Sanity CMS in Production
A working tour of Sanity as it's actually used: model content as documents and objects in code, query it with GROQ, wire it into Next.js with cached fetches and tag-based revalidation, render Portable Text with your own components, and close the loop with drafts, live preview, and webhooks. Every lesson ships with a runnable model of the concept.
5 lessons · ~2 hours
1. Structured Content
Content modeling
Define documents and objects in code with defineType and defineField — references, arrays, and validation included.
GROQ
Sanity's query language in five moves — filter, project, dereference with ->, order, and parameterize.
Next.js integration
Wire Sanity into Next.js with the next-sanity client, a sanityFetch helper, and ISR or tag-based revalidation.
Portable Text
Rich text in Sanity is structured data, not HTML — render it with @portabletext/react and your own components.
Drafts, preview & webhooks
Draft/published document pairs, the perspective switch that powers preview, and GROQ-powered webhooks that keep deploys in sync.
