What are @sanity/client's main functionalities?

Fetching Documents

This feature allows you to fetch documents from your Sanity dataset using GROQ queries. The example fetches all documents of type 'post'.

const sanityClient = require('@sanity/client');
const client = sanityClient({
  projectId: 'yourProjectId',
  dataset: 'yourDataset',
  useCdn: true
});

client.fetch('*[_type == "post"]').then(posts => {
  console.log(posts);
});

Creating Documents

This feature allows you to create new documents in your Sanity dataset. The example creates a new document of type 'post' with a title and body.

const sanityClient = require('@sanity/client');
const client = sanityClient({
  projectId: 'yourProjectId',
  dataset: 'yourDataset',
  useCdn: false
});

client.create({
  _type: 'post',
  title: 'Hello World',
  body: 'This is my first post!'
}).then(response => {
  console.log('Document created:', response);
});

Updating Documents

This feature allows you to update existing documents in your Sanity dataset. The example updates the title of a document with a specific ID.

const sanityClient = require('@sanity/client');
const client = sanityClient({
  projectId: 'yourProjectId',
  dataset: 'yourDataset',
  useCdn: false
});

client.patch('documentId')
  .set({ title: 'Updated Title' })
  .commit()
  .then(updatedDocument => {
    console.log('Document updated:', updatedDocument);
  });

Deleting Documents

This feature allows you to delete documents from your Sanity dataset. The example deletes a document with a specific ID.

const sanityClient = require('@sanity/client');
const client = sanityClient({
  projectId: 'yourProjectId',
  dataset: 'yourDataset',
  useCdn: false
});

client.delete('documentId').then(response => {
  console.log('Document deleted:', response);
});
