# 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.

Fixes https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/6745
Fixes the inability to navigate to the reset password route. Adds the ability to customize the route and docs for all customizable admin panel routes.
Fixes: https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/6486
Adds `X-HTTP-Method-Override` header to allow for sending query params in the body of a POST request. This is useful when the query param string hits the upper limit.
**BREAKING:** We now export toast from `sonner` instead of
`react-toastify`. If you send out toasts from your own projects, make
sure to use our `toast` export, or install `sonner`. React-toastify
toasts will no longer work anymore. The Toast APIs are mostly similar,
but there are some differences if you provide options to your toast
CSS styles have been changed from Toastify
```css
/* before */
.Toastify
/* current */
.payload-toast-container
.payload-toast-item
.payload-toast-close-button
/* individual toast items will also have these classes depending on the state */
.toast-info
.toast-warning
.toast-success
.toast-error
```

Types are now auto-generated by default.
You can opt-out of this behavior by setting:
```ts
buildConfig({
// Rest of config
typescript: {
autoGenerate: false
},
})
```
## Description
Allows draft validation to be enabled at the config level.
You can enable this by:
```ts
// ...collectionConfig
versions: {
drafts: {
validate: true // defaults to false
}
}
```
**BREAKING**:
- This bumps the minimum required node version from node 20.6.0 to node
20.9.0. This is because 20.6.0 breaks type generation due to a CJS node
bug, and 20.9.0 is the next v20 LTS version. The minimum node 18 version
stays the same (18.20.2)
**BREAKING:**
- bumps minimum required next.js version from `14.3.0-canary.68` to
`15.0.0-rc.0`
- bumps minimum required react and react-dom versions to `19.0.0
`(`19.0.0-rc-f994737d14-20240522` should be used)
- `@types/react` and `@types/react-dom` have to be bumped to
`npm:types-react@19.0.0-beta.2` using overrides and pnpm overrides, if
you want correct types. You can find an example of this here:
https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/pull/6429/files#diff-10cb9e57a77733f174ee2888587281e94c31f79e434aa3f932a8ec72fa7a5121L32
## Issues
- Bunch of todos for our react-select package which is having type
issues. Works fine, just type issues. Their type defs are importing JSX
in a weird way, we likely just have to wait until they fix them in a
future update.
Change the exports of DefaultListView and DefaultEditView to be renamed
without "Default" as ListView
```ts
// before
import { DefaultEditView } from '@payloadcms/next/views'
import { DefaultListView } from '@payloadcms/next/views'
// after
import { EditView } from '@payloadcms/next/views'
import { ListView } from '@payloadcms/next/views'
```
