Hey guys! I want to import a link from my database to the project. What is the easiest and quickest way to do it?

This doesnt seem to work:
Jul 26, 2022, 2:04 AM
const query = ‘*[ _type == “users” ]{linkTree, walletAddress}’ client.fetch(query)
console.log(linkTree)

client.fetch
returns a promise. You need to
.then
it or
await
it.

I was able to console.log and it’s reading it . Now I need to send it to the link statement so the user can access the custom link

To where ‘/’ is displayed

Mornin’ Sanity! Hope you guys are doing well. Can someone check this thread and help me to figure how to export the fetch to the statement?

It’s going to depend a lot on which framework you’re using.

I’m using next.js right now. I have tried everything and nothing is really working at all.

Alright, in Next.js you’d do your query in
getStaticProps
and you would pass down the props to your component.

did you look at the NextJS docs and tutorials? They are really good 😉
As an example from their
data fetching site :
// A very useful library 😉
import { groq } from "next-sanity";


// this 👇 is your page
function Blog({ posts }) {
  return (
    <ul>
      {posts.map((post) => (
        <li>{post.title}</li>
      ))}
    </ul>
  )
}

// This function gets called at build time on server-side.
// It won't be called on client-side, so you can even do
// direct database queries.

// This is your data fetching 👇
export async function getStaticProps() {

  // You would use groq here to get your sanity data
  const res = await fetch(YOUR_QUERY)
  const posts = await res.json()

  // By returning { props: { posts } }, the Blog component
  // will receive `posts` as a prop at build time
  return {
    props: {
      posts,
    },
  }
}

export default Blog
Hope that helps
🙂

I actually used these tutorials and they really helped me with understanding it. However I had to do a little bit of a mix with another method because for some reason it was giving me an undefined, so I put what’s supposed to be ‘getStaticProps()’ under a class and then on a useEffect.
