stay on v1 for as long as you need, while you test and compare your queries against the new version. You can also specify the API version for only new queries to gradually move over. Let us know in the community if you have questions or need help.

Breaking changes from v1 to v2021-03-25

Correct parent operator behavior (^)

The GROQ ^ operator now works correctly in all scopes.

This fixes the known issue where the ^ operator only worked in subqueries. In all other scopes, it returned the root of the current scope, instead of the parent scope.

*[_type=="person"]{
  name,
  someObj{
    name,
    // Old Behavior: "parentName" returns someObj.name
    // New Behavior: "parentName" returns root name value
    "parentName": ^.name
  }
}

Consistent handling of true/false/null for equality/comparisons operators

GROQ now uses three-valued logic consistently:

  • >, >=, <, <= returns null when the operands are of different types.
  • &&, || handles null "as expected": null && true β‡’ null and null || true β‡’ true.

Note that == has changed slightly:

  • It now always return either true or false (never null).
  • You can compare against null and get the expected result: 123 == null β‡’ false and null == null β‡’ true.
  • Comparisons between other types than strings/booleans/numbers always return false.

This also means that in works with null: null in foo will return true if foo is [null, 1, 2].

in null always returns null.

Consistent array traversal

We have cleaned up the behavior for array traversal. For example, queries that contained multiple array traversals that don't work in v1, now work as expected in v2021-03-25 and onward.

*["link" in body[].markDefs[]._type]
// v1: No results
// v2021-03-25: An array of documents that has a link annotation in their "body" field

// Data:
[
  {
    "_type": "book",
    "authors": [
      { "names": ["MH", "Holm"] },
      { "names": ["Bob"] },
    ]
  }
]

// Query:
*[_type == "book"].authors[].names

// v1:
[null]

// v2021-03-25:
[
  [
    "MH",
    "Holm",
  ],
  [
    "Bob"
  ]
]

// You can also add an additional `[]` to flatten it completely:

// Query:
*[_type == "book"].authors[].names[]

// v2021-03-25:
[
  "MH",
  "Holm",
  "Bob"
]

Null values are not removed in projections

If you have stored null values in your documents, these are no longer removed in projections.

Override attributes while spreading objects and arrays (...)

You can now override attributes while using the spread operator (...).

// Data
[{"title": "A", "customTitle": "B", "_type": "post"}]

// Query:
*[_type == "post"]{..., "title": customTitle}

// Output from v1: 
[{"title": "A"}]

// Output from v2021-03-25:
[{"title": "B"}]

All numbers are float64

All numbers are now 64-bit floats. Previously we used 64-bit integer representation in certain contexts.

String ordering is more consistent

Previously ordering by strings would in some context use a "smart" numeric ordering instead of proper string comparison:

// Query:
["foo4", "foo12"]|order(@)

// v1:
["foo4", "foo12"]

// v2021-03-25:
["foo12", "foo4"]

// However, *|order(foo) has always (both before and after) used proper string comparison.

Deprecated: The is prefix operator

The is operator has been deprecated. You can use the equivalent comparison instead:

// v1:
*[_type is "post"]

// v2021-03-25:
*[_type == "post"]

Deprecated: Function calls without parentheses

Previously you could call functions without parentheses: *[length "foo" > 3]. This is now no longer possible and is a syntax error. You should use *[length(foo) > 3] instead.

Deprecated: $now and $identity

You can use now() and identity() instead.

Projections only work on objects, and returns null otherwise

Whenever you apply the projection operator ({}) on a non-object then it returns null instead of executing the object expression.

This means that the following query *[foo == bar][0]{a} now correctly returns null if there were no results. Previously this returned {}.

Negative indexes are respected in slicing

Previously negative indexes were not respected: [_type == "article"][-1]Β was equivalent toΒ [_type == "article"][1]. This has now been fixed and -1 returns the last document.

Creating an empty attribute is now an error

The following query now fails: *[_type == "bar" && @[""] == "bar"] since empty attribute keys are not allowed.

order() only works on arrays, and returns null otherwise

Passing | order(…) on non-arrays return a null value instead of converting it to an array.

defined()

defined(x) is now only false when x is null. Previously it was false for empty arrays and objects as well.

Pipe operator works in fewer situations

The pipe operator (|) used to work between nearly all access operators, filters, and slices (e.g., * | [filter], * | (foo), * | [2..4], and * | [2] were all permitted). The pipe operator remains required before the score() and order() pipe functions, and is optional before a projection, but using one before a filter or traversal syntax will throw an error.

New features for GROQ

Namespaces

Namespaces allow for a stronger grouping of functionality within the GROQ specification. They create dedicated spaces for global functions, as well as safer distinctions for specific implementations of GROQ. Learn more.

New functions: score() and boost()

The score() function computes a _score for each document from how well the expression matches the document. The documents will also be sorted by score (from high to low) if no other order() function is specified. Note that all documents will be scored (even those that don't match it at all) so you typically want to add a limit. Read more about scoring and boosting.

Portable Text to plain-text: pt::text()

The pt::text() function takes either a Portable Text block or an array of blocks and returns a string in which blocks are appended with a double newline character (\n\n). Text spans within a block are appended without space or newline. Read more about getting plain text from Portable Text.

New functions for geospatial queries

The geo namespace contains a number of useful functions for creating and querying against locations in your data. Query for distance, intersections, and more.

Performance improvements

Ordering and filtering on date times

It's now possible to filter and order efficiently on date times:

// Filter
*[_type == "post" && dateTime(publishedAt) > dateTime("2021-01-01T12:00:00")]

// Order
*[_type == "post"]|order(dateTime(publishedAt) desc)

Projections on huge documents

If you have huge documents, but your queries have projections that filter away most of the data (e.g., *[_type == "post"]{title, description}) you may see performance improvements.

Expressions with mixed && and ||

Expressions that use both && and || will now often be much faster (depending on how complicated they are).

*[
  _type == "post" &&
  slug == "hello" &&
  ("news" in tags || products[0].name == "Sanity")
]

// v1: Slow!
// v2021-03-25: Much faster!

New GROQ functions and versioning

Content Lake v2021-03-25

This release targeting v2021-03-25 and v2021-10-21 of the Content Lake brings several new function namespaces to GROQ, as well as introduces the first formalized version of the GROQ language specification.

New GROQ functions

There are three new namespaces for functions added to the specification, which have been implemented across all GROQ tooling. These are:

array::Β functions: Perform array operations on lists, such as removing all null values, building text strings from a list of names, or generating a list of all unique document _types.

  • array::compact(<array>) - removes all null values from an array
  • array::join(<array>, <token>) - concatenates all array elements into one string, separated by a specified token.
  • array::unique(<array>) - removes duplicate values from an array (this works for values that can be compared for equality, specifically numbers, strings, booleans, and null, and will not work for values that are arrays or objects)

math::Β functions: Run common mathematical operators on numeric values. For example, you can add the prices across multiple products or return the maximum discount available within a cart of products.

  • math::avg(<array-of-numbers>) - calculates the average value (arithmetic mean) of an array of numbers.
  • math::max(<array-of-numbers>) - returns the largest numeric value of an array of numbers.
  • math::min(<array-of-numbers>) - returns the smallest numeric value of an array of numbers.
  • math::sum(<array-of-numbers>) - calculates the sum of an array of numbers.

string::Β functions: Manipulate text or validate that information matches a given prefix. For example, get a list of the articles that start with β€œHow to” or split a comma-separated string of author names into an array.

  • string::split(<string>, <delimiter-token>) - turns a string into an array of substrings based on a delimiting token.
  • string::startsWith(<string>, <string-pattern>) - checks if a prefix string exactly matches the start of another string.

To learn all about the new GROQ functions, read the developer update accompanying this release, and visit our documentation.

GROQ1.revision1

With this release, we are also pleased to announce the formal language specification of GROQ, as well as a new versioning scheme. Taking inspiration from other well-known language specs, like HTML and SQL, we settled on the following format:

GROQ-<major version #>.revision<#>

The current version of the specification is GROQ-1.revision1. This version does not include any breaking changes. To learn more about the history and future of the GROQ language, read the blog post from Co-founder and CTO Simen Svale Skogsrud: Content is Queryable: (Re)Introducing GROQ.

GraphQL generation 3 schema

GraphQL v2020-12-07

Breaking changes between gen2 and gen3

The third generation of the GraphQL API adds support for querying all documents through the new allDocument type. However, with a new generation comes breaking changes.

We had to rename a type to avoid conflicts. DocumentFilter has been renamed to Sanity_DocumentFilter. In other words, if you for example have a query like this:

query GetAllUser($docFilter: Sanity_DocumentFilter) {
  allUser(_: $docFilter) {
    _id
  }
}

It should now look like this in gen3:

query GetAllUser($docFilter: DocumentFilter) {
  allUser(_: $docFilter) {
    _id
    
  }

GraphQL Generation 2 schema

GraphQL v2020-02-27

Deploying generation 1

In order to use the old beta version of the GraphQL API, you can specify it when running the GraphQL command from the CLI. We call these older versions generations. The beta generation is named gen1, and the current generation is named gen2.

To deploy the old generation (beta), you can use the --generation flag in the CLI like this:

sanity graphql deploy --generation gen1

Breaking changes between gen1 and gen2

The second generation of the GraphQL API has more features, and does not pluralize the top-level collection types:

  • Generation 1: post, allPosts
  • Generation 2: post, allPost

The CLI will warn you if there are breaking changes to the schema you deploy and show you where they are. The breaking changes prompt can be disabled by running the deploy command with the --force flag.
