- Improves color contrast of various components in the admin panel.
- Adjusts placement of field error tooltips for consistency.
- Corrects misaligned modals.
- Fixes issue where `admin.layout: vertical` was not being applied to
`radio` fields.
## Description
Standardizes all named field exports. This improves semantics when using
these components by appending `Field` onto the end of their names. Some
components were already doing this, i.e. `ArrayField` and `BlocksField`.
Now, all field components share this same convention. And since bundled
components were already aliasing most exports in this way, this change
will largely go unnoticed because most apps were _already_ importing the
correctly named components. What is ultimately means is that there was a
mismatch between the unbundled vs bundled exports. This PR resolves that
conflict. But this also introduces a potentially breaking change for
your app. If your app is using components that import from the
_unbundled_ `@payloadcms/ui` package, those import paths likely changed:
Old:
```tsx
import { Text } from '@payloadcms/ui/fields/Text'
```
New:
```tsx
import { TextField } from '@payloadcms/ui/fields/Text'
```
If you were importing direcetly from the _bundled_ version, you're
imports likely have not changed. For example:
This still works (the import path is top-level, pointing to the
_bundled_ code):
```tsx
import { TextField } from '@payloadcms/ui'
```

Before, options from props were being stored in state and would not
update when props changed. Now options are memoized and will update when
the incoming `options` prop changes.
# Breaking Changes
### New file import locations
Exports from the `payload` package have been _significantly_ cleaned up.
Now, just about everything is able to be imported from `payload`
directly, rather than an assortment of subpath exports. This means that
things like `import { buildConfig } from 'payload/config'` are now just
imported via `import { buildConfig } from 'payload'`. The mental model
is significantly simpler for developers, but you might need to update
some of your imports.
Payload now exposes only three exports:
1. `payload` - all types and server-only Payload code
2. `payload/shared` - utilities that can be used in either the browser
or in Node environments
3. `payload/node` - heavy utilities that should only be imported in Node
scripts and never be imported into bundled code like Next.js
### UI library pre-bundling
With this release, we've dramatically sped up the compile time for
Payload by pre-bundling our entire UI package for use inside of the
Payload admin itself. There are new exports that should be used within
Payload custom components:
1. `@payloadcms/ui/client` - all client components
2. `@payloadcms/ui/server` - all server components
For all of your custom Payload admin UI components, you should be
importing from one of these two pre-compiled barrel files rather than
importing from the more deeply nested exports directly. That will keep
compile times nice and speedy, and will also make sure that the bundled
JS for your admin UI is kept small.
For example, whereas before, if you imported the Payload `Button`, you
would have imported it like this:
```ts
import { Button } from '@payloadcms/ui/elements/Button'
```
Now, you would import it like this:
```ts
import { Button } from '@payloadcms/ui/client'
```
This is a significant DX / performance optimization that we're pretty
pumped about.
However, if you are importing or re-using Payload UI components
_outside_ of the Payload admin UI, for example in your own frontend
apps, you can import from the individual component exports which will
make sure that the bundled JS is kept to a minimum in your frontend
apps. So in your own frontend, you can continue to import directly to
the components that you want to consume rather than importing from the
pre-compiled barrel files.
Individual component exports will now come with their corresponding CSS
and everything will work perfectly as-expected.
### Specific exports have changed
- `'@payloadcms/ui/templates/Default'` and
`'@payloadcms/ui/templates/Minimal`' are now exported from
`'@payloadcms/next/templates'`
- Old: `import { LogOut } from '@payloadcms/ui/icons/LogOut'` new:
`import { LogOutIcon } from '@payloadcms/ui/icons/LogOut'`
## Background info
In effort to make local dev as fast as possible, we need to import as
few files as possible so that the compiler has less to process. One way
we've achieved this in the Admin Panel was to _remove_ all .scss imports
from all components in the `@payloadcms/ui` module using a build
process. This stripped all `import './index.scss'` statements out of
each component before injecting them into `dist`. Instead, it bundles
all of the CSS into a single `main.css` file, and we import _that_ at
the root of the app.
While this concept is _still_ the right solution to the problem, this
particular approach is not viable when using these components outside
the Admin Panel, where not only does this root stylesheet not exist, but
where it would also bloat your app with unused styles. Instead, we need
to _keep_ these .scss imports in place so they are imported directly
alongside your components, as expected. Then, we need create a _new_
build step that _separately_ compiles the components _without_ their
stylesheets—this way your app can consume either as needed from the new
`client` and `server` barrel files within `@payloadcms/ui`, i.e. from
within `@payloadcms/next` and all other admin-specific packages and
plugins.
This way, all other applications will simply import using the direct
file paths, just as they did before. Except now they come with
stylesheets.
And we've gotten a pretty awesome initial compilation performance boost.

Breaking Changes:
- Globals config: `admin.description` no longer accepts a custom component. You will have to move it to `admin.components.elements.Description`
- Collections config: `admin.description` no longer accepts a custom component. You will have to move it to `admin.components.edit.Description`
- All Fields: `field.admin.description` no longer accepts a custom component. You will have to move it to `field.admin.components.Description`
- Collapsible Field: `field.label` no longer accepts a custom component. You will have to move it to `field.admin.components.RowLabel`
- Array Field: `field.admin.components.RowLabel` no longer accepts strings or records
- If you are using our exported field components in your own app, their `labelProps` property has been stripped down and no longer contains the `label` and `required` prop. Those can now only be configured at the top-level
