Suggestion: Adding automatic types generation for sanity schema

[rusbers]

First of all, thank you for providing a great TypeScript-friendly template!

I was wondering if there are any plans to integrate automatic type generation for Sanity schemas using the sanity typegen command.

Currently, whenever I modify the schema to fit my project's specific requirements, I need to manually update the TypeScript types and adjust prop types for components accordingly. Automating this process would greatly improve development efficiency and reduce the risk of type mismatches.

Additionally, if automatic type generation is added, it would be great to run it automatically on every dev command, similar to how it's handled in the official Sanity clean template.

Would love to hear your thoughts on this! Thanks for your time and for maintaining this project.

@rusbers Thanks for the kind words and feedback!

Automatic typegen is definitely a consideration I will make. I'll need to refactor how the GROQ queries are currently in place, but I 100% see the benefits for this 👍

The only drawback I have found when trying to implement typegen previously (with the official Sanity package) was the types not being globally accessible (as they are in the current codebase with the types/Sanity.d.ts file). I'll attempt again at this, perhaps in a new git branch some time soon.

@mitchuman Thank you for considering it! I’m looking forward to seeing this improvement. It will greatly enhance the DX 🚀

There's an issue with the typegen command with some of the complex queries I have set up in the codebase and have not been able to get it to work.

Hoping someone else can take s stab at this for the time being.

I'll give it a crack, but imo source of truth for types is always flimsy, unless using something like groqd

I've started a new repo with typegen, if you're interested.
