Events

Event Records in Algolia

When an Event is published or updated in Sanity, the system fetches type-specific fields in addition to the general variables. Events have unique fields for multi-day scheduling, sponsor logos, and timestamp-based sorting.

Type-Specific Fields

Field	Source	Description
date	props.draft?.date	Event start date
date_timestamp	Computed from date	Unix timestamp for date-based sorting
is_multiday	props.draft?.is_multiday	Whether the event spans multiple days
end_date	props.draft?.end_date	End date (only if is_multiday is true)
regions_slug	fetchEvents()	Event region slugs (uses fetchEvents, not fetchTaxRepeaterSlug)
image	GROQ query	Event featured image from attributes
typeName	GROQ query on event_types	Localized event type display name
organizers	Set to false	Events don’t have author-style organizers
logos	GROQ query on repeater	Sponsor/partner logos with titles

How It Works

Logos (Instead of Organizers)

Events display sponsor/partner logos instead of author organizers. The logos are fetched from the repeater field:

for (let i = 0; i < props.draft?.repeater?.length; i++) {
    let id = props.draft?._id?.replace(/^drafts\./, '')

    var queryAuthor = `*[_type == "events" && (_id == "${id}" || _id == "${props.draft?._id}")][0]{
        'images': repeater[]{'image': asset_type.image.asset->url, 'title': title}
    }`

    await client.fetch(queryAuthor).then((author) => {
        organizers = false
        logos = author?.images
    })
}

Date & Timestamp

A Unix timestamp is computed for sorting purposes:

date = props.draft?.date;
date_timestamp = Math.floor(new Date(date).getTime() / 1000)

Multi-Day Events

If the event spans multiple days, the end date is also stored:

is_multiday = props.draft?.is_multiday
if (is_multiday) {
    end_date = props.draft?.end_date
}

Region Slugs

Events use a different fetch method for regions than other resource types:

regions_slug = await fetchEvents('region', 'events_regions_tax', props, client)

This uses fetchEvents() instead of the standard fetchTaxRepeaterSlug() used by other types.

Featured Image

var queryImage = `*[_type == "events" && (_id == "drafts.${id}" || _id == "${id}")][0]{
    'image': attributes.asset_type.image.asset->url,
}`

await client.fetch(queryImage).then((imageUrl) => {
    image = imageUrl?.image
})

Event Type Name

var queryTypeName = `*[_type == 'event_types' && _id == "${props.draft?.reference._ref}"][0].title`
typeName = await client.fetch(queryTypeName)
