help Sanity Data Loader (Hydrogen + Remix) FAQ
How do I query data from Sanity in a Remix loader?
You use the Sanity client to execute GROQ (Graph-Relational Object Queries) directly inside your Remix route loader functions. This allows the server-side Remix instance to fetch structured JSON content from Sanity's hosted content lake before rendering the HTML.
Does the Sanity Hydrogen plugin support live preview for content editors?
Yes, you can integrate Sanity's Live Preview API within your Hydrogen storefront so editors can see real-time content updates. This requires setting up a preview route in Remix and passing the preview token from Sanity to the loader.
How do I render Sanity's Portable Text in a Remix application?
To render Portable Text, you must use the @portabletext/react library to map Sanity's custom block types to standard HTML or React components. This ensures that rich text formatting and custom embedded objects display correctly in your Hydrogen store.
Do I need Shopify Plus to use Sanity with Hydrogen?
While Shopify Hydrogen is designed for Shopify storefronts, using Sanity as a headless CMS alongside it does not strictly require Shopify Plus. However, utilizing the Sanity connector in the Shopify admin to sync products is a feature primarily targeted at Shopify Plus merchants.
