Extension for Visual Studio Code that makes developing applications for Sanity.io that much more awesome.

Features

GROQ syntax highlighting

Syntax highlighting for the GROQ query language is available in the following situations:

  • Files with the .groq extension
  • Fenced code blocks in Markdown with the groq tag
  • Tagged template literals with the groq tag
  • Queries using the defineQuery method
  • Template literals prefixed with the /* groq */ comment
  • Template literals starting with a // groq comment

Execute GROQ-queries

When GROQ-queries are detected, the extension will allow you to run the query and displays the result as JSON in a separate tab.

The project ID and dataset used is determined by finding sanity.cli.ts in the workspace. If multiple files are found, the extension will prompt you to select one.

If the GROQ file/query has any variables, then extension asks for a relative filename of a JSON-file containing an object of key-value mappings. It autofills the param filename based on the current file with a .json extension, if it exists.

Execute GROQ in VS Code

Usage

Install the VSCode Sanity.io Extension. This extension adds syntax highlighting for GROQ-files and groq tags.
