Quick start

# Initialize a new plugin (outside of your Sanity studio folder)
npx sanipack init sanity-plugin-spotify

# Make your plugin linkable, and compile an initial version
cd sanity-plugin-spotify
npm link
npm run build

# Link the plugin to your Sanity studio and start it
cd /path/to/my-studio
npm link sanity-plugin-spotify
sanity start

# In another terminal, start a watch task for your plugin
cd /path/to/sanity-plugin-spotify
npm run watch

    # (great for pre-publish step!)
    $ sanipack verify

Use the --help flag on each command for more information on their usage, eg sanipack build --help.

Publishing a plugin

Note: If you're writing a plugin that is only useful for yourself or your company, you might want to either put the plugin inside of the plugins folder of your Sanity studio (saves you from having to publish at all), or if shared across multiple "private" studios: register an organization on npm and make sure your module is prefixed with the organization scope, eg @your-company/plugin-name.

Also; you cannot easily remove modules/versions from npm once published. Take a good look at your package.json to see that the fields in there makes sense to you, and make sure there are no "secrets" (authorization tokens, API keys or similar) in the plugin directory - anything not listed in .npmignore will be part of the published module.

When you're ready to publish, run npm publish (or yarn publish if you prefer). The prepublishOnly task should kick in and compile the source files, then verify the built output to ensure it looks good.

If you have not published any modules to npm before, you will be asked to create a user first.

FAQ

Q: Do I have to use this for developing Sanity plugins?

A: Absolutely not! Make sure your Sanity plugin is ES5-compatible and that your sanity.json file and any references parts refer to the right directories, and you're good to go. This package was created to make it easier to set up the build toolchain and prevent common mistakes. If you know what you're doing and don't like any magic, roll your own thing! :)
