Sanity Type Generator

Warning This tool isn't quite ready to use yet.

Sanity Type Generator generates TypeScript types for Sanity Studio v3 schemas.

Run the sanity-type-generator command in the root of your Studio project to begin.

npx sanity-type-generator

A TypeScript file will be generated for each Studio workspace. By default, generated type files are written to the types directory. The output directory will be created automatically if it doesn't exist.

Sanity Type Generator will ask you to confirm before any files are overwritten, unless the --force (-f) flag is used.

Required fields

By default, Sanity Type Generator assumes fields are not required. To express that a field is required, set the typegen.required option to true in its schema definition.

There are many ways to make a field required in Sanity Studio. Rather than attempt to detect whether a field is required, Sanity Type Generator expects this to be expressed explicitly in the field options.

defineField({
  name: 'name',
  title: 'Name',
  type: 'string',
  typegen: {
    required: true,
  },
})

Add the following module declaration to enable TypeScript support for the typegen option:

import { FieldOptions } from 'sanity-type-generator'

declare module 'sanity' {
  export interface FieldDefinitionBase extends FieldOptions {}
}
