The Best Directory Structure to Use for Next.js and Sanity Projects

For Next & Sanity projects, do folks usually go with the following structure (as Sanity's examples seem to use):

/studio/ folder within a Next.js project

or is there any disadvantage to having something like:

frontend -> nextjs files

studio -> sanity magic ?

we do the second, works fine (each is a yarn workspace though)

Not overly familiar with yarn workspaces / seeing mentions of lerna - but I do think option 2 is the cleaner one. Tryna figure out whether its better to host Studio on vercel alongside frontend, or follow stick with sanitys default deploy location

I prefer everything to be together in one repo, but I typically deploy my studios to a

.sanity.studio

URL (via

sanity deploy

) to keep things easy, and avoid changing base URLs for the studio.

I do the second.

oh one thing about two distinct directories, some services like Netlify can treat each like it’s own site for deploy purposes and it makes this very easy to juggle

Appreciate the input guys! 😎

I currently have 2 separate projects in the same repo, one for studio and one for web. That was the old recommended approach back when I started using Sanity. But I’m curious about this new approach to host the studio as a separate app with Next rewrites.
I tried copying what was set up in the template repo but couldn’t get it working.

I’ll give it another try when my current projects calm down a bit. I kept getting errors when trying to access the studio. The classic

Invalid token <

I think that’s pretty much the setup I had as well. Though I use npm (other than in the studio since sanity pretty much forces yarn on you). That shouldn’t be it though, right?
