## About

# Sanity Next.js Revalidation

Make **Publish in Studio** update the **Next.js** site reliably.

## Ask first

- Next App Router or Pages?  
- Hosting (Vercel / other)?  
- Existing webhook? Secret header name?  
- Using `fetch` tags, `unstable_cache`, or only `revalidate` seconds?

## Recommended pattern (App Router)

### 1. Tag fetches

```ts
fetch(sanityUrl, { next: { tags: ["sanity"] } });
// or sanityFetch wrapper that tags by document type
```

### 2. Route handler

`app/api/revalidate/sanity/route.ts` (or similar):

- Verify `SANITY_REVALIDATE_SECRET` (header or query)  
- Parse webhook body (`_type`, `_id`, slug)  
- Call `revalidateTag("sanity")` and/or type-specific tags  
- Optionally `revalidatePath` for known routes  
- Return 401 on bad secret, 200 on success  

### 3. Sanity webhook

- Dataset: production  
- Trigger: create / update / delete (and ideally published documents)  
- Filter: optional by `_type`  
- URL: `https://yoursite.com/api/revalidate/sanity?secret=…`  
- Projection: minimal `_id,_type,slug`  

### 4. Env

- `SANITY_REVALIDATE_SECRET` — server only  
- Never expose write token to the browser  

## Debugging “I published but site unchanged”

1. Did they click **Publish** (not only Save)?  
2. Webhook deliveries in Sanity manage → success?  
3. Handler logs 200? Secret mismatch?  
4. Fetch using tags that the handler revalidates?  
5. ISR/`revalidate: N` still serving stale edge cache — wait or purge  
6. Wrong dataset (staging content vs prod site)?  

## Anti-patterns

- Revalidate every path on every webhook (slow/expensive) without tags  
- Secret in client bundle  
- Relying only on `revalidate: 60` for editorial sites that need instant updates  

## Deliverable

Webhook config · route handler path · tags used · test Publish checklist.
