pnpm install next-sanity @portabletext/react @sanity/image-url
When using npm
newer than v7
you should end up with needed dependencies like sanity
and styled-components
when you npm install next-sanity
. For other package managers you may need to do some extra steps.
npx install-peerdeps --yarn next-sanity
You can either setup auto-install-peers
and pnpm install next-sanity
is enough, or:
npx install-peerdeps --pnpm next-sanity
import {createClient, groq} from 'next-sanity'
const projectId = process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_SANITY_PROJECT_ID // "pv8y60vp"
const dataset = process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_SANITY_DATASET // "production"
const apiVersion = process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_SANITY_API_VERSION // "2022-11-16"
const client = createClient({
projectId,
dataset,
apiVersion, // https://www.sanity.io/docs/api-versioning
useCdn: typeof document !== 'undefined', // server-side is statically generated, the CDN is only necessary beneficial if queries are called on-demand
})
const data = await client.fetch(groq`*[]`)
As @sanity/client
will only sometimes use fetch
under the hood, it depends on the environment, it's best to implement the cache function to ensure reliable caching.
import {createClient, groq} from 'next-sanity'
import {cache} from 'react'
const projectId = process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_SANITY_PROJECT_ID // "pv8y60vp"
const dataset = process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_SANITY_DATASET // "production"
const apiVersion = process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_SANITY_API_VERSION // "2022-11-16"
const client = createClient({
projectId,
dataset,
apiVersion, // https://www.sanity.io/docs/api-versioning
useCdn: typeof document !== 'undefined', // server-side is statically generated, the CDN is only necessary beneficial if queries are called on-demand
})
// Wrap the cache function in a way that reuses the TypeScript definitions
const clientFetch = cache(client.fetch.bind(client))
// Now use it just like before, fully deduped, cached and optimized by react
const data = await clientFetch(groq`*[]`)
// You can use the same generics as ebfore
const total = await clientFetch<number>(groq`count*()`)
You can implement real-time client side preview using definePreview
. It works by streaming the whole dataset to the browser, which it keeps updated using listeners and Mendoza patches. When it receives updates, then the query is run against the client-side datastore using groq-js.
It uses @sanity/preview-kit
under the hood, which can be used in frameworks other than Nextjs if it supports React 18 Suspense APIs.
When running next dev
locally these examples start and exit preview mode by opening localhost:3000/api/preview and localhost:3000/api/exit-preview.
Pros:
- Checks if the user is authenticated for you.
- Pairs well with Sanity Studio preview panes.
Cons:
- Doesn't implement a login flow:
- Requires the user to login to a Sanity Studio prior to starting Preview mode.
- Requires your Sanity Studio to be hosted on the same origin.
- Currently only supports cookie based auth, and not yet the
dual
loginMethod in Sanity Studio:- Safari based browsers (Desktop Safari on Macs, and all browsers on iOS) doesn't work.
- Doesn't support incognito browser modes.

By providing a read token (Sanity API token with viewer
rights) you override the built-in auth and get more control and flexibility.
Pros:
- Allows launching previews for users without necessarily an Sanity account.
- Hosting a Sanity Studio on the same origin is optional.
- Can build preview experiences that start outside a Studio, like "Copy share link" functionality.
- Works in all Safari based browsers (Desktop Safari on Macs, and all browsers on iOS).
- Works with incognito browser modes.
Cons:
- Like all things with great power comes great responsibility. You're responsible for implementing adequate protection against leaking the
token
in your js bundle, or preventing the/api/preview?secret=${secret}
from being easily guessable. - It results in a larger JS bundle as
@sanity/groq-store
currently requiresevent-source-polyfill
since nativewindow.EventSource
does not support settingAuthorization
headers needed for the token auth.
pages/api/preview.ts
:
import getSecret from 'lib/getSecret'
export default async function preview(req, res) {
// The secret can't be stored in an env variable with a NEXT_PUBLIC_ prefix, as it would make you vulnerable to leaking the token to anyone.
// If you don't have an custom API with authentication that can handle checking secrets, you may use https://github.com/sanity-io/sanity-studio-secrets to store the secret in your dataset.
const secret = await getSecret()
// This is the most common way to check for auth, but we encourage you to use your existing auth infra to protect your token and securely transmit it to the client
if (!req.query.secret || req.query.secret !== secret) {
return res.status(401).json({message: 'Invalid secret'})

shouldn't be used in production before Vercel says it's stable.

}
The real-time preview isn't optimized and comes with a configured limit of 3000 documents. You can experiment with larger datasets by configuring the hook with documentLimit: <Integer>
. Be aware that this might significantly affect the preview performance.
You may use the includeTypes
option to reduce the amount of documents and reduce the risk of hitting the documentLimit
:
import {definePreview} from 'next-sanity/preview'
export const usePreview = definePreview({
projectId,
dataset,
documentLimit: 10000,
includeTypes: ['page', 'product', 'sanity.imageAsset'],
// If you have a lot of editors changing content at the same time it might help to increase this value
// to reduce the amount of rerenders React have to perform.
subscriptionThrottleMs: 300,
})
We have plans for optimizations in the roadmap.
The latest version of Sanity Studio allows you to embed a near-infinitely configurable content editing interface into any React application. This opens up many possibilities:
- Any service that hosts Next.js apps can now host your Studio.
- Building previews for your content is easier as your Studio lives in the same environment.
- Use Data Fetching to configure your Studio.
- Easy setup of Preview Mode.
The basic setup is 2 components, NextStudio
and NextStudioHead
.
NextStudio
loads up the import {Studio} from 'sanity'
component for you and wraps it in a Next-friendly layout.
While NextStudioHead
sets necessary <head>
meta tags such as <meta name="viewport">
to ensure the responsive CSS in the Studio works as expected.
Both the Next /app
and /pages
examples uses this config file:
sanity.config.ts
:
import {visionTool} from '@sanity/vision'
import {defineConfig} from 'sanity'
import {deskTool} from 'sanity/desk'
import {schemaTypes} from './schemas'
const projectId = process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_SANITY_PROJECT_ID!
const dataset = process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_SANITY_DATASET!
export default defineConfig({
basePath: '/studio', // <-- important that `basePath` matches the route you're mounting your studio from, it applies to both `/pages` and `/app`
projectId,
dataset,
plugins: [deskTool(), visionTool()],
schema: {
types: schemaTypes,
},
})
To use sanity.cli.ts
with the same projectId
and dataset
as your sanity.config.ts
:
/* eslint-disable no-process-env */
import {loadEnvConfig} from '@next/env'
import {defineCliConfig} from 'sanity/cli'
const dev = process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production'
loadEnvConfig(__dirname, dev, {info: () => null, error: console.error})
const projectId = process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_SANITY_PROJECT_ID
const dataset = process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_SANITY_DATASET
export default defineCliConfig({api: {projectId, dataset}})
Now you can run commands like npx sanity cors add
. See npx sanity help
for a full list of what you can do.
We support the new appDir
mode in Next, but please note that appDir
shouldn't be used in production before Vercel says it's stable.
In Next 13's new appDir
mode you use page.tsx
to load NextStudio
, and optionally (recommended, especially if you want great support for iPhones and other devices with display cutouts like "The Notch" or "Dynamic Island") export NextStudioHead
in a head.tsx
.
In routes that load NextStudio
ensure you have 'use client'
at the top of your file.
app/studio/[[...index]]/page.tsx
:
'use client'
import {NextStudio} from 'next-sanity/studio'
import config from '../../../sanity.config'
export default function StudioPage() {
// Supports the same props as `import {Studio} from 'sanity'`, `config` is required
return <NextStudio config={config} />
}
Set the right viewport
meta tag, favicons and mroe
app/studio/[[...index]]/head.tsx
:
// Re-export `NextStudioHead` as default if you're happy with the default behavior
export {NextStudioHead as default} from 'next-sanity/studio/head'
// To customize it, use it as a children component:
import {NextStudioHead} from 'next-sanity/studio/head'
export default function CustomStudioHead() {
return (
<>
<NextStudioHead favicons={false} />
<link
rel="icon"
type="image/png"
sizes="32x32"
href="https://www.sanity.io/static/images/favicons/favicon-32x32.png"
/>
</>
)
}
Improve the Studio loading experience by setting a loading.tsx
route.
app/studio/[[...index]]/loading.tsx
:
'use client'
import config from '../../../sanity.config'
import {NextStudioLoading} from 'next-sanity/studio/loading'
export default function Loading() {
return <NextStudioLoading config={config} />
}
Using just NextStudio
gives you a fully working Sanity Studio v3. However we recommend also using NextStudioHead
as it ensures CSS Media Queries that target mobile devices with display cutouts (for example iPhone's "The Notch" and "Dynamic Island") and other details.
/pages/studio/[[...index]].tsx
:
import Head from 'next/head'
import {NextStudio} from 'next-sanity/studio'
import {NextStudioHead} from 'next-sanity/studio/head'
import config from '../../sanity.config'
export default function StudioPage() {
return (
<>
<Head>
<NextStudioHead />
</Head>
<NextStudio config={config} />
</>
)
}
If you want to go lower level and have more control over the studio you can pass StudioProvider
and StudioLayout
from sanity
as children
:
import {NextStudio} from 'next-sanity/studio'
import {StudioProvider, StudioLayout} from 'sanity'
import config from '../../../sanity.config'
function StudioPage() {
return (
<NextStudio config={config}>
<StudioProvider config={config}>
{/* Put components here and you'll have access to the same React hooks as Studio gives you when writing plugins */}
<StudioLayout />
</StudioProvider>
</NextStudio>
)
}
Implements @sanity/webhook
to parse and verify that a Webhook is indeed coming from Sanity infrastructure.
pages/api/revalidate
:
import type {NextApiRequest, NextApiResponse} from 'next'
import {parseBody} from 'next-sanity/webhook'
// Export the config from next-sanity to enable validating the request body signature properly
export {config} from 'next-sanity/webhook'
export default async function revalidate(req: NextApiRequest, res: NextApiResponse) {
try {
const {isValidSignature, body} = await parseBody(req, process.env.SANITY_REVALIDATE_SECRET)
if (!isValidSignature) {
const message = 'Invalid signature'
console.warn(message)
res.status(401).json({message})
return
}
const staleRoute = `/${body.slug.current}`
await res.revalidate(staleRoute)
const message = `Updated route: ${staleRoute}`
console.log(message)
return res.status(200).json({message})
} catch (err) {
console.error(err)
return res.status(500).json({message: err.message})
}
}
The v3
release only contains breaking changes on the next-sanity/studio
imports. If you're only using import {createClient, groq} from 'next-sanity'
or import {definePreview, PreviewSuspense} from 'next-sanity/preview'
then there's no migration for you to do.
The layout is no longer using global CSS to set the Studio height. The switch to local CSS helps interop between Next /pages
and /app
layouts.
It's no longer necessary to setup styled-components
SSR for the Studio to render correctly.
The useTheme
hook is still available if you're building abstractions that need to know what the initial workspace theme variables are.
The useBackgroundColorsFromTheme
, useBasePath
, useConfigWithBasePath
, and useTextFontFamilyFromTheme
, hooks are removed
You can useTheme
to replace useBackgroundColorsFromTheme
and useTextFontFamilyFromTheme
:
import {useMemo} from 'react'
import {useTheme} from 'next-sanity/studio'
import type {StudioProps} from 'sanity'
export default function MyComponent(props: Pick<StudioProps, 'config'>) {
const theme = useTheme(config)
// useBackgroundColorsFromTheme
const {themeColorLight, themeColorDark} = useMemo(
() => ({
themeColorLight: theme.color.light.default.base.bg,
themeColorDark: theme.color.dark.default.base.bg,
}),
[theme]
)
// useTextFontFamilyFromTheme
const fontFamily = useMemo(() => theme.fonts.text.family, [theme])
}
The reason why useBasePath
and useConfigWithBasePath
got removed is because Next /pages
and /app
diverge too much in how they declare dynamic segments. Thus you'll need to specify basePath
in your sanity.config.ts
manually to match the route you're loading the studio, for the time being.
Its props are also quite different and it now requires you to wrap it in import Head from 'next/head'
if you're not using a head.tsx
in appDir
. Make sure you use TypeScript to ease the migration.
There are several differences between the hooks. First of all, definePreview
requires React 18 and Suspense. And as it's designed to work with React Server Components you provide token
in the hook itself instead of in the definePreview
step. Secondly, definePreview
encourages code-splitting using React.lazy
and that means you only call the usePreview
hook in a component that is lazy loaded. Quite different from usePreviewSubscription
which was designed to be used in both preview mode, and in production by providing initialData
.
The files that are imported here are the same as the Next /pages
example.
pages/index.tsx
import {createPreviewSubscriptionHook} from 'next-sanity'
import {DocumentsCount, query} from 'components/DocumentsCount'
import {client, projectId, dataset} from 'lib/sanity.client'
export const getStaticProps = async ({preview = false}) => {
const data = await client.fetch(query)
return {props: {preview, data}}
}
const usePreviewSubscription = createPreviewSubscriptionHook({projectId, dataset})
export default function IndexPage({preview, data: initialData}) {
const {data} = usePreviewSubscription(indexQuery, {initialData, enabled: preview})
return <DocumentsCount data={data} />
}
components/PreviewDocumentsCount.tsx
import {definePreview} from 'next-sanity/preview'
import {projectId, dataset} from 'lib/sanity.client'
const usePreview = definePreview({projectId, dataset})
export default function PreviewDocumentsCount() {
const data = usePreview(null, query)
return <DocumentsCount data={data} />
}
pages/index.tsx
import {lazy} from 'react'
import {PreviewSuspense} from 'next-sanity/preview'
import {DocumentsCount, query} from 'components/DocumentsCount'
import {client} from 'lib/sanity.client'
const PreviewDocumentsCount = lazy(() => import('components/PreviewDocumentsCount'))
export const getStaticProps = async ({preview = false}) => {
const data = await client.fetch(query)
return {props: {preview, data}}
}
export default function IndexPage({preview, data}) {
if (preview) {
return (
<PreviewSuspense fallback={<DocumentsCount data={data} />}>
<PreviewDocumentsCount />
</PreviewSuspense>
)
}
return <DocumentsCount data={data} />
}
If you used this hook to check if the user is cookie authenticated:
import {createCurrentUserHook} from 'next-sanity'
const projectId = process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_SANITY_PROJECT_ID
const useCurrentUser = createCurrentUserHook({projectId})
const useCheckAuth = () => {
const {data, loading} = useCurrentUser()
return loading ? false : !!data
}
export default function Page() {
const isAuthenticated = useCheckAuth()
}
Then you can achieve the same functionality using @sanity/preview-kit
and suspend-react
:
import {suspend} from 'suspend-react'
import {_checkAuth} from '@sanity/preview-kit'
const projectId = process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_SANITY_PROJECT_ID
const useCheckAuth = () =>
suspend(() => _checkAuth(projectId, null), ['@sanity/preview-kit', 'checkAuth', projectId])
export default function Page() {
const isAuthenticated = useCheckAuth()
}
This utility used to wrap @sanity/block-content-to-react
. It's encouraged to upgrade to @portabletext/react
.
$ npm install @portabletext/react
// or
$ yarn add @portabletext/react
-import { createPortableTextComponent } from 'next-sanity'
+import { PortableText as PortableTextComponent } from '@portabletext/react'
-export const PortableText = createPortableTextComponent({ serializers: {} })
+export const PortableText = (props) => <PortableTextComponent components={{}} {...props} />
Please note that the serializers
and components
are not 100% equivalent.
Check the full migration guide.
This utility is no longer wrapped by next-sanity
and you'll need to install the dependency yourself:
$ npm install @sanity/image-url
// or
$ yarn add @sanity/image-url
-import { createImageUrlBuilder } from 'next-sanity'
+import createImageUrlBuilder from '@sanity/image-url'
Run "CI & Release" workflow. Make sure to select the main branch and check "Release new version".
Semantic release will only release on configured branches, so it is safe to run release on any branch.
