Nesting document types and using Sanity with Next.js discussed in Slack thread

Hello, Is it possible to nest multiple document types inside one another in the Studio? Like to make a data structure as a tree.

Take a look at this resource https://www.sanity.io/docs/structure-builder-introduction

You can’t exactly nest a document inside of a document, but you can effectively do the same thing by using references! This will allow you to create a flexible hierarchy that will be easily query-able. And as Brian pointed out, you can use a custom desk structure to visually display this in your Studio.

Thank you so much, I will try this out shortly.

Hello Miss, Can you tell me, if I want to use Sanity with Next.js, I should install Next.js first then install Sanity in the Next.js's

src

folder?

I typically create a next project then install sanity into a dir titled

/admin

but you can use

/studio

theres other ways to do it but I found this to work very easy

I see, then I understood it right, I wasn't sure of it. THank you for confirming

^ how my files are usually set up

Great, understood. Thank you

I finally set up the folders in a structure, but I get a

useContext

error when running

next dev

command. I checked for possible problems, like version mismatch. Versions are OK. In the demo next.js pages folder, there are no componenets which explicitly use hooks, so I guess that's not the problem either. Lastly, maybe the problem is that there are two

react

and

react-dom

libraries one for next.js and one for the sanity studio. But these two shouldn't interfere wiht one another. So, what do you suggest? How could I solve this?

I put together this repo a while back for my self to use as a template https://github.com/briannelson95/sanity-next-client-example
Take a look at the

package.json

scripts and in the

next.config.js

is where the routing get handled to use the studio on domain .com/admin

This is for v2 btw but so far with v3 I haven’t seen any major problems around set up

Here is the blog I followed to set this up
https://www.sanity.io/guides/sanity-nextjs-tailwindcss

Sorry if that doesn’t help, I haven’t ran into the useContext error before

Oh, all right, no worries. I am going to look into this in the morning then. Thank you for your time.

No problem, I basically treat the 2 directories as separate project, each has its on package.json and on build, it directs the server to /admin then run

sanity start

and then runs build commands for next

Yep, that is clear to me too, maybe i should delete all npm packages from my laptop and reinstall which are necessary

So I won't have dplicates or something

Yea might be worth a try or at least form the project

Basically, I installed nextjs with

npm create nextjs@latest

then inside the admin folder I installed sanity separately. It's fine, both work seamlessly, but Nextjs is bugging me. Anyway, thank you for replying. Have a good one. 🙂

Hello, finally I managed to do what I wanted. It's super cool. Thanks for your support.
