Fixes https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/6884
Adds a new flag `acceptIDOnCreate` that allows you to thread your own
`id` to `payload.create` `data`, for example:
```ts
// doc created with id 1
const doc = await payload.create({ collection: 'posts', data: {id: 1, title: "my title"}})
```
```ts
import { Types } from 'mongoose'
const id = new Types.ObjectId().toHexString()
const doc = await payload.create({ collection: 'posts', data: {id, title: "my title"}})
```
- Introduces a new lexical => plaintext converter
- Introduces a new lexical <=> markdown converter
- Restructures converter docs. Each conversion type gets its own docs
pag
### What?
Adds a new property to collection / global config `forceSelect` which
can be used to ensure that some fields are always selected, regardless
of the `select` query.
### Why?
This can be beneficial for hooks and access control, for example imagine
you need the value of `data.slug` in your hook.
With the following query it would be `undefined`:
`?select[title]=true`
Now, to solve this you can specify
```
forceSelect: {
slug: true
}
```
### How?
Every operation now merges the incoming `select` with
`collectionConfig.forceSelect`.
Based on the current `packages/ui/src/providers/DocumentInfo/types.ts`.
- Removes properties like `versions`, `unpublishedVersions`,
`publishedDoc`, `getVersions` from the docs, which were listed in the
docs, but not in the type definition.
- Adds properties like `savedDocumentData`, `setCurrentEditor`,
`setDocFieldPreferences`, etc., which are in the type definition, but
which were missing in the docs.
- Fixes that the description for `getDocPermissions` said it retrieves
"user preferences", but should be about permissions.
We now have the ability to define all page metadata for the admin panel
via the Payload Config as a result of #11593. This means we can now set
sensible defaults for additional properties, e.g. `noindex` and
`nofollow` on the `robots` property. Setting this will prevent these
pages from being indexed and appearing in search results.
Note that setting this property prevents _indexing_ these pages, but
does not prevent them from being _crawled_. To prevent crawling as well,
you must add a standalone `robots.txt` file to your root directory.
Fixes#9858
# The problems
There were several issues with custom i18n typing in the documentation
that were not detected because they did not occur in non-strict ts mode.
1. `Config['i18n']['translations']` didn't work, because i18n is an
optional property. As described in
[#9858](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/9858#issuecomment-2555814771),
some users were getting around this with
`NonNullable<Config['i18n']>['translations']`
2. [The trick being attempted in
`i18n`](36e152d69d/packages/payload/src/config/types.ts (L1034))
to customize and extend the `DefaultTranslationObject` does not work.
`i18n?: I18nOptions<{} | DefaultTranslationsObject> // loosen the type
here to allow for custom translations`.
If you want to verify this, you can use the following code example:
```ts
import type { Config } from 'payload'
const translation: NonNullable<Config['i18n']>['translations'] = {
en: {
authentication: {
aaaaa: 'aaaaa', // I chose `authentication.aaaa` to appear first in intellisense
}
},
}
translation.en?.authentication // Property 'authentication' does not
// exist on type '{} | { authentication: { account: string...
// so this option doesn't let you access the keys because of the join with `{}`,
// and even if it did, it's not adding `aaaa` as a key.
```
3. In places where the `t` function is exposed in a callback, you cannot
do what the documentation says:
`{ t }: { t: TFunction<CustomTranslationsKeys | DefaultTranslationKeys>
}`
The reason for this is that the callback is exposed as a `LabelFunction`
type but without type arguments, and as a default it uses
`DefaultTranslationKeys`, which does not allow additional keys.
If you want to verify this, you can use the following code example:
```ts
// Make sure to test this with ts in strict mode
const _labelFn: LabelFunction = ({ t }: { t: TFunction<'extraKey' | DefaultTranslationKeys> }) => ""
// Type '"extraKey"' is not assignable to type
// '"authentication:account" | ... 441 more ... | "version:versionCount"'.
```
# The solution
Point 1 is a documentation issue. We could use `NonNullable`, or expose
the `I18nOptions` type, or simply not define the custom translation type
(which makes sense because if you put it in the config, ts will warn you
anyway).
Points 2 and 3 should ideally be corrected at the type level, but it
would imply a breaking change.
For now, I have corrected them at the documentation level, using an
alternative for point 2 and a type cast for point 3.
Maybe in payload v4 we should revisit this.
Payload now fully exposes Next.js' metadata options. You can now use the
`admin.meta` config to set any properties that Next.js supports and
Payload will inject them into its `generateMetadata` function call. The
`MetaConfig` provided by Payload now directly extends the `Metadata`
type from Next.js.
Although `admin.meta` has always been available, it only supported a
subset of options, such as `title`, `openGraph`, etc., but was lacking
properties like `robots`, etc.
This PR updates the field `validate` function property to include a new
`path` argument.
The `path` arg provides the schema path of the field, including array
indices where applicable.
#### Changes:
- Added `path: (number | string)[]` in the ValidateOptions type.
### What?
Adds new option to disable the `copy to locale` button, adds description
to docs and adds e2e test.
### Why?
Client request.
### How?
The option can be used like this:
```ts
// in collection config
admin: {
disableCopyToLocale: true,
},
```
This change makes so that data that exists in MongoDB but isn't defined
in the Payload config won't be included to `payload.find` /
`payload.db.find` calls. Now we strip all the additional keys.
Consider you have a field named `secretField` that's also `hidden: true`
(or `read: () => false`) that contains some sensitive data. Then you
removed this field from the database and as for now with the MongoDB
adapter this field will be included to the Local API / REST API results
without any consideration, as Payload doesn't know about it anymore.
This also fixes https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/11542 if
you removed / renamed a relationship field from the schema, Payload
won't sanitize ObjectIDs back to strings anymore.
Ideally you should create a migration script that completely removes the
deleted field from the database with `$unset`, but people rarely do
this.
If you still need to keep those fields to the result, this PR allows you
to do this with the new `allowAdditionalKeys: true` flag.
Deprecates the old HTML converter and introduces a new one that functions similarly to our Lexical => JSX converter.
The old converter had the following limitations:
- It imported the entire lexical bundle
- It was challenging to implement. The sanitized lexical editor config had to be passed in as an argument, which was difficult to obtain
- It only worked on the server
This new HTML converter is lightweight, user-friendly, and works on both server and client. Instead of retrieving HTML converters from the editor config, they can be explicitly provided to the converter function.
By default, the converter expects populated data to function properly. If you need to use unpopulated data (e.g., when running it from a hook), you also have the option to use the async HTML converter, exported from `@payloadcms/richtext-lexical/html-async`, and provide a `populate` function - this function will then be used to dynamically populate nodes during the conversion process.
## Example 1 - generating HTML in your frontend
```tsx
'use client'
import type { SerializedEditorState } from '@payloadcms/richtext-lexical/lexical'
import { convertLexicalToHTML } from '@payloadcms/richtext-lexical/html'
import React from 'react'
export const MyComponent = ({ data }: { data: SerializedEditorState }) => {
const html = convertLexicalToHTML({ data })
return <div dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{ __html: html }} />
}
```
## Example - converting Lexical Blocks
```tsx
'use client'
import type { MyInlineBlock, MyTextBlock } from '@/payload-types'
import type {
DefaultNodeTypes,
SerializedBlockNode,
SerializedInlineBlockNode,
} from '@payloadcms/richtext-lexical'
import type { SerializedEditorState } from '@payloadcms/richtext-lexical/lexical'
import {
convertLexicalToHTML,
type HTMLConvertersFunction,
} from '@payloadcms/richtext-lexical/html'
import React from 'react'
type NodeTypes =
| DefaultNodeTypes
| SerializedBlockNode<MyTextBlock>
| SerializedInlineBlockNode<MyInlineBlock>
const htmlConverters: HTMLConvertersFunction<NodeTypes> = ({ defaultConverters }) => ({
...defaultConverters,
blocks: {
// Each key should match your block's slug
myTextBlock: ({ node, providedCSSString }) =>
`<div style="background-color: red;${providedCSSString}">${node.fields.text}</div>`,
},
inlineBlocks: {
// Each key should match your inline block's slug
myInlineBlock: ({ node, providedStyleTag }) =>
`<span${providedStyleTag}>${node.fields.text}</span$>`,
},
})
export const MyComponent = ({ data }: { data: SerializedEditorState }) => {
const html = convertLexicalToHTML({
converters: htmlConverters,
data,
})
return <div dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{ __html: html }} />
}
```
## Example 3 - outputting HTML from the collection
```ts
import type { HTMLConvertersFunction } from '@payloadcms/richtext-lexical/html'
import type { MyTextBlock } from '@/payload-types.js'
import type { CollectionConfig } from 'payload'
import {
BlocksFeature,
type DefaultNodeTypes,
lexicalEditor,
lexicalHTMLField,
type SerializedBlockNode,
} from '@payloadcms/richtext-lexical'
const Pages: CollectionConfig = {
slug: 'pages',
fields: [
{
name: 'nameOfYourRichTextField',
type: 'richText',
editor: lexicalEditor(),
},
lexicalHTMLField({
htmlFieldName: 'nameOfYourRichTextField_html',
lexicalFieldName: 'nameOfYourRichTextField',
}),
{
name: 'customRichText',
type: 'richText',
editor: lexicalEditor({
features: ({ defaultFeatures }) => [
...defaultFeatures,
BlocksFeature({
blocks: [
{
interfaceName: 'MyTextBlock',
slug: 'myTextBlock',
fields: [
{
name: 'text',
type: 'text',
},
],
},
],
}),
],
}),
},
lexicalHTMLField({
htmlFieldName: 'customRichText_html',
lexicalFieldName: 'customRichText',
// can pass in additional converters or override default ones
converters: (({ defaultConverters }) => ({
...defaultConverters,
blocks: {
myTextBlock: ({ node, providedCSSString }) =>
`<div style="background-color: red;${providedCSSString}">${node.fields.text}</div>`,
},
})) as HTMLConvertersFunction<DefaultNodeTypes | SerializedBlockNode<MyTextBlock>>,
}),
],
}
```
Adds a new `admin.disableBlockName` property that allows you to disable
the blockName field entirely in the admin view. It defaults to false for
backwards compatibility.

-->
### What?
This PR removes two links from a time where there was two distinct
live-preview examples. It also adjusts links for CORS and CSRF to a more
appropriate location in the docs.
### Why?
Now there's only the App Router example, so direct users there instead.
### How?
Changes to `docs/live-preview/client.mdx`
This PR updates the field `condition` function property to include a new
`path` argument.
The `path` arg provides the schema path of the field, including array
indices where applicable.
#### Changes:
- Added `path: (number | string)[]` in the Condition type.
- Updated relevant condition checks to ensure correct parameter usage.
### What?
This PR adds ability to define indexes on several fields for collections
(compound indexes).
Example:
```ts
{
indexes: [{ unique: true, fields: ['title', 'group.name'] }]
}
```
### Why?
This can be used to either speed up querying/sorting by 2 or more fields
at the same time or to ensure uniqueness between several fields.
### How?
Implements this logic in database adapters. Additionally, adds a utility
`getFieldByPath`.
By default, Payload only attempts to locate the import map file in the following locations:
- `src/app/(payload)/{adminroute}/importMap.js`
- `app/(payload)/{adminroute}/importMap.js`
This is fine for most projects, but sometimes you may want to place the import map - or the Payload admin directory - somewhere else.
This PR adds a new `importMapFile` property that allows you to override this heuristic and specify your own import map path.
### What
Clarifies that `sharp` must be specified in payload config for image
resizing & cropping to work. Also adds link to the configuration page
for further information.
### Why
It is not immediately clear from this single documentation page alone.
While it says that the feature relies on sharp, it does not say that it
must be added to config. Most people won't probably run into this since
they're probably going to use `create-payload-app`, which configures
sharp by default. But those who use custom config (like me) may be left
wondering why this feature does not work.
See [Crop images and preview sizes not
working](https://payloadcms.com/community-help/discord/crop-images-and-preview-sizes-not-working)
in community help.
### What?
CheckListFeature is noted in the documentation. However, the package
uses ChecklistFeature
Rather than changing the package, this would be better.
This PR exports a new `editorConfigFactory` that provides multiple standardized ways to retrieve the editor configuration needed for the Lexical editor.
## Why this is needed
Getting the editor config is required for converting the lexical editor state into/from different formats, as it's needed to create a headless editor. While we're moving away from requiring headless editor instantiation for common format conversions, some conversion types and other use cases still require it.
Currently, retrieving the editor config is cumbersome - you either need an existing field to extract it from or the payload config to create it from scratch, with multiple approaches for each method.
## What this PR does
The `editorConfigFactory` consolidates all possible ways to retrieve the editor config into a single factory with clear methods:
```ts
editorConfigFactory.default()
editorConfigFactory.fromField()
editorConfigFactory.fromUnsanitizedField()
editorConfigFactory.fromFeatures()
editorConfigFactory.fromEditor()
```
This results in less code, simpler implementation, and improved developer experience. The PR also adds documentation for all retrieval methods.
This adds new `payload.jobs.cancel` and `payload.jobs.cancelByID` methods that allow you to cancel already-running jobs, or prevent queued jobs from running.
While it's not possible to cancel a function mid-execution, this will stop job execution the next time the job makes a request to the db, which happens after every task.
### What?
For the join field query adds ability to specify `count: true`, example:
```ts
const result = await payload.find({
joins: {
'group.relatedPosts': {
sort: '-title',
count: true,
},
},
collection: "categories",
})
result.group?.relatedPosts?.totalDocs // available
```
### Why?
Can be useful to implement full pagination / show total related
documents count in the UI.
### How?
Implements the logic in database adapters. In MongoDB it's additional
`$lookup` that has `$count` in the pipeline. In SQL, it's additional
subquery with `COUNT(*)`. Preserves the current behavior by default,
since counting introduces overhead.
Additionally, fixes a typescript generation error for join fields.
Before, `docs` and `hasNextPage` were marked as nullable, which is not
true, these fields cannot be `null`.
Additionally, fixes threading of `joinQuery` in
`transform/read/traverseFields` for group / tab fields recursive calls.
Added a new Reserved Field Names section to the migration guide.
Clarified that certain field names (`__v`, `salt`, `hash`, `file`, etc.)
are reserved for internal use and will be sanitized from the config if
used.
Included additional reserved names specific to `MongoDB`, `auth`-enabled
collections, and `upload`-enabled collections.
Added a note recommending against using field names with an underscore
(`_`) prefix, as they are reserved for internal columns and may cause
conflicts in `SQL` and other contexts.
Fixes#11159
This PR improves existing JSX converter docs and adds 2 new sections:
- **converting internal links** - addresses why a `"found internal link, but internalDocToHref is not provided"` error is thrown, and how to get around it
- **Overriding default JSX Converters**
### What?
Information that locale fields in database are changing to a simpler
data structure in v3.
### Why?
Simple data migration is not enough to get it working, I had to spend
quite some time to figure out migration files and still it required some
manual input. Maybe others will find it useful when starting a v3
migration.
### How?
I had to do some custom migration scripts on my own to get v3 to work
with existing pages data.

Exports the `useTenantSelection` hook from the multi-tenant plugin, this
way other users can import and use the hook along with it's methods.
Can be imported:
```ts
import { useTenantSelection } from '@payloadcms/plugin-multi-tenant/client'
```
The context returned:
```ts
type ContextType = {
/**
* Array of options to select from
*/
options: OptionObject[]
/**
* The currently selected tenant ID
*/
selectedTenantID: number | string | undefined
/**
* Prevents a refresh when the tenant is changed
*
* If not switching tenants while viewing a "global", set to true
*/
setPreventRefreshOnChange: React.Dispatch<React.SetStateAction<boolean>>
/**
* Sets the selected tenant ID
*
* @param args.id - The ID of the tenant to select
* @param args.refresh - Whether to refresh the page after changing the tenant
*/
setTenant: (args: { id: number | string | undefined; refresh?: boolean }) => void

Previously, the `bin` configuration wasn't working at all.
Possibly because in an ESM environment this cannot work, because
`import` always returns an object with a default export under the
`module` key.
```ts
const script: BinScript = await import(pathToFileURL(userBinScript.scriptPath).toString())
await script(config)
```
Now, this works, but you must define a `script` export from your file.
Attached an integration test that asserts that it actually works. Added
documentation on how to use it, as previously it was missing.
This can be also helpful for plugins.
### Documentation
Using the `bin` configuration property, you can inject your own scripts
to `npx payload`.
Example for `pnpm payload seed`:
Step 1: create `seed.ts` file in the same folder with
`payload.config.ts` with:
```ts
import type { SanitizedConfig } from 'payload'
import payload from 'payload'
// Script must define a "script" function export that accepts the sanitized config
export const script = async (config: SanitizedConfig) => {
await payload.init({ config })
await payload.create({ collection: 'pages', data: { title: 'my title' } })
payload.logger.info('Succesffully seeded!')
process.exit(0)
}
```
Step 2: add the `seed` script to `bin`:
```ts
export default buildConfig({
bin: [
{
scriptPath: path.resolve(dirname, 'seed.ts'),
key: 'seed',
},
],
})
```
Now you can run the script using:
```sh
pnpm payload seed
```

blocks would be in one common layout.
This PR also encompasses documentation changes and e2e tests to check

Addresses #5609
### What?
This PR removes references to the `rateLimit` option from the
documentation, as it was deprecated in Payload v3.
Since Payload now runs on Next.js, which are often deployed
serverlessly, built-in rate limiting is no longer supported.
Users are encouraged to implement rate limiting at the load balancer,
proxy level, or use services like Cloudflare.
