Is it possible to convert rich text to plain text using the Sanity client?

Sanity is for sure my favorite CMS ever, but one thing I really loved that I could leverage in prismic was turning rich text into plain text strings $prismic.asText(pageData.text) for instance. Is this something that is currently possible utilizing the sanity client?

You can do this in groq: https://www.sanity.io/docs/groq-functions#1467558a0339

"content": pt::text(content)
