Option to set synced products/collections as draft

[leo-cheron]

When products are synced from Shopify, they are currently automatically marked as published in Sanity.

This behaviour can be troublesome if we decide to extend shopifyProduct / shopifyCollection with required field (a slug, for instance) as it could prevent the front-end to work as expected.

Would it be possible to add a saneShopifyConfig option to create drafts instead of published documents on Shopify sync document creation?

Todo:

• Add plugin configuration with autoPublish boolean in sanity plugin config
• Add the same config to the hooks server creation
• Add a checkbox to sync UI to enable/disable auto publishing

Hmm, this is a good thought. Were you thinking that this would happen only when new documents are created, or for updates / re-syncs as well?

I think it should only be stated as draft on creation because it needs to be manually populated before the first publication. Then, if it has already been published once, it would make sense to automatically republish it on Shopify sync (let's avoid republishing manually numerous products !).

Got it, that sounds good. I added this to the 1.1 milestone, but will aim to get it into 1.0 since I don't think it will be that complicated.

Thank you sir, this lib begins to be quite mature and I'm planning to use it for production on my next project. Keep up the good work, Sanity really needs a solid Shopify sync plugin!
