sanity-plugin-user-select-input

This is a Sanity Studio v3 plugin

Adds a searchable dropdown for all users on the project, and stores their User ID as a string field.

Note: Think of the string as a weak reference. Users can be removed from the project without first checking if their ID is used in any Document. And once removed their ID will remain stored as the field value.

This is not a replacement for creating your schema types like staff, author, profile, person etc. It's useful for using a single field to link a document to a user. For example a field like brief, task, reviewer etc.

Installation

npm install sanity-plugin-user-select-input

Usage

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

// ./sanity.config.ts

import {defineConfig} from 'sanity'
import {userSelect} from 'sanity-plugin-user-select-input'

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

Add a userSelect type field to any document type. It will act like a string field and so can be extended such as using validation rules such as required.

defineField({
  name: 'userId',
  type: 'userSelect',
}),
