    Kirby/JSON Sanity Content Migration

    (2022-06-13T21:13:00.000Z)

    For the relaunch of one of our clients we switched the content management system from Kirby to Sanity. In our case the old CMS was still running on Kirby 2 which does not provide any kind of API.

    Our approach was to generate JSON with the necessary content structure from Kirby and a node.js script which would download all content/images and use the Sanity JavaScript Client to upload these to the new CMS.

    In our case we had to process projects with simple text and an image gallery from a portfolio website. The script consists of several async functions to

    1. Create the Sanity document
    2. Fill in all basic information (Title, Text)
    3. Download all images from the project
    4. Upload all images to Sanity
    5. Connect the uploaded images with the image gallery/array

    The Script

    You can find the a sample setup with Kirby and Sanity example, plus the script in our GitHub Repo.
