Sanity Studio

This guide shows you how to deploy a Sanity Studio application to Edgio.

Sanity Studio is a single page app (SPA) written in React, where you can configure the document types and input fields, with simple JavaScript objects. This guide will walk you through how to deploy Sanity Studio with Edgio in four simple steps.

System Requirements #

• Install Node.js 16.16.0

Sign up for Edgio #

Deploying requires an account on Edgio. Sign up here for free.

Install the Edgio CLI #

If you have not already done so, install the Edgio CLI.

1npm i -g @edgio/cli

Create a new Sanity Studio app #

First, install the Sanity CLI:

1npm i -g @sanity/cli

To initiate a new project and download the Studio code to your computer, run the following in the command line:

1sanity init

The Sanity CLI will walk you through the necessary steps to set up a project, letting you choose a schema template. When you’re done with these steps, the CLI will download the source code and configuration to get you started. To start a local development server, cd into the project folder and run the following command:

1sanity start

Configuring your Sanity Studio app for Edgio #

Initialize your project #

In the root directory of your project run edgio init:

1edgio init

This will automatically update your package.json and add all of the required Edgio dependencies and files to your project. These include:

• The @edgio/core package - Allows you to declare routes and deploy your application on Edgio
• The @edgio/prefetch package - Allows you to configure a service worker to prefetch and cache pages to improve browsing speed
• edgio.config.js - A configuration file for Edgio
• routes.js - A default routes file that sends all requests to Sanity Studio.

Configure the routes #

Update routes.js at the root of your project to the following:

1// This file was added by edgio init.
2// You should commit this file to source control.
3
4import { Router } from '@edgio/core/router'
5
6export default new Router()
7  // Create serveStatic route for each file in the folder dist with a cache-control header of 's-maxage=315360000'
8  .static('dist')
9  .fallback(({ appShell }) => {
10      appShell('dist/index.html')
11  })

Refer to the CDN-as-code guide for the full syntax of the routes.js file and how to configure it for your use case.

Run the Sanity Studio app locally on Edgio #

Create a production build of your app by running the following in your project’s root directory:

1npm run build

Set default port number for the app to run on 3333:

1set PORT=3333 # windows
2export PORT=3333 # linux

Test your app with the Sites on your local machine by running the following command in your project’s root directory:

1edgio dev

Load the site http://127.0.0.1:3333

Deploying #

Create a production build of your app by running the following in your project’s root directory:

1npm run build

Deploy your app to the Sites by running the following command in your project’s root directory:

1edgio deploy

Refer to the Deployments guide for more information on the deploy command and its options.

Post Deployment Whitelisting #

Once Sanity Studio is deployed, you will need to add it’s URL to Sanity’s CORS origins settings. You can do this from the command line:

1sanity cors add https://your-url.layer0-limelight.link --credentials

Alternatively, you can navigate to manage.sanity.io, find your project and under Settings > API, add the Studio URL to the CORS origins list. You should allow credentials as the Studio requires authentication for added security.
