Quick Start

Basic Configuration

For image optimization features:

import { ApplicationConfig } from '@angular/core';
import { provideSanity } from '@limitless-angular/sanity';

export const appConfig: ApplicationConfig = {
  providers: [
    provideSanity({
      projectId: 'your-project-id',
      dataset: 'your-dataset',
    }),
  ],
};

Preview Kit & Visual Editing Configuration

For preview and visual editing features, use the client factory approach:

import { provideSanity, withLivePreview } from '@limitless-angular/sanity';
import { createClient } from '@sanity/client';

const client = createClient({
  projectId: 'your-project-id',
  dataset: 'your-dataset',
  apiVersion: 'YYYY-MM-DD',
  useCdn: true,
});

const getClientFactory = (preview?: { token: string }) =>
  preview?.token
    ? client.withConfig({
        token: preview.token,
        useCdn: false,
        ignoreBrowserTokenWarning: true,
        perspective: 'drafts',
        stega: {
          enabled: true,
          studioUrl: 'your-studio-url',
        },
      })
    : client;

export const appConfig: ApplicationConfig = {
  providers: [provideSanity(getClientFactory, withLivePreview())],
};

Features

Portable Text

Render Portable Text with Angular.

@Component({
  standalone: true,
  imports: [PortableTextComponent],
  template: `<div portable-text [value]="content" [components]="components"></div>`,
})
export class ContentComponent {
  content = [
    /* your portable text content */
  ];
  components: PortableTextComponents = {
    // Custom components configuration
  };
}

📚 Portable Text Documentation

Image Handling

Powerful features for working with Sanity images in Angular applications:

@Component({
  standalone: true,
  imports: [SanityImage],
  template: `
    <img
      [sanityImage]="imageRef"
      width="800"
      height="600"
      [alt]="imageRef.alt"
    />
  `,
})

📚 Image Loader Documentation

Preview Kit

The Preview Kit provides real-time preview capabilities for Sanity content in Angular applications, enabling live updates of content as it's being edited in the Sanity Studio:

import { LiveQueryProviderComponent } from '@limitless-angular/sanity/preview-kit';

@Component({
  standalone: true,
  imports: [LiveQueryProviderComponent],
  template: `
    @if (draftMode()) {
      <live-query-provider [token]="token">
        <router-outlet />
      </live-query-provider>
    } @else {
      <router-outlet />
    }
  `,
})
export class AppComponent {
  draftMode = signal(false);
  token = signal('your-preview-token');
}

📚 Preview Kit Documentation

Visual Editing

The Visual Editing feature allows editors to click elements in your preview to navigate directly to the corresponding document and field in Sanity Studio.

@Component({
  standalone: true,
  imports: [VisualEditingComponent],
  template: `
    <main>
      <router-outlet />
      @if (draftMode()) {
        <visual-editing />
      }
    </main>
  `,
})
export class AppComponent {}

📚 Visual Editing Documentation

Analog Blog Studio

The Analog blog example can be edited inside a first-class Sanity Studio through Presentation. The shared blog contract lives in the source-only @limitless-angular/analog-sanity-blog workspace package, so the Analog app and Studio import the same schemas, GROQ queries, Presentation routes, and Studio structure without adding another build artifact.

pnpm blog:setup
pnpm blog:dev

Open http://localhost:3333/presentation after both dev servers start.

After changing blog schemas or GROQ queries, regenerate the frontend query types:

pnpm blog:typegen
