Schema Type Definitions

This feature allows you to define the structure of your content types in a strongly-typed manner. The code sample demonstrates how to define a simple schema with a document type 'post' that has a 'title' field of type 'string'.

const schema: Schema = { name: 'mySchema', types: [{ name: 'post', type: 'document', fields: [{ name: 'title', type: 'string' }] }] };

Document Type Definitions

This feature provides type definitions for documents stored in Sanity. The code sample shows how to define a document of type 'post' with an ID and a title.

const post: SanityDocument = { _id: 'post1', _type: 'post', title: 'Hello World' };

Field Type Definitions

This feature allows you to define individual fields within your content types. The code sample demonstrates how to define a 'title' field of type 'string'.

const titleField: StringField = { name: 'title', type: 'string' };
