General Variables

General Variables for Resources

When any resource is published or updated in Sanity, the getResourcesData() function fetches a set of shared variables that apply to all content types in the dev_Resources_NET index. These variables are used for filtering and display in the Resource Center.

Source file: algolia/custom_actions/types/getResourcesData.js

Shared Fields

The following fields are fetched for every resource type:

Variable	Fetch Method	Description
`typeName`	`client.fetch(queryTypeName)`	Localized display name of the content type
`topics_slug`	`fetchTopics()`	Array of topic slugs for filtering
`topics_text`	`fetchTopics()`	Topic display text (returned alongside slugs)
`topics_languages`	`fetchTopicsLanguages()`	Localized topic names across all languages
`solutions_slug`	`fetchTaxRepeaterSlug()`	Array of solution taxonomy slugs
`industries_slug`	`fetchTaxRepeaterSlug()`	Array of industry taxonomy slugs
`products_slug`	`fetchTaxRepeaterSlug()`	Array of product taxonomy slugs
`technology_slug`	`fetchTaxRepeaterSlug()`	Array of technology taxonomy slugs
`compliance_slug`	`fetchTaxRepeaterSlug()`	Array of compliance taxonomy slugs
`regions_slug`	`fetchTaxRepeaterSlug()`	Array of region slugs (excludes podcasts and events)
`countries_slug`	`fetchTaxonomiesSlug()`	Array of country slugs
`taxonomy_slug`	`fetchTaxRepeaterSlug()`	Array of event type slugs
`main_topic`	`fetchMainTopic()`	Primary topic reference

Code Reference

const getResourcesData = async () => {
    ...
    // Fetch localized type display name
    var queryTypeName = `*[_type == 'post_type_names'][0].${type}`
    typeName = await client.fetch(queryTypeName)

    // Topics (slugs + display text)
    var resulttopics = await fetchTopics(props, client);
    topics_slug = resulttopics.topics_slug
    let topics_text = resulttopics.topics_text

    // Localized topic names
    topics_languages = await fetchTopicsLanguages('topics', 'topics', props, client)

    // Taxonomy slugs (solutions, industries, products, etc.)
    solutions_slug = await fetchTaxRepeaterSlug('solutions', 'solutions_tax', props, client)
    industries_slug = await fetchTaxRepeaterSlug('industries', 'industry_tax', props, client)
    products_slug = await fetchTaxRepeaterSlug('products', 'products_tax', props, client)
    technology_slug = await fetchTaxRepeaterSlug('technology', 'technology_tax', props, client)
    compliance_slug = await fetchTaxRepeaterSlug('compliance', 'compliance_tax', props, client)

    // Regions (not for podcasts or events — they handle regions differently)
    if (type != 'podcasts' && type != 'events') {
        regions_slug = await fetchTaxRepeaterSlug('region', 'events_regions_tax', props, client)
    }

    // Countries and event types
    countries_slug = await fetchTaxonomiesSlug('country', 'countries', props, client)
    taxonomy_slug = await fetchTaxRepeaterSlug('reference', 'event_types', props, client)
    main_topic = await fetchMainTopic('main_topic', 'topics', props, client)

    // Events use a different fetch method for taxonomy
    if (type == 'events') {
        taxonomy_slug = await fetchTaxonomiesSlug('reference', 'event_types', props, client)
    }
}

Notes

Podcasts and Events handle regions_slug separately in their own type-specific logic.
Events override the taxonomy_slug with a different fetch method (fetchTaxonomiesSlug instead of fetchTaxRepeaterSlug).
Each content type adds type-specific fields on top of these general variables. See the individual content type pages for details.
