getSiteMetaData.ts

const querySiteMeta = `

  description,
  "canonical": url,
  isGoogleAnalyticsEnabled,

    ...,
    "background_color": background_color.hex,
    "theme_color": theme_color.hex

    title,
    url,
    "image": image.asset->url
    },
    "optional": {
      locale,
      site_name,
      description
    }
  }
}
`


export default async function getSiteMeta(
  query: string = querySiteMeta,
  client: SanityClientLike,
  mutation = "fetch"
):Promise<Site> {
  const site: Site = await client[mutation](query)
  return site
}

siteMeta.ts is ideally used as a singleton document within the settings/configuration section of your studio.

openGraph.ts and locale.ts can also be imported as individual objects/ fields to add anywhere into your schemas.

the siteMeta document can be fetched/queried with getSiteMeta.ts
the function also includes the groq query.

also available as a package

npm i sanity-meta
