Sanity Asset Source Plugin: Unsplash

What is it?

Search for photos on Unsplash and add them to your project right inside Sanity Studio.

Unsplash image selector

Installation

npm install --save sanity-plugin-asset-source-unsplash

or

yarn add sanity-plugin-asset-source-unsplash

Usage

Add it as a plugin in sanity.config.ts (or .js):

import {unsplashImageAsset} from 'sanity-plugin-asset-source-unsplash'

export default defineConfig({
  // ...
  plugins: [unsplashImageAsset()],
})

This will add unsplashAssetSource to all image-fields in Sanity Studio

Manually configure asset sources

If you need to configure when Unsplash should be available as an asset source, filter it out as needed in form.image.assetSources:

import {unsplashImageAsset, unsplashAssetSource} from 'sanity-plugin-asset-source-unsplash'

export default defineConfig({
  // ...
  plugins: [unsplashImageAsset()],
  form: {
    image: {
      assetSources: (previousAssetSources, {schema}) => {
        if (schema.name === 'movie-image') {
          // remove unsplash from movie-image types
          return previousAssetSources.filter((assetSource) => assetSource !== unsplashAssetSource)
        }
        return previousAssetSources
      },
    },
  },
})
