The search plugin was incorrectly retrieving all locales, when it should
just be retrieving the locale of the parent document that was actively
being updated.
## BREAKING CHANGES:
If you have a localized Payload config, and you are using the `plugin-search`, we will now automatically localize the `title` field that is injected by the search plugin and this may lead to data loss. To opt out of this new behavior, you can pass `localize: false` to the plugin options.
Adds `select` which is used to specify the field projection for local
and rest API calls. This is available as an optimization to reduce the
payload's of requests and make the database queries more efficient.
Includes:
- [x] generate types for the `select` property
- [x] infer the return type by `select` with 2 modes - include (`field:
true`) and exclude (`field: false`)
- [x] lots of integration tests, including deep fields / localization
etc
- [x] implement the property in db adapters
- [x] implement the property in the local api for most operations
- [x] implement the property in the rest api
- [x] docs

### What?
Adds a way to prevent creating new documents from the admin UI in a join
field.
### Why?
There are two reasons:
1. You want to disable this any time as a feature of your admin user
experience
2. When creating a new document it is not yet possible to create the
relationship, preventing create is necessary for the workflow to make
sense.
### How?
join field has a new admin property called `allowCreate`, can be set to
false. By default the UI will never allow create when the current
document being edited does not yet have an `id`.
Fixes #
#8892
### Before
Even though the document doesn't have an ID yet, the create buttons are
shown which doesn't actually work.

### After
Initial document creation:

Prevented using `allowCreate: false`

### What?
This PR aims to fix an issue in the form-builder plugin page - in the
`number` field table, where an issue with one of the columns makes the
whole table unformatted. [See issue
here](https://payloadcms.com/docs/beta/plugins/form-builder#number).
### Why?
As it stands, the whole table is being rendered without any formatting,
making understanding it very difficult.
### How?
Changes to `docs/plugins/form-builder.mdx`
### What?
Allow specifying the defaultSort and defaultLimit to use for populating
a join field
### Why?
It is much easier to set defaults rather than be forced to always call
the join query using the query pattern ("?joins[categories][limit]=0").
### How?
See docs and type changes

### What?
Updates the examples in the
[admin/metadata#root-metadata](https://payloadcms.com/docs/beta/admin/metadata#root-metadata)
and
[admin/metadata#icons](https://payloadcms.com/docs/beta/admin/metadata#icons)
sections from using `href` to `url` and fixes the way that the `images`
Type excludes the description due to `|` being parsed as column
separator
### Why?
As of right now, the examples are incorrect and the `images` type bleeds
into the description and omits it entirely
See image of table issue at `images`:

### How?
Changes to `metadata.mdx`
Fixes#8887

While following the "Adding to an existing app" instructions for the
**beta** docs, I noticed that the pnpm installation commands for the
database adapters were missing the `@beta` tag, which will result in
errors in the project.
BREAKING CHANGE: Rename `@payloadcms/plugin-cloud` to
`@payloadcms/payload-cloud`. Anyone using the existing plugin will need
to switch to using the new package.
## Why?
Since v3 will be using _fixed versioning_, all versions of `^3` must be
available. Unfortunately, the `@payloadcms/plugin-cloud` version has
already breached that version number. Renaming will allow it to be on
the same version as other monorepo packages.
Additionally, the name `plugin-cloud` is quite ambiguous and sometimes
is confused with `plugin-cloud-storage`, so using `payload-cloud` feels
like a good move to make this more evident.
This change adds support for sort with multiple fields in local API and
REST API. Related discussion #2089

Example:
```sh
pnpm add @payloadcms/plugin-sentry
```
to:
```sh
pnpm add @payloadcms/plugin-sentry@beta
```
Because of this, people can be confused with the wrong installed
version. We'll change it back on stable
1
`import type { Field } from 'payload/types'`
to
`import type { Field } from 'payload'`
2
`import { buildConfig } from 'payload/config'`
to
`import { buildConfig } from 'payload'`
3
```
import { SelectInput, useField } from 'payload/components/forms';
import { useAuth } from 'payload/components/utilities';
```
to
`import { SelectInput, useAuth, useField } from '@payloadcms/ui'`
4
uses `import type` for `import type { CollectionConfig } from 'payload'`
Fixes a missing import in field prop example in
docs/beta/admin/fields.mdx.

Currently in the `beta` docs at the bottom of [Local API Overview Import
It
section](https://payloadcms.com/docs/beta/local-api/overview#importing-it)
there is a link for _Outside Nextjs_ which incorrectly sends you to
`/docs/beta/beta/local-api/outside-nextjs` instead of
`docs/beta/local-api/outside-nextjs`.
Interestingly enough, a `Not Found` component/message is not rendered
and instead you see a blank screen.

Adds `createDatabase` method to Postgres adapters which can be used
either independently like this:
```ts
payload.db.createDatabase({
name: "some-database",
schemaName: "custom-schema"
})
```
Or
```ts
payload.db.createDatabase()
```
Which creates a database from the current configuration, this is used in
`connect` if `autoDatabaseCreate` is set to `true` (default).
You can disable this behaviour with:
```ts
postgresAdapter({ autoDatabaseCreate: false })
```
Example:
<img width="470" alt="image"

Fixes https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/8562
Removes `debug` option from i18n docs - never existed.
Corrects hallucinations in the docs and lays out exactly how custom
translations should be used when you want to use them in custom
components.
All payload css is now encapsulated inside CSS layers under `@layer
payload-default`
Any custom css will now have the highest possible specificity.
We have also provided a new layer `@layer payload` if you want to use
layers and ensure that your styles are applied after payload.
To override existing styles in a way that the existing rules of
specificity would be respected you can use the default layer like so
```css
@layer payload-default {
// my styles within the payload specificity
}
```
Fixes https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/8534
UI fields are now excluded by default from the bulk edit view fields
options.
If you need to have the UI field there, you can provide:
```ts
admin: {
disableBulkEdit: false
}
```
This PR implements the ability to attempt to force the use of light/dark
theme in the admin panel. While I am a big advocate for the benefits
that dark mode can bring to UX, it does not always suit a clients
branding needs.
Open to discussion on whether we consider this a suitable feature for
the platform. Please feel free to add to this PR as needed.
TODO:
- [x] Implement tests (I'm open to guidance on this from the Payload
team as currently it doesn't look like it's possible to adjust the
payload config file on the fly - meaning it can't be easily placed in
the admin folder tests).
