Migrating tools

Custom tools in v2 were extended from the part:@sanity/base/tool part:

// sanity.json
{
  "root": true,
  "project": {
    "name": "My Project"
  },
  // ...
  "parts": [
    {
      "implements": "part:@sanity/base/tool",
      "path": "./tools/myTool"
    },
    // you could implement the part more than once
    {
      "implements": "part:@sanity/base/tool",
      "path": "./tools/myOtherTool"
    }
  ]
}

import React from 'react'

function MyTool() {
  return <>{my tool}</>
}

// ./tools/myTool
export default {
  title: 'My Tool',
  name: 'my-tool',
  component: MyTool,
}

In Studio v3, using the new Config API you declare your custom tools on the root property tools on the configuration object:

// sanity.config.ts
import {defineConfig} from 'sanity'
import MyTool from './MyTool'
import MyOtherTool from './MyOtherTool'

export default defineConfig({
  name: 'default',
  title: 'My Cool Project',
  projectId: 'my-project-id',
  dataset: 'production',
  tools: [
    {name: 'my-tool', title: 'My Tool', component: MyTool},
    {name: 'tool-2', title: '2nd Tool', component: MyOtherTool},
  ],
})

// sanity.config.ts
import {defineConfig} from 'sanity'
import MyAdminTool from './MyAdminTool'

export default defineConfig({
  name: 'default',
  title: 'My Cool Project',
  projectId: 'my-project-id',
  dataset: 'production',
  // could also utilize the function variant for conditionals 😎
  tools: (prev, {currentUser}) => {
    if (currentUser.roles.find((r) => r.name === 'admin')) {
      return [
				...prev,
				{name: 'admin', title: 'Admin', component: MyAdminTool},
			]
    }

		return prev
  },
})
