Adds a dedicated "Custom Components" section to the docs.
As users become familiar with building custom components, not all areas
that support customization are well documented. Not only this, but the
current pattern does not allow for deep elaboration on these concepts
without their pages growing to an unmanageable size. Custom components
in general is a large enough topic to merit a standalone section with
subpages. This change will make navigation much more intuitive, help
keep page size down, and provide room to document every single available
custom component with snippets to show exactly how they are typed, etc.
This is a substantial change to the docs, here is the overview:
- The "Admin > Customizing Components" doc is now located at "Custom
Components > overview"
- The "Admin > Views" doc is now located at "Custom Components > Custom
Views"
- There is a new "Custom Components > Edit View" doc
- There is a new "Custom Components > List View" doc
- The information about root components within the "Admin > Customizing
Components" doc has been moved to a new "Custom Components > Root
Components" doc
- The information about custom providers within the "Admin > Customizing
Components" doc has been moved to a new "Custom Components > Custom
Providers" doc
Similar to the goals of #10743, #10742, and #10741.
Fixes#10872 and initial scaffolding for #10353.
Dependent on #11126.
This change will require the following redirects to be set up:
- `/docs/admin/hooks` → `/docs/admin/react-hooks`
- `/docs/admin/components` → `/docs/custom-components/overview`
- `/docs/admin/views` → `/docs/custom-components/views`
Adds support for timezone selection on date fields.
### Summary
New `admin.timezones` config:
```ts
{
// ...
admin: {
// ...
timezones: {
supportedTimezones: ({ defaultTimezones }) => [
...defaultTimezones,
{ label: '(GMT-6) Monterrey, Nuevo Leon', value: 'America/Monterrey' },
],
defaultTimezone: 'America/Monterrey',
},
}
}
```
New `timezone` property on date fields:
```ts
{
type: 'date',
name: 'date',
timezone: true,
}
```
### Configuration
All date fields now accept `timezone: true` to enable this feature,
which will inject a new field into the configuration using the date
field's name to construct the name for the timezone column. So
`publishingDate` will have `publishingDate_tz` as an accompanying
column. This new field is inserted during config sanitisation.
Dates continue to be stored in UTC, this will help maintain dates
without needing a migration and it makes it easier for data to be
manipulated as needed. Mongodb also has a restriction around storing
dates only as UTC.
All timezones are stored by their IANA names so it's compatible with
browser APIs. There is a newly generated type for `SupportedTimezones`
which is reused across fields.
We handle timezone calculations via a new package `@date-fns/tz` which
we will be using in the future for handling timezone aware scheduled
publishing/unpublishing and more.
### UI
Dark mode
Light mode
Thoroughly documents the `admin.preview` feature. Previously, this
information was briefly mentioned in two distinct places, within the
collections config and again within the globals config. This led to
discrepancies over time and was inadequate at describing this feature,
such as having a lack of concrete code examples especially as it relates
to _draft preview_. There has also been confusion between this and Live
Preview.
Now, there is a dedicated page at `/admin/preview` which centralizes
this information into a single document. It also specifically documents
how to achieve _draft preview_ and includes code snippets. This way, we
no longer have to rely solely on the [Draft Preview
Example](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/tree/main/examples/draft-preview)
for this.
Related: #10798
Similar to #10742. Collection and global-level admin options are
currently documented within the "admin > collections" and "admin >
globals" pages, respectively. This makes them hard to find because
users, myself included, intuitively navigate to the collection and
global overview docs to locate this information before realizing it
lives elsewhere. Now, they are rendered within "configuration >
collections" and "configuration > globals" as expected and the old pages
have been removed altogether.
Fixes#10284. The `admin.disable` property is no longer supported as of
v3. Instead, to opt-out of serving the Admin Panel, REST API, or GraphQL
API, you must delete their corresponding directories within your Next.js
app. For example, to opt-out of everything, delete the `/app/(payload)`
directory entirely. Or to remove specifically the Admin Panel or API
routes, delete the `/app/(payload)/admin` or `/app/(payload)/api`
directories, respectively. Note: if you've modified the default paths
for these routes via `admin.routes`, delete those directories instead.
### What?
This PR fixes numerous links across the docs, both internal docs links
and external links. This PR also fixes some minor formatting issues in
some places, as well as optically aligns the markdown tables in tables
that had broken links.
### Why?
To properly link readers to the correct location in the docs, and for
better formatting and easier consumption.
### How?
Changes to many `.mdx` files in the `docs` folder.
Notes:
- There are duplicative section id's in `docs/authentication/email.mdx`,
I've fixed one such link, but have left it as is for now.
### What?
There are scenarios where the server-rendered HTML might intentionally
differ from the client-rendered DOM causing `Hydration` errors in the
DOM.
### How?
Added a new prop to the payload config `admin` object called
`suppressHydrationWarning` that allows control to display these warnings
or not.
If you set `suppressHydrationWarning` to `true`, React will not warn you
about mismatches in the attributes and the content of that element.
Defaults to `false` - so if there is a mismatch and this prop is not
defined in your config, the hydration errors will show.
```
admin: {
suppressHydrationWarning: true // will suppress the errors if there is a mismatch
}
```
In effort to keep the Examples Directory as easy to navigate as
possible, and to keep the Payload Monorepo only as verbose as it needs
to be, we need to remove all alternatives from the Examples Directory.
This includes setups that interact with Payload from a standalone
server, keeping only the Payload recommended "combined" Next.js +
Payload setups. This will also be applied to all other examples that use
this setup, i.e. draft preview, live preview, etc.
Supports bi-directional import/export between MDX <=> Lexical. JSX will
be mapped to lexical blocks back and forth.
This will allow editing our mdx docs in payload while keeping mdx as the
source of truth

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).

This PR makes three major changes to the codebase:
1. [Component Paths](#component-paths)
Instead of importing custom components into your config directly, they
are now defined as file paths and rendered only when needed. That way
the Payload config will be significantly more lightweight, and ensures
that the Payload config is 100% server-only and Node-safe. Related
discussion: https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/discussions/6938
2. [Client Config](#client-config)
Deprecates the component map by merging its logic into the client
config. The main goal of this change is for performance and
simplification. There was no need to deeply iterate over the Payload
config twice, once for the component map, and another for the client
config. Instead, we can do everything in the client config one time.
This has also dramatically simplified the client side prop drilling
through the UI library. Now, all components can share the same client
config which matches the exact shape of their Payload config (with the
exception of non-serializable props and mapped custom components).
3. [Custom client component are no longer
server-rendered](#custom-client-components-are-no-longer-server-rendered)
Previously, custom components would be server-rendered, no matter if
they are server or client components. Now, only server components are
rendered on the server. Client components are automatically detected,
and simply get passed through as `MappedComponent` to be rendered fully
client-side.
## Component Paths
Instead of importing custom components into your config directly, they
are now defined as file paths and rendered only when needed. That way
the Payload config will be significantly more lightweight, and ensures
that the Payload config is 100% server-only and Node-safe. Related
discussion: https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/discussions/6938
In order to reference any custom components in the Payload config, you
now have to specify a string path to the component instead of importing
it.
Old:
```ts
import { MyComponent2} from './MyComponent2.js'
admin: {
components: {
Label: MyComponent2
},
},
```
New:
```ts
admin: {
components: {
Label: '/collections/Posts/MyComponent2.js#MyComponent2', // <= has to be a relative path based on a baseDir configured in the Payload config - NOT relative based on the importing file
},
},
```
### Local API within Next.js routes
Previously, if you used the Payload Local API within Next.js pages, all
the client-side modules are being added to the bundle for that specific
page, even if you only need server-side functionality.
This `/test` route, which uses the Payload local API, was previously 460
kb. It is now down to 91 kb and does not bundle the Payload client-side
admin panel anymore.
All tests done
[here](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload-3.0-demo/tree/feat/path-test)
with beta.67/PR, db-mongodb and default richtext-lexical:
**dev /admin before:**
**dev /admin after:**
---
**dev /test before:**
**dev /test after:**
---
**build before:**
**build after::**
### Usage of the Payload Local API / config outside of Next.js
This will make it a lot easier to use the Payload config / local API in
other, server-side contexts. Previously, you might encounter errors due
to client files (like .scss files) not being allowed to be imported.
## Client Config
Deprecates the component map by merging its logic into the client
config. The main goal of this change is for performance and
simplification. There was no need to deeply iterate over the Payload
config twice, once for the component map, and another for the client
config. Instead, we can do everything in the client config one time.
This has also dramatically simplified the client side prop drilling
through the UI library. Now, all components can share the same client
config which matches the exact shape of their Payload config (with the
exception of non-serializable props and mapped custom components).
This is breaking change. The `useComponentMap` hook no longer exists,
and most component props have changed (for the better):
```ts
const { componentMap } = useComponentMap() // old
const { config } = useConfig() // new
```
The `useConfig` hook has also changed in shape, `config` is now a
property _within_ the context obj:
```ts
const config = useConfig() // old
const { config } = useConfig() // new
```
## Custom Client Components are no longer server rendered
Previously, custom components would be server-rendered, no matter if
they are server or client components. Now, only server components are
rendered on the server. Client components are automatically detected,
and simply get passed through as `MappedComponent` to be rendered fully
client-side.
The benefit of this change:
Custom client components can now receive props. Previously, the only way
for them to receive dynamic props from a parent client component was to
use hooks, e.g. `useFieldProps()`. Now, we do have the option of passing
in props to the custom components directly, if they are client
components. This will be simpler than having to look for the correct
hook.
This makes rendering them on the client a little bit more complex, as
you now have to check if that component is a server component (=>
already has been rendered) or a client component (=> not rendered yet,
has to be rendered here). However, this added complexity has been
alleviated through the easy-to-use `<RenderMappedComponent />` helper.
This helper now also handles rendering arrays of custom components (e.g.
beforeList, beforeLogin ...), which actually makes rendering custom
components easier in some cases.
## Misc improvements
This PR includes misc, breaking changes. For example, we previously
allowed unions between components and config object for the same
property. E.g. for the custom view property, you were allowed to pass in
a custom component or an object with other properties, alongside a
custom component.
Those union types are now gone. You can now either pass an object, or a
component. The previous `{ View: MyViewComponent}` is now `{ View: {
Component: MyViewComponent} }` or `{ View: { Default: { Component:
MyViewComponent} } }`.
This dramatically simplifies the way we read & process those properties,
especially in buildComponentMap. We can now simply check for the
existence of one specific property, which always has to be a component,
instead of running cursed runtime checks on a shared union property
which could contain a component, but could also contain functions or
objects.
