Issue with a new field not being available in GraphQL API after updating in Sanity.io

12 replies
Last updated: Aug 11, 2020
I added a new field in fields array in siteSettings document and updated it's value with studio. But the field is not available in graphQL API.
{ name: 'siteURL',
      type: 'url',
      title: 'Site URL',
      description: 'Provide URL for your website.'
    },
What could be the issue? I did close the process and rebuild the gatsby site after updating.

EDIT: Solved

Hi Rahul, did you deploy your GraphQL API after adding the new field? You can do so by running 
sanity graphql deploy
in the CLI 🙂

It throws an error

- Checking for deployed API

Error: Request returned HTTP 401

Could you run 
sanity logout && sanity login
and then try once again? 
401
indicates an authentication issue in this case.

I did, and now it says I need a top-level scheme to deploy.

I am using the Sanity blog starter template

Just tested locally to be sure, but that template does indeed deploy a GraphQL API out-of-the-box. Did you perhaps add any new objects to your schema that are declared inline (within another document type) instead of at the top level? Here’s some additional information on the error you are seeing: https://www.sanity.io/docs/graphql#strict-schemas-33ec7103289a .
Please feel free to share your schema folder or a link to your repo (in DM if you prefer) so I can have a look
🙂

Yes, I have added a few fields and object. but can't seem to figure out which object needs to be top-level. I can DM you the repo link
Aug 11, 2020, 5:21 PM
Ah I see, you’ll have to “hoist” your 
code
type field in 
bodyPortableText
to the top level. To do so, the most simple way is probably to create a new object called `myCode.js`:
export default {
  name: 'myCode',
  title: 'Code Editor',
  description: 'Code editor',
  type: 'code'
}
And then include this as follows in `bodyPortableText`:

...
{
  type: 'myCode'
}
And add it to your 
schema.js
file:
...
import myCode from './objects/myCode'
...
export default createSchema({
  ...
  types: schemaTypes.concat([
    ...
    myCode
    ...
  ])
})

Thank you so much ❤️

I was looking for issues in an 'object' and completely missed out on the code component!!
Aug 11, 2020, 7:29 PM
Thanks a lot!
Aug 11, 2020, 7:29 PM
It's easy to miss, especially hidden like that inside the portable text array. Glad to hear it's working! 🚀
