A portfolio using structured content and a static site builder.

Deployed from sanity.io/create.

What you have

Quick start

  1. Clone this repository from your GitHub account
  2. yarn install in the project root folder on local
  3. yarn run dev to start the Studio and frontend locally **
  4. yarn run build to build to production locally ** Note: You may have better success opening two separate terminals to and running yarn run dev in both /studio and /web

Notes

  • Having troucble with yarn install? Verified Node versions: 14.xx, 17.xx

Workflow to create new documents for production

Steps

Import/Export Documentation

  • Use local machine to create document on your personal tagged dataset (Commit for reference on how to switch to change tags)

  • Export from your tagged dataset, then import into the dev dataset using either --missing or --replace flags (Documentation)

  • In the dev dataset, then add content to your new document in the Sanity Dashboard

  • Then export from the dev dataset, and import into the production dataset using the --missing skip flag (adds any missing data, skips any data with same Id's)

  • Possible have to do sanity graphql deploy to update the GraphQL (After adding code in `/documents))

  • Yay you're done... hopefully (Refer to the commands below)

    • Note: these commands will only transfer the content of the documents, you will still need to add the document code to the studio/douments folder

Confirmed command sequence once a schema is made in your tagged dataset

These 2 commands will export from your tagged dataset into the dev dataset

  • sanity dataset export dev --tag [tagName] ./tagged.tar.gz (Export from tagged dataset)
  • sanity dataset import ./tagged.tar.gz dev --missing skip (Import into dev dataset) this will add all missing data and skip any data with the same id

After this step, you would populate the content in sanity

Then, these 2 commands will import your data from dev to production

  • sanity dataset export dev ./dev.tar.gz (Export from dev dataset) Create a backup of production dataset (Possible GitHub action)
  • sanity dataset export production ./production.tar.gz (Export from production dataset)

Import from dev into production

  • sanity dataset import ./dev.tar.gz production --missing skip (Import into production dataset)



Sanity Workflow

Sanity runs into issues with overwriting work when trying to update schemas simultaneously on different branches. The ideal workflow for updating schema is as follows:

  1. Plan out all necessary schema for development.

  2. Add schema and push to the main branch on Github before any changes are made by other users.

  3. Other users should pull your schema changes before adding any new schema.

  4. Continue development on the front-end accessing the already committed schema.

The entire goal is to eliminate concurrent development of Sanity schema since they will overwrite each other.

Other potential solutions:

  • Sanity migration command
