PHP library for the Sanity API

Requirements

sanity-php requires PHP >= 5.6, with the json module installed.

Composer

You can install the library via Composer. Run the following command:

composer require sanity/sanity-php

To use the library, use Composer's autoload:

require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

Usage

Instantiating a new client

use Sanity\Client as SanityClient;

$client = new SanityClient([
  'projectId' => 'your-project-id',
  'dataset' => 'your-dataset-name',
  // Whether or not to use the API CDN for queries. Default is false.
  'useCdn' => true,
  // If you are starting a new project, using the current UTC date is usually
  // a good idea. See "Specifying API version" section for more details
  'apiVersion' => '2019-01-29',
]);

Using an authorization token

$client = new SanityClient([
  'projectId' => 'your-project-id',
  'dataset' => 'your-dataset-name',
  'useCdn' => false,
  'apiVersion' => '2019-01-29',
  // Note that you cannot combine a token with the `useCdn` option set to true,
  // as authenticated requests cannot be cached
  'token' => 'sanity-auth-token',
]);

Specifying API version

Sanity uses ISO dates (YYYY-MM-DD) in UTC timezone for versioning. The explanation for this can be found in the documentation

In general, unless you know what API version you want to use, you'll want to set it to todays UTC date. By doing this, you'll get all the latest bugfixes and features, while preventing any timezone confusion and locking the API to prevent breaking changes.

Note: Do not be tempted to use a dynamic value for the apiVersion. The whole reason for setting a static value is to prevent unexpected, breaking changes.

In future versions, specifying an API version will be required. For now, to maintain backwards compatiblity, not specifying a version will trigger a deprecation warning and fall back to using v1.

Fetch a single document by ID

$document = $client->getDocument('someDocumentId');

Performing queries

$results = $client->fetch(
  '*[_type == $type][0...3]', // Query
  ['type' => 'product'] // Params (optional)
);

foreach ($product in $results) {
  echo $product['title'] . '\n';
}

See the query documentation for more information on how to write queries.

Using perspectives

The perspective option can be used to specify special filtering behavior for queries. The default value is raw, which means no special filtering is applied, while published and previewDrafts can be used to optimize for specific use cases.

published

Useful for when you want to be sure that draft documents are not returned in production. Pairs well with private datasets.

With a dataset that looks like this:

[
  {
    "_type": "author",
    "_id": "ecfef291-60f0-4609-bbfc-263d11a48c43",
    "name": "George Martin"
  },
  {
    "_type": "author",
    "_id": "drafts.ecfef291-60f0-4609-bbfc-263d11a48c43",
    "name": "George R.R. Martin"
  },
  {
    "_type": "author",
    "_id": "drafts.f4898efe-92c4-4dc0-9c8c-f7480aef17e2",
    "name": "Stephen King"
  }
]

And a query like this:

$client = new SanityClient([
  // ...config...
  'useCdn' => true,
  'perspective' => 'published',
]);

$authors = $client->fetch('*[_type == "author"]');

Then $authors will only contain documents that don't have a drafts. prefix in their _id, in this case just "George Martin":

[
  {
    "_type": "author",
    "_id": "ecfef291-60f0-4609-bbfc-263d11a48c43",
    "name": "George Martin"
  }
]

previewDrafts

Designed to help answer the question "What is our app going to look like after all the draft documents are published?".

Given a dataset like this:

[
  {
    "_type": "author",
    "_id": "ecfef291-60f0-4609-bbfc-263d11a48c43",
    "name": "George Martin"
  },
  {
    "_type": "author",
    "_id": "drafts.ecfef291-60f0-4609-bbfc-263d11a48c43",
    "name": "George R.R. Martin"
  },
  {
    "_type": "author",
    "_id": "drafts.f4898efe-92c4-4dc0-9c8c-f7480aef17e2",
    "name": "Stephen King"
  },
  {
    "_type": "author",
    "_id": "6b3792d2-a9e8-4c79-9982-c7e89f2d1e75",
    "name": "Terry Pratchett"
  }
]

And a query like this:

$client = new SanityClient([
  // ...config...
  'useCdn' => false, // the `previewDrafts` perspective requires this to be `false`
  'perspective' => 'previewDrafts',
]);

$authors = $client->fetch('*[_type == "author"]');

Then authors will look like this. Note that the result dedupes documents with a preference for the draft version:

[
  {
    "_type": "author",
    "_id": "ecfef291-60f0-4609-bbfc-263d11a48c43",
    "_originalId": "drafts.ecfef291-60f0-4609-bbfc-263d11a48c43",
    "name": "George R.R. Martin"
  },
  {
    "_type": "author",
    "_id": "f4898efe-92c4-4dc0-9c8c-f7480aef17e2",
    "_originalId": "drafts.f4898efe-92c4-4dc0-9c8c-f7480aef17e2",
    "name": "Stephen King"
  },
  {
    "_type": "author",
    "_id": "6b3792d2-a9e8-4c79-9982-c7e89f2d1e75",
    "_originalId": "6b3792d2-a9e8-4c79-9982-c7e89f2d1e75",
    "name": "Terry Pratchett"
  }
]

Since the query simulates what the result will be after publishing the drafts, the _id doesn't contain the drafts. prefix. If you want to check if a document is a draft or not you can use the _originalId field, which is only available when using the previewDrafts perspective.

$authors = $client->fetch('*[_type == "author"]{..., "status": select(
  _originalId in path("drafts.**") => "draft",
  "published"
)}');

Which changes the result to be:

[
  {
    "_type": "author",
    "_id": "ecfef291-60f0-4609-bbfc-263d11a48c43",
    "_originalId": "drafts.ecfef291-60f0-4609-bbfc-263d11a48c43",
    "name": "George R.R. Martin",
    "status": "draft"
  },
  {
    "_type": "author",
    "_id": "f4898efe-92c4-4dc0-9c8c-f7480aef17e2",
    "_originalId": "f4898efe-92c4-4dc0-9c8c-f7480aef17e2",
    "name": "Stephen King",
    "status": "published"
  }
]

Creating documents

$doc = [
  '_type' => 'bike',
  'name'  => 'Bengler Tandem Extraordinaire',
  'seats' => 2,
];

$newDocument = $client->create($doc);
echo 'Bike was created, document ID is ' . $newDocument['_id'];

This creates a new document with the given properties. It must contain a _type attribute, and may contain a _id attribute. If an ID is specified and a document with that ID already exist, the mutation will fail. If an ID is not specified, it will be auto-generated and is included in the returned document.

Creating a document (if it does not exist)

As noted above, if you include an _id property when calling create() and a document with this ID already exists, it will fail. If you instead want to ignore the create operation if it exists, you can use createIfNotExists(). It takes the same arguments as create(), the only difference being that it requires an _id attribute.

$doc = [
  '_id'   => 'my-document-id',
  '_type' => 'bike',
  'name'  => 'Amazing bike',
  'seats' => 3,
];

$newDocument = $client->createIfNotExists($doc);

Replacing a document

If you don't care whether or not a document exists already and just want to replace it, you can use the createOrReplace() method.

$doc = [
  '_id'   => 'my-document-id',
  '_type' => 'bike',
  'name'  => 'Amazing bike',
  'seats' => 3,
];

$newDocument = $client->createOrReplace($doc);

Patch/update a document

use Sanity\Exception\BaseException;

try {
  $updatedBike = $client
    ->patch('bike-123') // Document ID to patch
    ->set(['inStock' => false]) // Shallow merge
    ->inc(['numSold' => 1]) // Increment field by count
    ->commit(); // Perform the patch and return the modified document
} catch (BaseException $error) {
  echo 'Oh no, the update failed: ';
  var_dump($error);
}

Todo: Document all patch operations

Delete a document

use Sanity\Exception\BaseException;

try {
  $client->delete('bike-123');
} catch (BaseException $error) {
  echo 'Delete failed: ';
  var_dump($error);
}

Multiple mutations in a transaction

$namePatch = $client->patch('bike-310')->set(['name' => 'A Bike To Go']);

try {
  $client->transaction()
    ->create(['name' => 'Bengler Tandem Extraordinaire', 'seats' => 2])
    ->delete('bike-123')
    ->patch($namePatch)
    ->commit();

  echo 'A whole lot of stuff just happened!';
} catch (BaseException $error) {
  echo 'Transaction failed:';
  var_dump($error);
}

Clientless patches & transactions

use Sanity\Patch;
use Sanity\Transaction;

// Patches:
$patch = new Patch('<documentId>');
$patch->inc(['count' => 1])->unset(['visits']);
$client->mutate($patch);

// Transactions:
$transaction = new Transaction();
$transaction
  ->create(['_id' => '123', 'name' => 'FooBike'])
  ->delete('someDocId');

$client->mutate($transaction);

An important note on this approach is that you cannot call commit() on transactions or patches instantiated this way, instead you have to pass them to client.mutate().

Upload an image asset (from local file)

$asset = $client->uploadAssetFromFile('image', '/some/path/to/image.png');
echo $asset['_id'];

Upload an image asset (from a string)

$image = file_get_contents('/some/path/to/image.png');
$asset = $client->uploadAssetFromString('image', $buffer, [
    // Will be set in the `originalFilename` property on the image asset
    // The filename in the URL will still be a hash
    'filename' => 'magnificent-bridge.png'
]);
echo $asset['_id'];

Upload image, extract exif and palette data

$asset = $client->uploadAssetFromFile('image', '/some/path/to/image.png', [
    'extract' => ['exif', 'palette']
]);

var_dump($asset['metadata']);

Upload a file asset (from local file)

$asset = $client->uploadAssetFromFile('file', '/path/to/raspberry-pi-specs.pdf', [
    // Including a mime type is not _required_ but strongly recommended
    'contentType' => 'application/pdf'
]);
echo $asset['_id'];

Upload a file asset (from a string)

$image = file_get_contents('/path/to/app-release.apk');
$asset = $client->uploadAssetFromString('file', $buffer, [
    // Will be set in the `originalFilename` property on the image asset
    // The filename in the URL will still be a hash
    'filename' => 'dog-walker-pro-v1.4.33.apk',
    // Including a mime type is not _required_ but strongly recommended
    'contentType' => 'application/vnd.android.package-archive'
]);
echo $asset['_id'];

Referencing an uploaded image/file

// Create a new document with the referenced image in the "image" field:
$asset = $client->uploadAssetFromFile('image', '/some/path/to/image.png');
$document = $client->create([
    '_type' => 'blogPost',
    'image' => [
        '_type' => 'image',
        'asset' => ['_ref' => $asset['_id']]
    ]
]);
echo $document['_id'];

// Patch existing document, setting the `heroImage` field
$asset = $client->uploadAssetFromFile('image', '/some/path/to/image.png');
$updatedBike = $client
    ->patch('bike-123') // Document ID to patch
    ->set([
        'heroImage' => [
            '_type' => 'image',
            'asset' => ['_ref' => $asset['_id']]
        ]
    ])
    ->commit();

Upload image and append to array

$asset = $client->uploadAssetFromFile('image', '/some/path/to/image.png');
$updatedHotel = $client
    ->patch('hotel-coconut-lounge') // Document ID to patch
    ->setIfMissing(['roomPhotos' => []]) // Ensure we have an array to append to
    ->append('roomPhotos', [
        [
            '_type' => 'image',
            '_key' => bin2hex(random_bytes(5)),
            'asset' => ['_ref' => $image['_id']]
        ]
    ])
    ->commit();

Get client configuration

$config = $client->config();
echo $config['dataset'];

Set client configuration

$client->config(['dataset' => 'newDataset']);

The new configuration will be merged with the existing, so you only need to pass the options you want to modify.

Rendering block content

When you use the block editor in Sanity, it produces a structured array structure that you can use to render the content on any platform you might want. In PHP, a common output format is HTML. To make the transformation from the array structure to HTML simpler, we include a helper class for this within the library.

If your content only contains the basic, built-in block types, you can get rendered HTML like this:

use Sanity\BlockContent;

$document = $client->getDocument('some-doc');
$article = $document['article']; // The field that contains your block content

$html = BlockContent::toHtml($article, [
    'projectId'    => 'abc123',
    'dataset'      => 'bikeshop',
    'imageOptions' => ['w' => 320, 'h' => 240]
]);

If you have some custom types, or would like to customize the rendering, you may pass an associative array of serializers:

$html = BlockContent::toHtml($article, [
  'serializers' => [
    'listItem' => function ($item, $parent, $htmlBuilder) {
      return '<li class="my-list-item">' . implode('\n', $item['children']) . '</li>';
    },
    'geopoint' => function ($item) {
      $attrs = $item['attributes']
      $url = 'https://www.google.com/maps/embed/v1/place?key=someApiKey&center='
      $url .= $attrs['lat'] . ',' . $attrs['lng'];
      return '<iframe class="geomap" src="' . $url . '" allowfullscreen></iframe>'
    },
    'pet' => function ($item, $parent, $htmlBuilder) {
      return '<p class="pet">' . $htmlBuilder->escape($item['attributes']['name']) . '</p>';
    }
  ]
]);
