When filtering the list view, removing the final condition from the
query closes the "where" builder entirely. This forces the user to
re-open the filter controls and begin adding conditions from the start.
### What?
Adds new option `admin.components.listControlsMenu` to allow custom
components to be injected after the existing list controls in the
collection list view.
### Why?
Needed to facilitate import/export plugin.
#### Preview & Testing
Use `pnpm dev admin` to see example component and see test added to
`test/admin/e2e/list-view`.

When filtering the list view using conditions on a relationship field,
clearing the value from the field would leave it in the query despite
being removed from the component.
Adds a new `addListFilter` e2e helper. This will help to standardize
this common functionality across all tests that require filtering list
tables and help reduce the overall lines of code within each test file.
### What?
This PR adds tests for custom list view components to the existing suite
in `admin/e2e/list-view/`. Custom components are already tested in the
document-level counterpart, and should be tested here as well.
### Why?
Previously, there were no tests for these list view components.
Refactors, features, or changes that impact the importMap, default list
view, etc., could affect how these components get rendered. It's safer
to have tests in place to catch this as custom list view components, in
general, are used quite often.
### How?
This PR adds 5 simple tests that check for the rendering of the
following list view components:
- `BeforeList`
- `BeforeListTable`
- `UI Field Cell`
- `AfterList`
- `AfterListTable`
### What?
Adds new feature to change the default behavior of the Publish button.
When localization is enabled, you can now choose whether to publish all
locales (default) or publish the active locale only.

src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/757383b9-3bf9-4816-8223-a907b120912e">
### Why?
Since implementing the ability to publish a specific locale, users have
reported that having this option as the default button would be
preferred in some cases.
### How?
Add `defaultLocalePublishOption` to your localization config and set it
to 'active':
```ts
localization: {
defaultLocalePublishOption: 'active',
// the rest of your localization config
},
```

Field validations currently run very often, such as within form state on
type. This can lead to serious performance implications within the admin
panel if those validation functions are async, especially if they
perform expensive database queries. One glaring example of this is how
all relationship and upload fields perform a database lookup in order to
evaluate that the given value(s) satisfy the defined filter options. If
the field is polymorphic, this can happen multiple times over, one for
each collection. Similarly, custom validation functions might also
perform expensive tasks, something that Payload has no control over.
The fix here is two-fold. First, we now provide a new `event` arg to all
`validate` functions that allow you to opt-in to performing expensive
operations _only when documents are submitted_, and fallback to
significantly more performant validations as form state is generated.
This new pattern will be the new default for relationship and upload
fields, however, any custom validation functions will need to be
implemented in this way in order to take advantage of it. Here's what
that might look like:
```
[
// ...
{
name: 'text'
type: 'text',
validate: async (value, { event }) => {
if (event === 'onChange') {
// Do something highly performant here
return true
}
// Do something more expensive here
return true
}
}
]
```
The second part of this is to only run validations _after the form as
been submitted_, and then every change event thereafter. This work is
being done in #10580.
- Fixes collection and tab descriptions not having a bottom padding:
- Deprecates `description` on tabs config in favour of
`admin.description` but supports both
- Adds test to make sure `admin.description` renders with static string
and function too for tabs
Following https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/pull/10551, I found and
fixed a handful more bugs:
- When writing to the input, the results that were already there were
not cleaned, causing incorrect results to appear.
- the scroll was causing an infinite loop that showed repeated elements
- optimization: only the required field is selected (not required)
- refs are set to the initial value to avoid a state where nothing can
be searched
Fixes#10018. When toggling columns, then sorting them, the table is
reset to the collection's default columns instead of the user's
preferred columns. This is because when sorting columns, a stale
client-side cache of the user's preferences is used to update their sort
preference. This is because when column state is constructed
server-side, it completely bypasses the client-side cache. To fix this,
sort preferences are now also set on the server right alongside column
preferences, which performs an upsert-like operation to ensure that no
existing preferences are lost.
This PR adds a button to the `/account` view which allows users to reset
their preferences on-demand. This is to that editors can quickly reset their
preferences via the admin ui without the need of accessing the db directly,
which was simply not possible before. To do this, we add a new button at
the bottom of the account view which performs a standard `DELETE`
request using the REST API to the `'payload-preferences'` collection.

Fixes#10234. Some fields, such as focal point fields for upload enabled
collections, were rendering in the condition selector despite being
hidden from the column selector. This was because the logic for the
column selector was filtering fields without labels, but the same was
not being done for the filter conditions. This, however, is not a good
way to filter these fields as it requires this specific logic to be
written in multiple places. Instead, they need to explicitly check for
`hidden` and `disabled` in addition to `disableListFilter` and
`disableListColumn`. The actual filtering logic has been improved across
the two instances as well, removing multiple duplicative loops.
This change has also exposed a underlying issue with the way columns
were handled within the table columns provider. When row selections were
enabled, the selector columns were present in column state. This caused
problems when interacting with column indices, such as when reordering
columns. Instead of needing to manually filter these out every time we
need to work with column state, they no longer appear there in the first
place. Instead, we inject the row selectors directly into the table
itself, completely isolating these row selectors from the column state.
There were a handful of list view e2e tests written into the text and
email field test suite, making them hard to find as they were isolated
from other related tests. A few of these tests were also duplicative
across suites, making CI run them twice unnecessarily.
Improves the admin e2e test splitting by grouping them by type with
semantic names as opposed to numerically. This will provide much needed
clarity to exactly _where_ new admin tests should be written and help to
quickly distinguish the areas of failure within the CI overview.
When using various controls within the List View, those selections are
sometimes not persisted. This is especially evident when selecting
`perPage` from the List View, where the URL and UI would reflect this
selection, but the controls would be stale. Similarly, after changing
`perPage` then navigating to another page through the pagination
controls, `perPage` would reset back to the original value. Same with
the sort controls, where sorting by a particular column would not be
reflected in the UI. This was because although we modify the URL search
params and fire off a new query with those changes, we were not updating
local component state.
Although we have a dedicated e2e test suite for custom IDs, tests for
custom unnamed tab and row IDs were still located within the admin test
suite. This consolidates these tests into the appropriate test suite as
expected.
### What?
Previously, the `admin.group` property on `collection` / `global`
configs allowed for a custom group and the `admin.hidden` property would
not only hide the entity from the nav sidebar / dashboard but also
disable its routes.
### Why?
There was not a simple way to hide an entity from the nav sidebar /
dashboard but still keep the entities routes.
### How?
Now - we've added the `false` type to the `admin.group` field to account
for this.
Passing `false` to `admin.group` will hide the entity from the sidebar
nav and dashboard but keep the routes available to navigate.
I.e
```
admin: {
group: false,
},
```
Continuation of #9846 and partial fix for #9774. When setting
`admin.disableListFilter` retroactively, it remains active within the
list filter controls. Same for when the URL search query contains one of
these fields, except this will actually display the _wrong_ field,
falling back to the _first_ field from the config. The fix is to
properly disable the condition for this field if it's an active filter,
while still preventing it from ever rendering as an option within the
field selector itself.
Partial fix for #9774. When `admin.disableListColumn` is set
retroactively, it continues to appear in column state, but shouldn't.
This was because the table column context was not refreshing after HMR
runs, and would instead hold onto these stale columns until the page
itself refreshes. Similarly, this was also a problem when the user had
saved any of these columns to their list preferences, where those prefs
would take precedence despite these properties being set on the
underlying fields. The fix is to filter these columns from all requests
that send them, and ensure local component state properly refreshes
itself.
### What?
It became possible for fields to reset to a defined `defaultValue` when
bulk editing from the `edit-many` drawer.
### Why?
The form-state of all fields were being considered during a bulk edit -
this also meant using their initial states - this meant any fields with
default values or nested fields (`arrays`) would be overwritten with
their initial states
I.e. empty values or default values.
### How?
Now - we only send through the form data of the fields specifically
being edited in the edit-many drawer and ignore all other fields.
Leaving all other fields stay their current values.

Closes#9132. When query params are present in the URL, such as after
searching or filtering in the list view, they are not being retained
after navigating back to that view via `history.back()` (i.e. the back
button). This makes it difficult to quickly navigate in and out of
documents from the list view when an underlying search exists. This was
because the `SearchParamsProvider` is stale when the new view renders,
which then replaces the URL with these stale params. The fix here is to
_not_ use the `SearchParamsProvider` at all, and instead use
`next/navigation` directly. Ultimately, this provider should likely be
marked deprecated and then removed in the next major release for this
very reason.
Deprecates `react-animate-height` in favor of native CSS, specifically
the `interpolate-size: allow-keywords;` property which can be used to
animate to `height: auto`—the primary reason this package exists. This
is one less dependency in our `node_modules`. Tried to replicate the
current DOM structure, class names, and API of `react-animate-height`
for best compatibility.
Note that this CSS property is experimental BUT this PR includes a patch
for browsers without native support. Once full support is reached, the
patch can be safely removed.
When defining custom providers as server components, they currently do
not receive any of the server props that custom components expect to
receive, like `payload`, `i18n`, `user`, and so on.
The biggest difference comes from calling `RenderServerComponent` as a
function, instead of rendering it by using `<RenderServerComponent`.
This gets rid of wasteful blocks of codes sent to the client that look
like this:
HTML size comparison:
## Admin test suite
| View | Before | After |

| Dashboard | 331 kB | 83 kB |
| collections/custom-views-one Edit | 285 kB | 76.6 kB |
## Fields test suite

### What?
Ensures `path` is required and only present on the fields that expect it
(all fields except row).
Deprecates `useFieldComponents` and `FieldComponentsProvider` and
instead extends the RenderField component to account for all field
types. This also improves type safety within `RenderField`.
### Why?
`path` being optional just adds DX overhead and annoyance.
### How?
Added `FieldPaths` type which is added to iterable field types. Placed
`path` back onto the ClientFieldBase type.
Currently, Payload renders all custom components on initial compile of
the admin panel. This is problematic for two key reasons:
1. Custom components do not receive contextual data, i.e. fields do not
receive their field data, edit views do not receive their document data,
etc.
2. Components are unnecessarily rendered before they are used
This was initially required to support React Server Components within
the Payload Admin Panel for two key reasons:
1. Fields can be dynamically rendered within arrays, blocks, etc.
2. Documents can be recursively rendered within a "drawer" UI, i.e.
relationship fields
3. Payload supports server/client component composition
In order to achieve this, components need to be rendered on the server
and passed as "slots" to the client. Currently, the pattern for this is
to render custom server components in the "client config". Then when a
view or field is needed to be rendered, we first check the client config
for a "pre-rendered" component, otherwise render our client-side
fallback component.
But for the reasons listed above, this pattern doesn't exactly make
custom server components very useful within the Payload Admin Panel,
which is where this PR comes in. Now, instead of pre-rendering all
components on initial compile, we're able to render custom components
_on demand_, only as they are needed.
To achieve this, we've established [this
pattern](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/pull/8481) of React
Server Functions in the Payload Admin Panel. With Server Functions, we
can iterate the Payload Config and return JSX through React's
`text/x-component` content-type. This means we're able to pass
contextual props to custom components, such as data for fields and
views.
## Breaking Changes
1. Add the following to your root layout file, typically located at
`(app)/(payload)/layout.tsx`:
```diff
/* THIS FILE WAS GENERATED AUTOMATICALLY BY PAYLOAD. */
/* DO NOT MODIFY IT BECAUSE IT COULD BE REWRITTEN AT ANY TIME. */
+ import type { ServerFunctionClient } from 'payload'
import config from '@payload-config'
import { RootLayout } from '@payloadcms/next/layouts'
import { handleServerFunctions } from '@payloadcms/next/utilities'
import React from 'react'
import { importMap } from './admin/importMap.js'
import './custom.scss'
type Args = {
children: React.ReactNode
}
+ const serverFunctions: ServerFunctionClient = async function (args) {
+ 'use server'
+ return handleServerFunctions({
+ ...args,
+ config,
+ importMap,
+ })
+ }
const Layout = ({ children }: Args) => (
<RootLayout
config={config}
importMap={importMap}
+ serverFunctions={serverFunctions}
>
{children}
</RootLayout>
)
export default Layout
```
2. If you were previously posting to the `/api/form-state` endpoint, it
no longer exists. Instead, you'll need to invoke the `form-state` Server
Function, which can be done through the _new_ `getFormState` utility:
```diff
- import { getFormState } from '@payloadcms/ui'
- const { state } = await getFormState({
- apiRoute: '',
- body: {
- // ...
- },
- serverURL: ''
- })
+ const { getFormState } = useServerFunctions()
+
+ const { state } = await getFormState({
+ // ...
+ })
```
## Breaking Changes
```diff
- useFieldProps()
- useCellProps()
```
More details coming soon.

This PR aims to fix a few issues with the notFound page and custom views
so it matches v2 behaviour:
- Non authorised users should always be redirected to the login page
regardless if not found or valid URL
- Previously notFound would render for non users too potentially
exposing valid but protected routes and creating a confusing workflow as
the UI was being rendered as well
- Custom views are now public by default
- in our `admin` test suite, the `/admin/public-custom-view` is
accessible to non users but
`/admin/public-custom-view/protected-nested-view` is not unless the
checkbox is true in the Settings global, there's e2e coverage for this
- Fixes https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/8716
Fixes https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/8205
Adds `resetColumnsState` method to `useTableColumns` return
Example of a `BeforeList` component for column state reset:
```ts
'use client'
import { Pill, useTableColumns } from '@payloadcms/ui'
function ResetDefaultColumnsButton() {
const { resetColumnsState } = useTableColumns()
return <Pill onClick={resetColumnsState}>Reset to default columns</Pill>
}
export { ResetDefaultColumnsButton }
```
Additionally, fixes that `setActiveColumns` didn't respect the passed
order of columns and didn't update the UI immediately
## Description
Adds `admin.components.header` option to allow users to insert custom
components in the page header / top of page.

## Description
Currently, you cannot create, delete, or duplicate documents within the
document drawer directly. To create a document within a relationship
field, for example, you must first navigate to the parent field and open
the "create new" drawer. Similarly (but worse), to duplicate or delete a
document, you must _navigate to the parent document to perform these
actions_ which is incredibly disruptive to the content editing workflow.
This becomes especially apparent within the relationship field where you
can edit documents inline, but cannot duplicate or delete them. This PR
supports all document-level actions within the document drawer so that
these actions can be performed on-the-fly without navigating away.
Inline duplication flow on a polymorphic "hasOne" relationship:

## Description
Currently, the relationship field's _value(s)_ each render and controls
its own document drawer. This has led to `hasMany` relationships
processing a potentially large number of drawers unnecessarily. But the
real problem is when attempting to perform side-effects as a result of a
drawer action. Currently, when you change the value of a relationship
field, all drawers within are (rightfully) unmounted because the
component representing the value was itself unmounted. This meant that
you could not update the title of a document, for example, then update
the underlying field's value, without also closing the document drawer
outright. This is needed in order to support things like creating and
duplicating documents within document drawers (#7679).

## Description
Closes#7784 by properly handling custom collection description
components via `admin.components.Description`. This component was
incorrectly added to the `admin.components.edit` key, and also was never
handled on the front-end. This was especially misleading because the
client-side config had a duplicative key in the proper position.
## Breaking Changes
This PR is only labeled as a breaking change because the key has changed
position within the config. If you were previously defining a custom
description component on a collection, simply move it into the correct
position:
Old:
```ts
{
admin: {
components: {
edit: {
Description: ''
}
}
}
}
```
New:
```ts
{
admin: {
components: {
Description: ''
}
}
}

## Description
Threads the field config to all "field subcomponents" through props,
i.e. field label, description, error, etc. This way, the field config
that controls any particular component is easily accessible and strongly
typed, i.e. `props.field.maxLength`. This is true for both server and
client components, whose server-side props are now also contextually
typed. This behavior was temporarily removed in #7474 due to bloating
HTML, but has since been resolved in #7620. This PR also makes
significant improvements to component types by exporting explicit types
for _every component of every field_, each with its own client/server
variation. Now, a custom component can look something like this:
```tsx
import type { TextFieldLabelServerComponent } from 'payload'
import React from 'react'
export const CustomLabel: TextFieldLabelServerComponent = (props) => {
return (
<div>{`The max length of this field is: ${props?.field?.maxLength}`}</div>
)
}
```
The following types are now available:
```ts
import type {
TextFieldClientComponent,
TextFieldServerComponent,
TextFieldLabelClientComponent,
TextFieldLabelServerComponent,
TextFieldDescriptionClientComponent,
TextFieldDescriptionServerComponent,
TextFieldErrorClientComponent,
TextFieldErrorServerComponent,
// ...and so one for each field
} from 'payload'
```
BREAKING CHANGES:
In order to strictly type these components, a few breaking changes have
been made _solely to type definitions_. This only effects you if you are
heavily using custom components.
Old
```ts
import type { ErrorComponent, LabelComponent, DescriptionComponent } from 'payload'
```
New:
```ts
import type {
FieldErrorClientComponent,
FieldErrorServerComponent,
FieldLabelClientComponent,
FieldLabelServerComponent,
FieldDescriptionClientComponent,
FieldDescriptionServerComponent,
// Note: these are the generic, underlying types of the more stricter types described above ^
// For example, you should use the type that is explicit for your particular field and environment
// i.e. `TextFieldLabelClientComponent` and not simply `FieldLabelClientComponent`
} from 'payload'
