Get started

Join us for a hands-on workshop where we'll show you how to level up your React skills to build a high-performance headless website using Next.js, Sanity, and the JAMstack architecture. No prior knowledge of Next.js or Sanity is required, making this workshop ideal for anyone familiar with React who wants to learn more about building dynamic, responsive websites.

In this workshop, we'll explore how Next.js, a React-based framework, can be used to build a static website with server-side rendering and dynamic routing. You'll learn how to use Sanity as a headless CMS to manage your website’s content, create custom page templates with Next.js, use APIs to integrate with the CMS, and deploy your website to production with Vercel.

By the end of this workshop, you will have a solid understanding of how Next.js and Sanity.io can be used together to create a high-performance, scalable, and flexible website.

This workshop has been presented at React Summit 2023, check out the latest edition of this React Conference.

FAQ

Headless architecture refers to a setup where the front-end presentation layer is completely decoupled from the back-end content management system (CMS). The data is served to the site via an API, allowing developers to use any framework or technology for the front end while managing content separately in the CMS.

Using a headless CMS offers several benefits including being framework agnostic, which allows developers to use any front-end technology. It's highly customizable, supports SEO and performance optimizations, and the content can be reused across various digital platforms and devices efficiently.

To set up a repository for a Next.js and Sanity project, you typically fork and clone a starter repo, run 'npm install' to install dependencies, and use provided scripts to launch development environments for Storybook, the app, and Sanity.

Sanity is an API-based, headless CMS that allows for real-time editing and customization of content models. It supports a rich editor interface and provides a built-in preview functionality to see changes in real-time before publishing.

Next.js is a React framework used for building web applications. It supports features like static site generation, server-side rendering, and dynamic routing, which help in building fast and efficient web applications.

Deployment on Vercel for a Next.js application involves linking your GitHub repository with Vercel, setting up environment variables, and configuring webhooks to trigger rebuilds on content updates. Vercel automates the deployment process and provides a live URL for the hosted application.

Storybook is an open-source tool for developing UI components in isolation. It allows developers to build and test UI components interactively without needing to integrate them into a web app, making the development process faster and more efficient.

Data from Sanity can be queried in a Next.js project using Sanity's Grok query language. You can write queries to fetch specific data like page paths or content, which can then be used to dynamically generate pages or populate components in the application.

Featured Workshop

Eve Porcello

Knowledge of AI tooling is critical for future-proofing the careers of React developers, and the Vercel suite of AI tools is an approachable on-ramp. In this course, we’ll take a closer look at the Vercel AI SDK and how this can help React developers build streaming interfaces with JavaScript and Next.js. We’ll also incorporate additional 3rd party APIs to build and deploy a music visualization app.
Topics:- Creating a React Project with Next.js- Choosing a LLM- Customizing Streaming Interfaces- Building Routes- Creating and Generating Components - Using Hooks (useChat, useCompletion, useActions, etc)

Frontend issues that affect your users are often triggered by backend problems. In this workshop, you’ll learn how to identify issues causing slow web pages and poor Core Web Vitals using tracing.
Then, try it for yourself by setting up Sentry in a ready-made Next.js project to discover performance issues including slow database queries in an interactive pair-programming session.
You’ll leave the workshop being able to:- Find backend issues that might be slowing down your frontend apps- Setup tracing with Sentry in a Next.js project- Debug and fix poor performance issues using tracing
This will be a live 2-hour event where you’ll have the opportunity to code along with us and ask us questions.

Ondrej Polesny

In this workshop, first, we’ll go over the different ways you can consume APIs in React. Then, we’ll test each one by fetching content from a headless CMS (with both REST and GraphQL) and checking in detail how they work.
While there is no advanced React knowledge required, this is going to be a hands-on session, so you’ll need to clone a preconfigured GitHub repository and utilize your preferred React programming editor, like VS Code.
You will learn:- What diverse data fetching options there are in React- What are advantages and disadvantages of each- What are the typical use cases and when each strategy is more beneficial than others

Routing in React 18 and Beyond

Top Content

Delba de Oliveira

Senior Developer Advocate @ Vercel

Routing in React 18 brings a native app-like user experience and allows applications to transition between different environments. React Router and Next.js have different approaches to routing, with React Router using component-based routing and Next.js using file system-based routing. React server components provide the primitives to address the disadvantages of multipage applications while maintaining the same user experience. Improving navigation and routing in React involves including loading UI, pre-rendering parts of the screen, and using server components for more performant experiences. Next.js and Remix are moving towards a converging solution by combining component-based routing with file system routing.

React query version five is live and we'll be discussing the migration process to server components using Next.js and React Query. The process involves planning, preparing, and setting up server components, migrating pages, adding layouts, and moving components to the server. We'll also explore the benefits of server components such as reducing JavaScript shipping, enabling powerful caching, and leveraging the features of the app router. Additionally, we'll cover topics like handling authentication, rendering in server components, and the impact on server load and costs.
