A minimal Astro site with Sanity Studio

This starter uses Astro for the frontend and Sanity to handle its content.

Featuring

How to fetch content as data from the Sanity Content Lake
How to render block content with Portable Text
A Sanity Studio to create and edit content
How to crop and render images with Sanity Image URLs

Note

This starter features an /app and a /studio folder. The /app folder contains the frontend code, and the /studio folder contains the Sanity Studio code.

This is not a monorepo setup. We put them both in one repository for the sake of simplicity. You might want to have separate repositories for each of the folders, to make it easier to deploy the app and the studio separately.

Prerequisities

Node.js (v16.12 or later)
Sanity CLI (optional)

Getting started

The following commands are meant to be run in both the /app and /studio folders.

npm install to install dependencies
npm create sanity@latest init --env, this will:

ask you to select or create a Sanity project and dataset
output a .env file with appropriate variables
(or use sanity init --env if you have the CLI installed)

npm run dev to start the development server

Your Astro app should now be running on http://localhost:3000/ and Studio on http://localhost:3333/.

Feel free to move each of the folders to their own location and check them into version control.

Add content

Visit the Studio and create and publish a new Post document
Visit the App and refresh the page to see your content rendered on the page

The schema for the Post document is defined in the /studio/schemas folder. You can add more documents and schemas to the Studio to suit your needs.

Removing TypeScript

If you do not wish to use TypeScript, we've included a remove-typescript.mjs file in the root of this repository. You can run this file with node remove-typescript.mjs to strip all types from both the /app and /studio folders. Please run this before tampering with any code to ensure that all types are properly removed.

If you intend to use TypeScript, you can safely remove the remove-typescript.mjs file.

Deployments

The /app and /studio folders are meant to be deployed separately.

Feel free to deploy the App to whichever hosting provider you prefer. We recommend Vercel.

You can deploy the Sanity Studio by running sanity deploy in the /studio repository, provided you have the @sanity/cli installed globally.
