We’re excited to announce the release of Vyuh for React - bringing the powerful CMS-driven approach of the Vyuh framework to the React ecosystem!

Vyuh Expands Beyond Flutter

Section titled “Vyuh Expands Beyond Flutter”

While Vyuh has been transforming how developers build Flutter applications with headless CMS integrations, we’ve heard from many of you who wanted to bring this same approach to your React projects. Today, we’re thrilled to deliver exactly that.

Vyuh for React provides the same core benefits that made the Flutter version so powerful:

  • CMS-driven UI development - connect your React apps to Sanity.io and other headless CMS platforms
  • Dynamic content updates without code changes or redeployments
  • Modular architecture for building scalable applications with composable features and standardized plugins.
  • Live content editing for real-time preview of CMS changes

Getting Started

Section titled “Getting Started”

Adding Vyuh to your React project is straightforward with your favorite package manager. We need the following packages:

  • @vyuh/react-core: Core package for Vyuh React
  • @vyuh/react-extension-content: Extension for working with CMS content
  • @vyuh/react-feature-system: Core feature for working with a CMS
  • @vyuh/react-plugin-content-provider-sanity: Content provider for Sanity.io
Terminal window
pnpm add @vyuh/react-core @vyuh/react-extension-content @vyuh/react-feature-system @vyuh/react-plugin-content-provider-sanity

Then integrate it with your React application. The connection to the CMS is handled by the SanityContentProvider via the DefaultContentPlugin.

import { PluginDescriptor, VyuhProvider } from '@vyuh/react-core'
import {
  RouteLoader,
  DefaultContentPlugin,
} from '@vyuh/react-extension-content'
import { SanityContentProvider } from '@vyuh/react-plugin-content-provider-sanity'
import { system } from '@vyuh/react-feature-system'
import { shop } from './features/shop'


/**
 * Plugin configuration
 */
const plugins = new PluginDescriptor({
  content: new DefaultContentPlugin(
    new SanityContentProvider({
      projectId: '<your-project-id>',
      dataset: 'production',
      perspective: 'drafts',
      useCdn: false,
      token: '<your-token>',
    }),
  ),
})


const getFeatures = () => [system, shop]


function App() {
  return (
    <VyuhProvider features={getFeatures} plugins={plugins}>
      <YourAppComponent />
    </VyuhProvider>
  )
}


// For rendering CMS-driven pages
function ProductsPage() {
  return <RouteLoader path="/products" live={true} />
}

Notice the use of the RouteLoader component that allows you to load a document at a path. You can also pass it the live property and make this route automatically update whenever there are changes to that particular document.

Note for Next.js users

Section titled “Note for Next.js users”

If you’re using Vyuh with Next.js, you can integrate it into your pages or app router:

// pages/products.tsx or app/products/page.tsx
import { RouteLoader } from '@vyuh/react-extension-content'


export default function ProductsPage() {
  return <RouteLoader path="/products" />
}

Make sure to wrap your Next.js app with the VyuhProvider in your _app.tsx or root layout component.

Vyuh + Sanity

Section titled “Vyuh + Sanity”

Vyuh + Sanity

Vyuh for React is designed to work seamlessly with Sanity.io 🔗, our preferred CMS platform. Sanity provides a powerful and flexible content management system that integrates well with Vyuh’s CMS-driven approach.
