// schemaTypes/articleType.ts
import { defineType, defineField } from "sanity";

export const articleType = defineType({
  name: "article",
  type: "document",
  fields: [
    defineField({
      name: "title",
      type: "string",
      validation: (Rule) => [
        Rule.required(),
        Rule.max(80).warning(
          "Titles over 80 characters may be truncated in search results"
        ),
      ],
    }),
    defineField({
      name: "excerpt",
      type: "text",
      validation: (Rule) =>
        Rule.custom((value, context) => {
          // Cross-field validation
          const isFeatured = context.document?.featured;
          return isFeatured && !value
            ? "Featured articles need an excerpt"
            : true;
