Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

@sanity/visual-editing

npm stat npm version gzip size size

This package is used with the Presentation tool in the Sanity Studio to create clickable elements to take editors right from previews to the document and field they want to edit.

Getting started

npm install @sanity/visual-editing react react-dom

Table of contents

Usage

Plain JS

import {enableVisualEditing} from '@sanity/visual-editing'

// Enables visual editing overlays
enableVisualEditing()

// Integrate with a router that uses the History API
enableVisualEditing({
  history: {
    subscribe: (navigate) => {
      const handler = (event: PopStateEvent) => {
        navigate({
          type: 'push',
          url: `${location.pathname}${location.search}`,
        })
      }
      window.addEventListener('popstate', handler)
      return () => window.removeEventListener('popstate', handler)
    },
    update: (update) => {
      switch (update.type) {
        case 'push':
          return window.history.pushState(null, '', update.url)
        case 'pop':
          return window.history.back()
        case 'replace':
          return window.history.replaceState(null, '', update.url)
        default:
          throw new Error(`Unknown update type: ${update.type}`)
      }
    },
  },
})

Next.js

If you're using Next v13 or later you can use first class components that integrate with the router. Depending on which router you're using you may use either, or both, of the following components.

App Router

For App Router you should use the VisualEditing component from next-sanity:

npm i next-sanity

In your root layout.tsx, assuming you're using Draft Mode to toggle when to enable Visual Editing, add the VisualEditing component:

import {VisualEditing} from 'next-sanity'
import {draftMode} from 'next/headers'

export default function RootLayout({children}: {children: React.ReactNode}) {
  return (
    <html lang="en">
      <body>
        {children}
        {draftMode().isEnabled && (
          <VisualEditing
            zIndex={1000} // Optional
          />
        )}
      </body>
    </html>
  )
}

Pages Router

For Pages Router you should use the VisualEditing from @sanity/visual-editing/next-pages-router. Assuming you're using Draft Mode or Preview Mode to toggle when to enable Visual Editing, add the VisualEditing component to your _app.tsx:

import {VisualEditing} from '@sanity/visual-editing/next-pages-router'
import type {AppProps} from 'next/app'
import {useRouter} from 'next/router'

export default function App({Component, pageProps}: AppProps) {
  const {isPreview} = useRouter()
  // A common alternative pattern to `isPreview` and `useRouter` is to pass down the draftMode/preview from getStaticProps/getServerSideProps/getInitialProps
  // const { draftMode } = pageProps
  return (
    <>
      <Component {...pageProps} />
      {isPreview && (
        <VisualEditing
          zIndex={1000} // Optional
        />
      )}
    </>
  )
}

Remix

For Remix apps you should use VisualEditing from @sanity/visual-editing/remix in your app/root.tsx:

import {json} from '@remix-run/node'
import {Links, Meta, Outlet, Scripts, ScrollRestoration, useLoaderData} from '@remix-run/react'
import {VisualEditing} from '@sanity/visual-editing/remix'

export const loader = () => {
  return json({
    ENV: {
      SANITY_VISUAL_EDITING_ENABLED: process.env.SANITY_VISUAL_EDITING_ENABLED === 'true',
    },
  })
}

export default function App() {
  const {ENV} = useLoaderData<typeof loader>()

  return (
    <html lang="en">
      <head>
        <meta charSet="utf-8" />
        <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,initial-scale=1" />
        <Meta />
        <Links />
      </head>
      <body>
        <main>
          <Outlet />
        </main>
        {ENV.SANITY_VISUAL_EDITING_ENABLED && (
          <VisualEditing
            zIndex={1000} // Optional
          />
        )}
        <ScrollRestoration />
        <Scripts />
      </body>
    </html>
  )
}

React.js

On React apps that don't have a first-class framework integration may use the enableVisualEditing function directly in a useEffect hook.

import { enableVisualEditing } from '@sanity/visual-editing'
import { useEffect } from 'react'

export default function VisualEditing() {
  useEffect(() => {
    const disable = enableVisualEditing({
      history: {} // recommended, integrate your router here so it works with the URL bar in Presentation
      zIndex: 1000, // optional
    })
    return () => disable()
  }, [])

  return null
}

Refresh API

The refresh API is complimentary to the Loaders and Preview Kit APIs. It's used to refresh the page when the user has made changes to the document in the Studio and wants to see the changes reflected in the preview or when clicking on the "Refresh" button in the Presentation Tool UI. For some frameworks, like Next.js App Router, Remix and soon SvelteKit, there's first-class implementations of the refresh API that does what you want out of the box, while still allowing you to customize it if you need to.

  • When to use:
    • When you're using a framework that has a refresh API that provides a better experience than a full page reload.
    • You have data fetching used in your app that it's either impractical or too costly to refactor to use Loaders or Preview Kit.
    • You have other data fetching than Content Lake GROQ queries, for example GraphQL or REST APIs that you want to refresh.
  • When not to use
    • If you're using a framework without a first-class refresh API.
    • You're already using Loaders or Preview Kit for all your data fetching.

The TypeScript signature for the API is:

interface VisualEditingOptions {
  refresh?: (payload: HistoryRefresh) => false | Promise<void>
}
type HistoryRefresh =
  | {
      source: 'manual'
      livePreviewEnabled: boolean
    }
  | {
      source: 'mutation'
      livePreviewEnabled: boolean
      document: {
        _id: string
        _type: string
        _rev: string
        slug?: {
          current?: string | null
        }
      }
    }

Returning false will trigger the default behavior, which is different depending on the source and livePreviewEnabled state. Returning a Promise will report to Presentation Tool that a refresh is happening and will show a loading UI while the Promise is pending.

Plain JS

source: 'manual'

It's fired when the user clicks on the "Refresh" button in the Presentation Tool. The default behavior is effectively the same as window.location.reload().

source: 'mutation'

The default behavior is to return false, as we can't make any assumptions of what the default behavior should be for your app if we don't know what framework you're using.

The payload will contain livePreviewEnabled and document properties. livePreviewEnabled is true if either Loaders are detected to be setup in Live Mode, or if Preview Kit is enabled. It allows you to chose a reload strategy based on wether the route you're on has live preview functionality or not, allowing you to incrementally adopt Loaders or Preview Kit without having to refactor all your data fetching at once.

The document part of the payload contains the _id, _type, _rev and slug properties of the document that was changed in the Studio. Depending on your app, you may want to use this information to decide if you want to refresh the page or not as well as which API to use.

Next.js App Router

[!NOTE] There's no default refresh API for Pages Router, as it doesn't have a first-class refresh API like App Router or Remix. But you can still use the refresh option to implement your own refresh logic by using the refresh prop on the <VisualEditing /> component provided by @sanity/visual-editing/next-pages-router.

For App Router you should use the VisualEditing component from next-sanity:

npm i next-sanity

The implementation makes use of Server Actions, here's the default internal implementation (simplified):

// app/layout.tsx
import {VisualEditing} from 'next-sanity'
import {revalidatePath, revalidateTag} from 'next/cache'
import {draftMode} from 'next/headers'

export default function RootLayout({children}: {children: React.ReactNode}) {
  return (
    <html lang="en">
      <head />
      <body>
        {children}
        {draftMode().isEnabled && (
          <VisualEditing
            refresh={async (payload) => {
              'use server'
              // Guard against a bad actor attempting to revalidate the page
              if (!draftMode().isEnabled) {
                return
              }
              if (payload.source === 'manual') {
                await revalidatePath('/', 'layout')
              }
              // Only revalidate on mutations if the route doesn't have loaders or preview-kit
              if (payload.source === 'mutation' && !payload.livePreviewEnabled) {
                await revalidatePath('/', 'layout')
              }
            }}
          />
        )}
      </body>
    </html>
  )
}

source: 'manual'

If your application is using revalidateTag then it's common to add the tag all to all data fetches. If you follow this pattern then you can reduce the impact of a manual refresh by using it here as well:

<VisualEditing
  refresh={async (payload) => {
    'use server'
    // Guard against a bad actor attempting to revalidate the page
    if (!draftMode().isEnabled) {
      return
    }
    if (payload.source === 'manual') {
      await revalidateTag('all')
    }
  }}
/>

source: 'mutation'

If you're using revalidateTag, [and the GROQ webhook pattern][https://github.com/sanity-io/next-sanity#tag-based-revalidation-webhook], then you can reuse it here on route level as well:

<VisualEditing
  refresh={async (payload) => {
    'use server'
    // Guard against a bad actor attempting to revalidate the page
    if (!draftMode().isEnabled) {
      return
    }
    if (payload.source === 'manual') {
      await revalidateTag('all')
    }
    if (payload.source === 'mutation') {
      // Call `revalidateTag` in the same way as ./app/api/revalidate/route.ts
      await revalidateTag(payload.document._type)
    }
  }}
/>

You can use payload.livePreviewEnabled and payload.document to better target scenarios where you want to revalidateTag or when it may already be handled by a useQuery hook from @sanity/react-loader already, or a useLiveQuery hook from next-sanity/preview or @sanity/preview-kit.

Remix

For Remix apps the implementation is much like the one for Next.js App Router when it comes to what happens depending on the source and livePreviewEnabled properties of the payload.

Remix doesn't have Server Actions yet, under the hood the useRevalidator hook is used. Here's the default internal implementation (simplified):

// app/root.tsx
import {useRevalidator} from '@remix-run/react'
import {VisualEditing} from '@sanity/visual-editing/remix'

export default function App() {
  const {ENV} = useLoaderData<typeof loader>()
  const revalidator = useRevalidator()

  return (
    <html lang="en">
      <body>
        <Outlet />
        {ENV.SANITY_VISUAL_EDITING_ENABLED && (
          <VisualEditing
            refresh={(payload) => {
              if (payload.source === 'manual') {
                revalidator.revalidate()
              }
              if (payload.source === 'mutation' && !payload.livePreviewEnabled) {
                revalidator.revalidate()
              }
            }}
          />
        )}
      </body>
    </html>
  )
}

If you only want to configure when revalidation is called, and not the actual implementation, then you can call the refreshDefault function so you don't have to handle useRevalidator and its loading states yourself.

<VisualEditing
  refresh={(payload, refreshDefault) => {
    if (payload.source === 'manual') {
      return refreshDefault()
    }
    // Always revalidate on mutations for document types that are used for MetaFunctions that render in <head />
    if (payload.source === 'mutation' && payload.document._type === 'settings') {
      return refreshDefault()
    }
  }}
/>

SvelteKit

A first class implementation for SvelteKit is coming soon.

Manually configuring "Edit in Sanity Studio" elements

data-sanity-edit-target

You can choose which element to render the "Edit in Sanity Studio" buttons on by adding a data-sanity-edit-target attribute to the element you want to be clickable. This allows you to move the edit container to a parent wrapper element.

In this example, by default the edit button would be placed on the <h1> tag

<section>
  <h1>{dynamicTitle}</h1>
  <div>Hardcoded Tagline</div>
</section>

But by adding the data-sanity-edit-target attribute to the <section> tag, the edit button will be placed on it instead.

<section data-sanity-edit-target>
  <h1>{dynamicTitle}</h1>
  <div>Hardcoded Tagline</div>
</section>

Manually setting the edit target will use the first element it finds with encoded metadata and remove clickable buttons from all other child elements.

Change the z-index of overlay elements

enableVisualEditing({
  zIndex: 1000,
})
