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.
### What?
Fixes a link to the `storage-uploadthing` adapter in Github.
### Why?
To link readers to the correct package location.
### How?
Change to `docs/upload/storage-adapters.mdx`.
Credit to rik in Discord for the catch.
### What?
Adds custom anchor tags to docs where duplicate headings exist.
### Why?
Anchor links would not correctly navigate to the proper point on the
page if there were multiple headings with the same string.
### How?
The website now supports adding custom `#anchor` to a heading in
markdown that will attach to the headings and table of content list
items. This PR adds custom anchors to the docs that have duplicate
headings.
**Example:**
```md
/docs/upload/storage-adapters.mdx
### Usage#vercel-blob-installation
```
Generates the path:
`/docs/upload/storage-adapters#vercel-blob-installation`
### What?
This PR fixes a variety of links around the docs.
### Why?
To link readers to the correct location in the docs
### How?
Changes and fixes to a number of doc links.
- Removes mention of custom providers needing to be client components
- Documents custom field `Filter` components
- Adjusts language and other misc. grammar and spelling
### What?
Fixes links for custom components in a few places in admin docs.
### Why?
To link users to the correct location in the docs.
### How?
Changes to `docs/admin/components.mdx` and
`docs/admin/customizing-css.mdx`
Removes examples that are now duplicative or unnecessary due to new
features in 3.0:
### Custom server
This one can be removed in favor of [Next.js
documentation](https://nextjs.org/docs/pages/building-your-application/configuring/custom-server)
### Hierarchy
The new `join` field can solve for many of the use cases for the
`hierarchy` example. Bi-directional relationships with the `join` field
should be preferred here.
### Nested Docs, Redirects
Our website template showcases how to use the `nested-docs` and
`redirects` plugins in-depth, with real-world examples.
### Virtual Fields
Virtual fields have gotten significantly easier and can now be defined
by specifying `virtual: true`. Not a big need for a full example any
longer.

The Edit and Live Preview views were duplicately making the same Local
API requests for document data. This is because while the top-level
document view handler makes these requests _before_ rendering the Live
Preview view, it wasn't passing it's data through as props. This has
also led to inconsistencies in the options being passed through the
requests themselves, such as `locale`, `user`, and `overrideAccess:
false`. Everything is now standardized as expected through the existing
`getDocumentData` utility.
Custom field description functions were being duplicately called in both
the Client Config and form state. Static field descriptions were also
being rendered in form state unnecessarily. Now, field description
functions are only executed once within form state, and static
descriptions are deferred to the client for rendering.
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

Documents more breaking changes within the migration guide, improves
overview, reorganizes everything, adds section headings, table of
contents, and more.
With this PR, you can now customize the way that `blocks` and
`inlineBlocks` are rendered within Lexical's `BlocksFeature` by passing
your own React components.
This is super helpful when you need to create "previews" or more
accurate UI for your Lexical blocks.
For example, let's say you have a `gallery` block where your admins
select a bunch of images. By default, Lexical would just render a
collapsible with your block's fields in it. But now you can customize
the `admin.components.Block` property on your `block` config by passing
it a custom React component for us to render instead.
So using that, with this `gallery` example, you could make a dynamic
gallery React component that shows the images to your editors - and then
render our built-in `BlockEditButton` to allow your editors to manage
your gallery in a drawer.
Here is an example where the BlockEditButton is added to the default
Block Collapsible/Header:

Deprecates `getPayloadHMR` and simplifies this pattern into a single
`import { getPayload } from 'payload'`.
We will still retain the exported `getPayloadHMR` but it now will throw
a deprecation warning with instructions for how to migrate.
### What?
Fixes links in Queries/Operators table for `within` and `intersects`
operator descriptions.
### Why?
So that they point to the correct destination in the docs.
### How?
Changes to `docs/queries/overview.mdx`
See here:

**BREAKING:**
Improves type-safety of collection / global slugs by using `CollectionSlug` / `UploadCollectionSlug` and `GlobalSlug` types instead of `string` in these places:
Adds `UploadCollectionSlug` and `TypedUploadCollection` utility types
This also changes how we suggest to add an upload collection to a cloud-storage adapter:
Before:
```ts
azureStorage({
collections: {
[Media.slug]: true,
},
})
```
After:
```ts
azureStorage({
collections: {
media: true,
},
})
```
Adds documentation for `within` and `intersects` operators.
#### Querying - within
In order to do query based on whether points are within a specific area
defined in GeoJSON, you can use the `within` operator.
Example:
```ts
const polygon: Point[] = [
[9.0, 19.0], // bottom-left
[9.0, 21.0], // top-left
[11.0, 21.0], // top-right
[11.0, 19.0], // bottom-right
[9.0, 19.0], // back to starting point to close the polygon
]
payload.find({
collection: "points",
where: {
point: {
within: {
type: 'Polygon',
coordinates: [polygon],
},
},
},
})
```
#### Querying - intersects
In order to do query based on whether points intersect a specific area
defined in GeoJSON, you can use the `intersects` operator.
Example:
```ts
const polygon: Point[] = [
[9.0, 19.0], // bottom-left
[9.0, 21.0], // top-left
[11.0, 21.0], // top-right
[11.0, 19.0], // bottom-right
[9.0, 19.0], // back to starting point to close the polygon
]
payload.find({
collection: "points",
where: {
point: {
intersects: {
type: 'Polygon',
coordinates: [polygon],
},
},
},
})
```
This is a first pass at updating the 3.0 migration guide. While this
makes significant changes and improvements to the guide, it does not
necessarily reflect _all_ of the migration steps needed in their
entirety quite yet. Those will continue to come in.
Key changes:
- Cleans up outdated examples and removes old ones
- Updates code snippets to latest patterns
- Diffs everything for improved readability
This PR fixes and improves a few things around localisation and
fallbackLocale:
- For the REST API `fallbackLocale` and `fallback-locale` are treated
the same for consistency with the Local API
- `fallback: false` in config is now respected, by default results will
not fallback to `defaultLocale` unless this config is true, can also be
overridden by providing an explicit `fallbackLocale` in the request
- locale specific fallbacks will now take priority over `defaultLocale`
unless an explicit fallback is provided
- Fixes types on operations to allow `'none'` as a value for
fallbackLocale
- `fallback` is now true by default if unspecified
Closes https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/8443
### What?
Allows configuration of the log level based on the error being thrown
and also downgrades common errors to be info instead of error by
default.
### Why?
Currently all errors result in logger.error being called which can
polute the logs with junk that is normal and doesn't need attention.
### How?
Adds a config property called `loggingLevels` that is used to override
the default log levels based on the name of the error being thrown.
Sanitize config will provide the defaulted 'info' level errors which can
be overriden in the config.
Before

After

Currently, Payload renders all custom components on initial compile of
the admin panel. This is problematic for two key reasons:
1. Custom components do not receive contextual data, i.e. fields do not
receive their field data, edit views do not receive their document data,
etc.
2. Components are unnecessarily rendered before they are used
This was initially required to support React Server Components within
the Payload Admin Panel for two key reasons:
1. Fields can be dynamically rendered within arrays, blocks, etc.
2. Documents can be recursively rendered within a "drawer" UI, i.e.
relationship fields
3. Payload supports server/client component composition
In order to achieve this, components need to be rendered on the server
and passed as "slots" to the client. Currently, the pattern for this is
to render custom server components in the "client config". Then when a
view or field is needed to be rendered, we first check the client config
for a "pre-rendered" component, otherwise render our client-side
fallback component.
But for the reasons listed above, this pattern doesn't exactly make
custom server components very useful within the Payload Admin Panel,
which is where this PR comes in. Now, instead of pre-rendering all
components on initial compile, we're able to render custom components
_on demand_, only as they are needed.
To achieve this, we've established [this
pattern](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/pull/8481) of React
Server Functions in the Payload Admin Panel. With Server Functions, we
can iterate the Payload Config and return JSX through React's
`text/x-component` content-type. This means we're able to pass
contextual props to custom components, such as data for fields and
views.
## Breaking Changes
1. Add the following to your root layout file, typically located at
`(app)/(payload)/layout.tsx`:
```diff
/* THIS FILE WAS GENERATED AUTOMATICALLY BY PAYLOAD. */
/* DO NOT MODIFY IT BECAUSE IT COULD BE REWRITTEN AT ANY TIME. */
+ import type { ServerFunctionClient } from 'payload'
import config from '@payload-config'
import { RootLayout } from '@payloadcms/next/layouts'
import { handleServerFunctions } from '@payloadcms/next/utilities'
import React from 'react'
import { importMap } from './admin/importMap.js'
import './custom.scss'
type Args = {
children: React.ReactNode
}
+ const serverFunctions: ServerFunctionClient = async function (args) {
+ 'use server'
+ return handleServerFunctions({
+ ...args,
+ config,
+ importMap,
+ })
+ }
const Layout = ({ children }: Args) => (
<RootLayout
config={config}
importMap={importMap}
+ serverFunctions={serverFunctions}
>
{children}
</RootLayout>
)
export default Layout
```
2. If you were previously posting to the `/api/form-state` endpoint, it
no longer exists. Instead, you'll need to invoke the `form-state` Server
Function, which can be done through the _new_ `getFormState` utility:
```diff
- import { getFormState } from '@payloadcms/ui'
- const { state } = await getFormState({
- apiRoute: '',
- body: {
- // ...
- },
- serverURL: ''
- })
+ const { getFormState } = useServerFunctions()
+
+ const { state } = await getFormState({
+ // ...
+ })
```
## Breaking Changes
```diff
- useFieldProps()
- useCellProps()
```
More details coming soon.

### What?
Adds full support for the point field to Postgres and Vercel Postgres
adapters through the Postgis extension. Fully the same API as with
MongoDB, including support for `near`, `within` and `intersects`
operators.
Additionally, exposes to adapter args:
*
`tablesFilter`https://orm.drizzle.team/docs/drizzle-kit-push#including-tables-schemas-and-extensions.
* `extensions` list of extensions to create, for example `['vector',
'pg_search']`, `postgis` is created automatically if there's any point
field
### Why?
It's essential to support that field type, especially if the postgres
adapter should be out of beta on 3.0 stable.
### How?
* Bumps `drizzle-orm` to `0.36.1` and `drizzle-kit` to `0.28.0` as we
need this change https://github.com/drizzle-team/drizzle-orm/pull/3141
* Uses its functions to achieve querying functionality, for example the
`near` operator works through `ST_DWithin` or `intersects` through
`ST_Intersects`.
* Removes MongoDB condition from all point field tests, but keeps for
SQLite
Resolves these discussions:

### What?
Moved the logic for copying the data.id to data._id to the mongoose
adapter.
### Why?
If you have any hooks that need to set the `id`, the value does not get
sent to mongodb as you would expect since it was copied before the
beforeValidate hooks.
### How?
Now data._id is assigned only in the mongodb adapter's `create`
function.
BREAKING CHANGES:
When using custom ID fields, if you have any collection hooks for
beforeValidate, beforeChange then `data._id` will no longer be assigned
as this happens now in the database adapter. Use `data.id` instead.
### What?
Fixes a formatting issue that prevents
payloadcms.com/docs/beta/jobs-queue/overview from displaying properly.
There were a couple `<strong>` tags in the `jobs-queue/overview` docs
that did not have proper closing `</strong>` tags.
### What?
Adds `populate` property to Local API and REST API operations that can
be used to specify `select` for a specific collection when it's
populated
```ts
const result = await payload.findByID({
populate: {
// type safe if you have generated types
posts: {
text: true,
},
},
collection: 'pages',
depth: 1,
id: aboutPage.id,
})
result.relatedPost // only has text and id properties
```
```ts
fetch('https://localhost:3000/api/pages?populate[posts][text]=true') // highlight-line
.then((res) => res.json())
.then((data) => console.log(data))
```
It also overrides
[`defaultPopulate`](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/pull/8934)
Ensures `defaultPopulate` doesn't affect GraphQL.
### How?
Implements the property for all operations that have the `depth`
argument.
### What?
Makes it possible to filter join documents using a `where` added
directly in the config.
### Why?
It makes the join field more powerful for adding contextual meaning to
the documents being returned. For example, maybe you have a
`requiresAction` field that you set and you can have a join that
automatically filters the documents to those that need attention.
### How?
In the database adapter, we merge the requested `where` to the `where`
defined on the field.
On the frontend the results are filtered using the `filterOptions`
property in the component.
