How to Ignore Files when Deploying on Vercel

if I put the file in gitignore, vercel wouldn't be able to get the file either when building right?

projectId is fine to expose, though if you’d like to hide them you can put them in a env variables (next loads env from a .env.local file)

thanks for the reply. I tried that but vercel is giving an error on build. Since I put env file on gitignore, I dont think it can find projectid value from github

yeah, your env should be specified per environment — you can add env on vercel so it’s available there

oh nice! didnt knew I could do that. Thanks alot

good luck w your project!

thanks, it was an old project. came back to today and found that projectid in my github visible lol

so build was successful on vercel but data is not coming from sanity now....

can you show the code where you initiate the client?

all of my code is on github

are you using the sanity client on the client side as well? you should prefix the var name with

NEXT_PUBLIC

i.e

NEXT_PUBLIC_PROJECT_ID

import sanityClient from '@sanity/client'
export default sanityClient({
  projectId: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_PROJECT_ID, 
  dataset: 'production',
  useCdn: true
})

so its like that?

yeah

yeah it worked! thanks
