Creating a schema for single pages with a page builder in Sanity.io

Hey, what would be the best way to create a schema for one single pages such as Home Page, Contact page.. pages that don't have posts.

I created a document called Pages. This document includes the Page Title, Page Description, Header, and Body. In the last section, I have a page builder called display, where I can dynamically update the page content. I can add a hero section, a content section, a call to action, or a testimonial section and drag and drop in a particular order.

Here is the link I referenced to create the Page Builder

You'll be able to create multiple pages that are each unique

dam that is cool

thanks

can the sections content also be editable?

Yes! The page builder I created is referencing other documents and it also has its own objects that I can create. I'll send an example

thanks that would help a lot

Menu, People, Content is referencing other documents while the Call to Action is an object I created specifically for the page builder

so Objects are like one off section right?

Yes thats correct. I have to import it to index.js to be able to utilize it. It won't show up on the List though since the type is not a document. It is just an object

ah okay makes sense, and can I create like a folder or group for all those section in the cms? like grouping the objects together

Object types won't show on the list, only document types. I put all my objects into a folder and the associated document in the schema folder. That way, I can know what objects are associated with a document. I hope that answered your question.

I don't see a need to display these objects if it's only be used for a specific document. If I were looking to share it with multiple documents, I'd make the type a document instead of an object

Not sure if this setup is the recommended way, but its been working for me, and I find my structure to be more organized now 🙂

An ok thanks yeah that makes sense

But to confirm the user won’t be able to edit the objects using the cms right? In this set up

If I understand right, only when they are creating a document from the list "Pages". They'll have access to the object. Unless you are talking about editing code? Sorry your question confused me a bit

that makes sense thanks for the help 🙂

how do I create the page to be domain/slug instead of domain/pages/slug

Hello You setup routing in your frontend, not within sanity, where I would only set the slug).
I think you have so many questions about setup and structured content / the different schema types, you might want to watch some of our tutorials, so you can get a better understanding of using Sanity
🙂For example with
NextJS or other frameworks, we have a lot of videos you can watch here .
BTW: Object schema definition make it possible to reuse the configuration/definition in other parts of your schemas and embed them into the documents & other objects.
BUT:

objects

cannot be referenced, only documents can, so content is not transferable from

obj

->

obj

. (unless you go through referencing a document and its content.

Which frontend are you using then?

You explained

objects

better. Thanks Saskia! But I would definitely recommend watching tutorials first and following along. That's how I was able to get a grasp on Sanity.

I am using NextJS . I have watched some NextJs videos with sanity but will check what you have linked too

I know starting with a new stack can be frustrating, but getting the basics first will make your progress much faster 🙂You can setup basic routing by just defining a

[slug].tsx

in your

./pages

folder instead of adding it into

./pages/posts/[slug].tsx

the first solution will give you

domain/SPECIFIC_SLUG

while the letter will give you

domain/posts/SPECIFIC_SLUG

hope that helps in the meantime

Happy to help, but you took a lot of time to help out which is much appreciated :sanity_with_3_hearts: And I need to know how to define it 😉 but you did the ground work!

Yeah that makes more sense thank you :)

You will see, when you get the basics, you will have a lot more fun.And if you want to learn GROQ (which is sooooo amazing IMO) i would recommend this here:
