yarn add next-sanity @portabletext/react @sanity/image-url
pnpm install next-sanity @portabletext/react @sanity/image-url
next-sanity/studio peer dependenciesWhen 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
next-sanity Running groq queriesimport {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: true, // if you're using ISR or only static generation at build time then you can set this to `false` to guarantee no stale content
})
const data = await client.fetch(groq`*[]`)
appDir, React Server Components and cachingAs @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: true, // if you're using ISR or only static generation at build time then you can set this to `false` to guarantee no stale content
})
// 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 before
const total = await clientFetch<number>(groq`count*()`)
next-sanity/preview Live real-time previewYou 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.

By providing a read token (Sanity API token with viewer rights) you override the built-in auth and get more control and flexibility.
Pros:
Cons:
token in your js bundle, or preventing the /api/preview?secret=${secret} from being easily guessable.@sanity/groq-store currently requires event-source-polyfill since native window.EventSource does not support setting Authorization 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'})

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.
next-sanity/studioThe 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:
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 {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()],
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.
/app directory (experimental)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} />
}
/pages directoryUsing 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} />
</>
)
}
StudioProvider and StudioLayoutIf 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>
)
}
next-sanity/webhookImplements @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})
}
}
v2The 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.
NextStudioGlobalStyle is removedThe 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.
ServerStyleSheetDocument is removedIt's no longer necessary to setup styled-components SSR for the Studio to render correctly.
isWorkspaceWithTheme and isWorkspaces utils are no longer exportedThe useTheme hook is still available if you're building abstractions that need to know what the initial workspace theme variables are.
useBackgroundColorsFromTheme, useBasePath, useConfigWithBasePath, and useTextFontFamilyFromTheme, hooks are removedYou 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.
NextStudioHead component has moved from next-sanity/studio to next-sanity/studio/headIts 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.
v1createPreviewSubscriptionHook is replaced with definePreviewThere 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} />
}
createCurrentUserHook is removedIf 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()
}
v0.4createPortableTextComponent is removedThis 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.
createImageUrlBuilder is removedThis 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'
