sanity.io - Adding color the text editor for the “block” type












1















I have an object of type block to get a WYSIWYG editor. It looks like this:



{
title: "Block",
type: "block",

styles: [
{ title: "Normal", value: "normal" },
{ title: "H1", value: "h1" },
{ title: "H2", value: "h2" },
{ title: "H3", value: "h3" },
{ title: "H4", value: "h4" },
{ title: "Quote", value: "blockquote" }
],
lists: [{ title: "Bullet", value: "bullet" }],
marks: {
decorators: [
{ title: "Strong", value: "strong" },
{ title: "Emphasis", value: "em" }
],
annotations: [
{
title: "URL",
name: "link",
type: "object",
fields: [
{
title: "URL",
name: "href",
type: "url"
}
]
}
]
}
}


But I see no option to be able to choose the color of the text. Is there a way to enable this? Maybe a plugin?

  • I don't know anything about your use-case, but keep in mind that the block type is only in the business of producing structured text and should probably not be seen as a WYSIWYG editor. "What You Get" is for the front end to decide. That's the underlying design philosophy, anyway. Use it however you like :)

There is indeed a plugin for this. In your terminal, cd to you Sanity Content Studio folder, then run:



sanity install @sanity/color-input


This will append @sanity/color-input to the plugins array in your sanity.json file and locally install the @sanity/color-input npm package.



Then, go ahead and add the color type to the annotations array in the block content where you want to enable text color. E.g.:



export default {
name: 'blockContent',
type: 'array',
title: 'Block Content with Color',
of: [
{
type: 'block',
marks: {
annotations: [
{name: 'color', title: 'Color', type: 'color'}
]
}
}
]
}


Also, keep in mind that you'll now get text annotated with color specifics. How (and if) your front-end(s) choose to render the structured text is up to you.
