# 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
- Our internal field hook methods now have new required `schemaPath` and
path `props`. This affects the following functions, if you are using
those: `afterChangeTraverseFields`, `afterReadTraverseFields`,
`beforeChangeTraverseFields`, `beforeValidateTraverseFields`,
`afterReadPromise`
- The afterChange field hook's `value` is now the value AFTER the
previous hooks were run. Previously, this was the original value, which
I believe is a bug
- Only relevant if you have built your own richText adapter: the
richText adapter `populationPromises` property has been renamed to
`graphQLPopulationPromises` and is now only run for graphQL. Previously,
it was run for graphQL AND the rest API. To migrate, use
`hooks.afterRead` to run population for the rest API
- Only relevant if you have built your own lexical features: The
`populationPromises` server feature property has been renamed to
`graphQLPopulationPromises` and is now only run for graphQL. Previously,
it was run for graphQL AND the rest API. To migrate, use
`hooks.afterRead` to run population for the rest API
- Serialized lexical link and upload nodes now have a new `id` property.
While not breaking, localization / hooks will not work for their fields
until you have migrated to that. Re-saving the old document on the new
version will automatically add the `id` property for you. You will also
get a bunch of console logs for every lexical node which is not migrated
**BREAKING:**
- Narrows the type of the `plugins` prop of lexical features. Client props are now also automatically provided to the plugin components. To migrate, type your plugin as either `PluginComponent` or PluginComponentWithAnchor.
- `BlockQuoteFeature` has been renamed to `BlockquoteFeature`
- `createClientComponent` is now exported only from /components
- The `LexicalBlocks` and `FieldWithRichTextRequiredEditor` types have been removed in favor of just `Blocks` & `Fields`, as well as improved validation.
**BREAKING:**
- Drawer fields are no longer wrapped in a `fields` group. This might be breaking if you depend on them being in a field group in any way - potentially if you use custom link fields. This does not change how the data is saved
- If you pass in an array of custom fields to the link feature, those were previously added to the base fields. Now, they completely replace the base fields for consistency. If you want to ADD fields to the base fields now, you will have to pass in a function and spread `defaultFields` - similar to how adding your own features to lexical works
**Example Migration for ADDING fields to the link base fields:**
**Previous:**
```ts
LinkFeature({
fields: [
{
name: 'rel',
label: 'Rel Attribute',
type: 'select',
hasMany: true,
options: ['noopener', 'noreferrer', 'nofollow'],
admin: {
description:
'The rel attribute defines the relationship between a linked resource and the current document. This is a custom link field.',
},
},
],
}),
```
**Now:**
```ts
LinkFeature({
fields: ({ defaultFields }) => [
...defaultFields,
{
name: 'rel',
label: 'Rel Attribute',
type: 'select',
hasMany: true,
options: ['noopener', 'noreferrer', 'nofollow'],
admin: {
description:
'The rel attribute defines the relationship between a linked resource and the current document. This is a custom link field.',
},
},
],
}),
BREAKING: An unpopulated, internal link node no longer saves the doc id under fields.doc.value.id. Now, it saves it under fields.doc.value.
Migration inside of payload is automatic. If you are reading from the link node inside of your frontend, though, you will have to adjust it.
The version property of the link and autoLink node has been changed from 1 to 2.

* feat: Quote => html
* chore: improve Checklist => html conversion, by passing in the full parent to converters
* Update isActive.tsx
This change allows us to define toggling of custom types in Slate. Specifically, this fixes the ability to toggle Alignment on nodes that use other active elements.
isElementActive(editor, format, TEXT_ALIGN_TYPES.includes(format) ? 'align' : 'type');
Type is the default for elements, allowing us to use a custom field lets us greater extend the functionality of Slate in Payload without causing any breaking changes
* Update toggle.tsx
Added to toggleElement public function
* Update isActive.tsx
* Update toggle.tsx
Added Rich Text Alignment, updated toggle function, added tests and doc updates
* added margin to void elements
* fix: list alignment
* removed textAlign from elements and added docs
* chore: fix typo
