Trouble passing environment variables in Sanity Studio

3 replies
Last updated: Apr 29, 2020
I could like to conditionally render items in the deskStructure based on environment. Have been referring to the doc’s 
<https://www.sanity.io/docs/studio-environment-variables>
but for whatever reason I can’t get my 
.env
or 
.env.development
variables to pass through? Hoping to do something like the following:
const dataset = process.env.SANITY_STUDIO_API_DATASET

export default () =&gt; {
  if(dataset == "staging"){
    S.list()
      .title('Content')
      .items([
        S.listItem()
          .title('Home Page')
          .schemaType('homePage')
          .child(S.document().schemaType('homePage')),
am I going about this the correct way?

Better to do it like this: 
import client from “part:@sanity/base/client”

const { dataset } = client.config()
