The Payload Admin Bar is now maintained in core and released under the
`@payloadcms` scope thanks to #3684. All templates and examples that
rely on this package now install from here and have been migrated
accordingly.
There were a number of things wrong or could have been improved with the
[Draft Preview
Example](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/tree/main/examples/draft-preview),
namely:
- The package.json was missing `"type": "modue"` which would throw ESM
related import errors on startup
- The preview secret was missing entirely, with pointless logic was
written to throw an error if it missing in the search params as opposed
to not matching the environment secret
- The `/next/exit-preview` route was duplicated twice
- The preview endpoint was unnecessarily querying the database for a
matching document as opposed to letting the underlying page itself 404
as needed, and it was also throwing an inaccurate error message
Some less critical changes were:
- The page query was missing the `depth` and `limit` parameters which is
best practice to optimize performance
- The logic to format search params in the preview URL was unnecessarily
complex
- Utilities like `generatePreviewPath` and `getGlobals` were
unnecessarily obfuscating simple functions
- The `/preview` and `/exit-preview` routes were unecessarily nested
within a `/next` page segment
- Payload types weren't aliased
Similar to #10331. Since React 19, refs can now be passed directly
through props without the need for `React.forwardRef`. This greatly
simplifies components types and overall syntax.
I noticed that payload.secret was getting logged via console.log, adding
a significant security risk.
Removed the console.log statements from three preview/route.ts files.
In an 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.
