Adds support for `halfvec` and `sparsevec` and `bit` (binary vector)
column types. This is required for supporting indexing of embeddings >
2000 dimensions on postgres using the pg-vector extension.
This PR adds int tests with vitest and e2e tests with playwright
directly into our templates.
The following are also updated:
- bumps core turbo to 2.5.4 in monorepo
- blank and website templates moved up to be part of the monorepo
workspace
- this means we now have thes templates filtered out in pnpm commands in
package.json
- they will now by default use workspace packages which we can use for
manual testing and int and e2e tests
- note that turbo doesnt work with these for dev in monorepo context
- CPA script will fetch latest version and then replace `workspace:*` or
the pinned version in the package.json before installation
- blank template no longer uses _template as a base, this is to simplify
management for workspace
- updated the generate template variations script
Filters URLs to avoid issues with SSRF
Had to use `undici` instead of native `fetch` because it was the only
viable alternative that supported both overriding agent/dispatch and
also implemented `credentials: include`.

Currently, we globally enable both DOM and Node.js types. While this
mostly works, it can cause conflicts - particularly with `fetch`. For
example, TypeScript may incorrectly allow browser-only properties (like
`cache`) and reject valid Node.js ones like `dispatcher`.
This PR disables DOM types for server-only packages like payload,
ensuring Node-specific typings are applied. This caught a few instances
of incorrect fetch usage that were previously masked by overlapping DOM
types.
This is not a perfect solution - packages that contain both server and
client code (like richtext-lexical or next) will still suffer from this
issue. However, it's an improvement in cases where we can cleanly
separate server and client types, like for the `payload` package which
is server-only.
## Use-case
This change enables https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/pull/12622 to
explore using node-native fetch + `dispatcher`, instead of `node-fetch`
+ `agent`.
Currently, it will incorrectly report that `dispatcher` is not a valid
property for node-native fetch
### What?
The azure storage adapter returns a 500 internal server error when a
file is not found.
It's expected that it will return 404 when a file is not found.
### Why?
There is no checking if the blockBlobClient exists before it's used, so
it throws a RestError when used and the blob does not exist.
### How?
Check if exception thrown is of type RestError and have a 404 error from
the Azure API and return a 404 in that case.
An alternative way would be to call the exists() method on the
blockBlobClient, but that will be one more API call for blobs that does
exist. So I chose to check the exception instead.
Also added integration tests for azure storage in the same manner as s3,
as it was missing for azure storage.
Important: An intentional effort is being made during migration to not
modify runtime behavior. This implies that there will be several
assertions, non-null assertions, and @ts-expect-error. This philosophy
applies only to migrating old code to TypeScript strict, not to writing
new code. For a more detailed justification for this reasoning, see
#11840 (comment).
In this PR, instead of following the approach of migrating a subset of
files, I'm migrating all files by disabling specific rules. The first
commits are named after the rule being disabled.
With this PR, the migration of the payload package is complete 🚀
I noticed a few issues when running e2e tests that will be resolved by
this PR:
- Most important: for some test suites (fields, fields-relationship,
versions, queues, lexical), the database was cleared and seeded
**twice** in between each test run. This is because the onInit function
was running the clear and seed script, when it should only have been
running the seed script. Clearing the database / the snapshot workflow
is being done by the reInit endpoint, which then calls onInit to seed
the actual data.
- The slowest part of `clearAndSeedEverything` is recreating indexes on
mongodb. This PR slightly improves performance here by:
- Skipping this process for the built-in `['payload-migrations',
'payload-preferences', 'payload-locked-documents']` collections
- Previously we were calling both `createIndexes` and `ensureIndexes`.
This was unnecessary - `ensureIndexes` is a deprecated alias of
`createIndexes`. This PR changes it to only call `createIndexes`
- Makes the reinit endpoint accept GET requests instead of POST requests
- this makes it easier to debug right in the browser
- Some typescript fixes
- Adds a `dev:memorydb` script to the package.json. For some reason,
`dev` is super unreliable on mongodb locally when running e2e tests - it
frequently fails during index creation. Using the memorydb fixes this
issue, with the bonus of more closely resembling the CI environment
- Previously, you were unable to run test suites using turbopack +
postgres. This fixes it, by explicitly installing `pg` as devDependency
in our monorepo
- Fixes jest open handles warning
This PR introduces a few changes to improve turbopack compatibility and
ensure e2e tests pass with turbopack enabled
## Changes to improve turbopack compatibility
- Use correct sideEffects configuration to fix scss issues
- Import scss directly instead of duplicating our scss rules
- Fix some scss rules that are not supported by turbopack
- Bump Next.js and all other dependencies used to build payload
## Changes to get tests to pass
For an unknown reason, flaky tests flake a lot more often in turbopack.
This PR does the following to get them to pass:
- add more `wait`s
- fix actual flakes by ensuring previous operations are properly awaited
## Blocking turbopack bugs
- [X] https://github.com/vercel/next.js/issues/76464
- Fix PR: https://github.com/vercel/next.js/pull/76545
- Once fixed: change `"sideEffectsDisabled":` back to `"sideEffects":`

Originally this PR was going to introduce a `TextColorFeature`, but it
ended up becoming a more general-purpose `TextStateFeature`.
## Example of use:
```ts
import { defaultColors, TextStateFeature } from '@payloadcms/richtext-lexical'
TextStateFeature({
// prettier-ignore
state: {
color: {
...defaultColors,
// fancy gradients!
galaxy: { label: 'Galaxy', css: { background: 'linear-gradient(to right, #0000ff, #ff0000)', color: 'white' } },
sunset: { label: 'Sunset', css: { background: 'linear-gradient(to top, #ff5f6d, #6a3093)' } },
},
// You can have both colored and underlined text at the same time.
// If you don't want that, you should group them within the same key.
// (just like I did with defaultColors and my fancy gradients)
underline: {
'solid': { label: 'Solid', css: { 'text-decoration': 'underline', 'text-underline-offset': '4px' } },
// You'll probably want to use the CSS light-dark() utility.
'yellow-dashed': { label: 'Yellow Dashed', css: { 'text-decoration': 'underline dashed', 'text-decoration-color': 'light-dark(#EAB308,yellow)', 'text-underline-offset': '4px' } },
},
},
}),
```
Which will result in the following:
## Challenges & Considerations
Adding colors or styles in general to the Lexical editor is not as
simple as it seems.
1. **Extending TextNode isn't ideal**
- While possible, it's verbose, error-prone, and not composable. If
multiple features extend the same node, conflicts arise.
- That’s why we collaborated with the Lexical team to introduce [the new
State API](https://lexical.dev/docs/concepts/node-replacement)
([PR](https://github.com/facebook/lexical/pull/7117)).
2. **Issues with patchStyles**
- Some community plugins use `patchStyles`, but storing CSS in the
editor’s JSON has drawbacks:
- Style adaptability: Users may want different styles per scenario
(dark/light mode, mobile/web, etc.).
- Migration challenges: Hardcoded colors (e.g., #FF0000) make updates
difficult. Using tokens (e.g., "red") allows flexibility.
- Larger JSON footprint increases DB size.
3. **Managing overlapping styles**
- Some users may want both text and background colors on the same node,
while others may prefer mutual exclusivity.
- This approach allows either:
- Using a single "color" state (e.g., "bg-red" + "text-red").
- Defining separate "bg-color" and "text-color" states for independent
styling.
4. **Good light and dark modes by default**
- Many major editors (Google Docs, OneNote, Word) treat dark mode as an
afterthought, leading to poor UX.
- We provide a well-balanced default palette that looks great in both
themes, serving as a strong foundation for customization.
5. **Feature name. Why TextState?**
- Other names considered were `TextFormatFeature` and
`TextStylesFeature`. The term `format` in Lexical and Payload is already
used to refer to something else (italic, bold, etc.). The term `style`
could be misleading since it is never attached to the editorState.
- State seems appropriate because:
- Lexical's new state API is used under the hood.
- Perhaps in the future we'll want to make state features for other
nodes, such as `ElementStateFeature` or `RootStateFeature`.
Note: There's a bug in Lexical's `forEachSelectedTextNode`. When the
selection includes a textNode partially on the left, all state for that
node is removed instead of splitting it along the selection edge.
Converts all text and field labels into variables that can be
translated. Also generated the translations for them
So now the UI here is internationalised
I've also moved some of the generic labels into the core package since
those could be re-used elsewhere
I think it's easier to review this PR commit by commit, so I'll explain
it this way:
## Commits
1. [parallelize eslint script (still showing logs results in
serial)](c9ac49c12d):
Previously, `--concurrency 1` was added to the script to make the logs
more readable. However, turborepo has an option specifically for these
use cases: `--log-order=grouped` runs the tasks in parallel but outputs
them serially. As a result, the lint script is now significantly faster.
2. [run pnpm
lint:fix](9c128c276a)
The auto-fix was run, which resolved some eslint errors that were
slipped in due to the use of `no-verify`. Most of these were
`perfectionist` fixes (property ordering) and the removal of unnecessary
assertions. Starting with this PR, this won't happen again in the
future, as we'll be verifying the linter in every PR across the entire
codebase (see commit 7).
3. [fix eslint non-autofixable
errors](700f412a33)
All manual errors have been resolved except for the configuration errors
addressed in commit 5. Most were React compiler violations, which have
been disabled and commented out "TODO" for now. There's also an unused
`use no memo` and a couple of `require` errors.
4. [move react-compiler linter to eslint-config
package](4f7cb4d63a)
To simplify the eslint configuration. My concern was that there would be
a performance regression when used in non-react related packages, but
none was experienced. This is probably because it only runs on .tsx
files.
5. [remove redundant eslint config files and fix
allowDefaultProject](a94347995a)
The main feature introduced by `typescript-eslint` v8 was
`projectService`, which automatically searches each file for the closest
`tsconfig`, greatly simplifying configuration in monorepos
([source](https://typescript-eslint.io/blog/announcing-typescript-eslint-v8#project-service)).
Once I moved `projectService` to `packages/eslint-config`, all the other
configuration files could be easily removed.
I confirmed that pnpm lint still works on individual packages.
The other important change was that the pending eslint errors from
commits 2 and 3 were resolved. That is, some files were giving the
error: "[File] was not found by the project service. Consider either
including it in the tsconfig.json or including it in
allowDefaultProject." Below I copy the explanatory comment I left in the
code:
```ts
// This is necessary because `tsconfig.base.json` defines `"rootDir": "${configDir}/src"`,
// And the following files aren't in src because they aren't transpiled.
// This is typescript-eslint's way of adding files that aren't included in tsconfig.
// See: https://typescript-eslint.io/troubleshooting/typed-linting/#i-get-errors-telling-me--was-not-found-by-the-project-service-consider-either-including-it-in-the-tsconfigjson-or-including-it-in-allowdefaultproject
// The best practice is to have a tsconfig.json that covers ALL files and is used for
// typechecking (with noEmit), and a `tsconfig.build.json` that is used for the build
// (or alternatively, swc, tsup or tsdown). That's what we should ideally do, in which case
// this hardcoded list wouldn't be necessary. Note that these files don't currently go
// through ts, only through eslint.
```
6. [Differentiate errors from warnings in VScode ESLint
Rules](5914d2f48d)
There's no reason to do that. If an eslint rule isn't an error, it
should be disabled or converted to a warning.
7. [Disable skip lint, and lint over the entire repo now that it's
faster](e4b28f1360)
The GitHub action linted only the files that had changed in the PR.
While this seems like a good idea, once exceptions were introduced with
[skip lint], they opened the door to propagating more and more errors.
Often, the linter was skipped, not because someone introduced new
errors, but because they were trying to avoid those that had already
crept in, sometimes accidentally introducing new ones.
On the other hand, `pnpm lint` now runs in parallel (commit 1), so it's
not that slow. Additionally, it runs in parallel with other GitHub
actions like e2e tests, which take much longer, so it can't represent a
bottleneck in CI.
8. [fix lint in next
package](4506595f91)
Small fix missing from commit 5
9. [Merge remote-tracking branch 'origin/main' into
fix-eslint](563d4909c1)
10. [add again eslint.config.js in payload
package](78f6ffcae7)
The comment in the code explains it. Basically, after the merge from
main, the payload package runs out of memory when linting, probably
because it grew in recent PRs. That package will sooner or later
collapse for our tooling, so we may have to split it. It's already too
big.
## Future Actions
- Resolve React compiler violations, as mentioned in commit 3.
- Decouple the `tsconfig` used for typechecking and build across the
entire monorepo (as explained in point 5) to ensure ts coverage even for
files that aren't transpiled (such as scripts).
- Remove the few remaining `eslint.config.js`. I had to leave the
`richtext-lexical` and `next` ones for now. They could be moved to the
root config and scoped to their packages, as we do for example with
`templates/vercel-postgres/**`. However, I couldn't get it to work, I
don't know why.
- Make eslint in the test folder usable. Not only are we not linting
`test` in CI, but now the `pnpm eslint .` command is so large that my
computer freezes. If each suite were its own package, this would be
solved, and dynamic codegen + git hooks to modify tsconfig.base.json
wouldn't be necessary
([related](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/pull/11984)).
### What?
Swaps out `deepAssertEqual` for `dequal` package. Further details and
motivation in [this
discussion](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/discussions/12192).
### Why?
Dequal is about 100x faster in limited local testing. Dequal package
shows 3-5x speed over `deepAssertEqual` in benchmarks. Memory usage is
within acceptable levels.
### How?
Move the result of dequal to a `const` for readability. Replace the `try
{ ... } catch { ... }` with `if { ... } else { ... }` for minimum impact
and change.
**BREAKING CHANGE:**
This bumps the **minimum required Next.js** version from 15.0.0 to
15.2.3. This update is necessary due to a critical security
vulnerability found in earlier Next.js versions, which requires an
exception to our standard semantic versioning process.
Additionally, this bumps all templates to the latest Next.js and Payload
versions.
Ensures all s3 sockets are cleaned up. Now passes through default
request handler options that `@smithy/node-http-handler` now handles
properly.
Fixes#6382
```ts
const defaultRequestHandlerOpts: NodeHttpHandlerOptions = {
httpAgent: {
keepAlive: true,
maxSockets: 100,
},
httpsAgent: {
keepAlive: true,
maxSockets: 100,
},
}
```
If you continue to have socket issues, you can customize any of the
options by setting `requestHandler` property on your s3 config. This
will take precedence if set.
```ts
requestHandler: {
httpAgent: {
maxSockets: 300,
keepAlive: true,
},
httpsAgent: {
maxSockets: 300,
keepAlive: true,
},
// Optional, only set these if you continue to see issues. Be wary of timeouts if you're dealing with large files.
// time limit (ms) for receiving response.
requestTimeout: 5_000,
// time limit (ms) for establishing connection.
connectionTimeout: 5_000,
}),
```
This bumps all eslint packages, ensuring compatibility with TypeScript 5.7.3. Previously, the following would be thrown:
```bash
WARNING: You are currently running a version of TypeScript which is not officially supported by @typescript-eslint/typescript-estree.
You may find that it works just fine, or you may not.
SUPPORTED TYPESCRIPT VERSIONS: >=4.7.4 <5.7.0

```
This [might have caused errors during linting](https://payloadcms.slack.com/archives/C04H7CQ615K/p1741707183505329?thread_ts=1741707036.030089&cid=C04H7CQ615K).

`ui` lint before: ✖ 154 problems (12 errors, 142 warnings)
`ui` lint after: ✖ 267 problems (12 errors, 255 warnings)
The additional warnings in `ui` come from the new `@eslint-react/no-use-context` and `@eslint-react/no-context-provider` rules which are good to have in React 19.
Deprecates the old HTML converter and introduces a new one that functions similarly to our Lexical => JSX converter.
The old converter had the following limitations:
- It imported the entire lexical bundle
- It was challenging to implement. The sanitized lexical editor config had to be passed in as an argument, which was difficult to obtain
- It only worked on the server
This new HTML converter is lightweight, user-friendly, and works on both server and client. Instead of retrieving HTML converters from the editor config, they can be explicitly provided to the converter function.
By default, the converter expects populated data to function properly. If you need to use unpopulated data (e.g., when running it from a hook), you also have the option to use the async HTML converter, exported from `@payloadcms/richtext-lexical/html-async`, and provide a `populate` function - this function will then be used to dynamically populate nodes during the conversion process.
## Example 1 - generating HTML in your frontend
```tsx
'use client'
import type { SerializedEditorState } from '@payloadcms/richtext-lexical/lexical'
import { convertLexicalToHTML } from '@payloadcms/richtext-lexical/html'
import React from 'react'
export const MyComponent = ({ data }: { data: SerializedEditorState }) => {
const html = convertLexicalToHTML({ data })
return <div dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{ __html: html }} />
}
```
## Example - converting Lexical Blocks
```tsx
'use client'
import type { MyInlineBlock, MyTextBlock } from '@/payload-types'
import type {
DefaultNodeTypes,
SerializedBlockNode,
SerializedInlineBlockNode,
} from '@payloadcms/richtext-lexical'
import type { SerializedEditorState } from '@payloadcms/richtext-lexical/lexical'
import {
convertLexicalToHTML,
type HTMLConvertersFunction,
} from '@payloadcms/richtext-lexical/html'
import React from 'react'
type NodeTypes =
| DefaultNodeTypes
| SerializedBlockNode<MyTextBlock>
| SerializedInlineBlockNode<MyInlineBlock>
const htmlConverters: HTMLConvertersFunction<NodeTypes> = ({ defaultConverters }) => ({
...defaultConverters,
blocks: {
// Each key should match your block's slug
myTextBlock: ({ node, providedCSSString }) =>
`<div style="background-color: red;${providedCSSString}">${node.fields.text}</div>`,
},
inlineBlocks: {
// Each key should match your inline block's slug
myInlineBlock: ({ node, providedStyleTag }) =>
`<span${providedStyleTag}>${node.fields.text}</span$>`,
},
})
export const MyComponent = ({ data }: { data: SerializedEditorState }) => {
const html = convertLexicalToHTML({
converters: htmlConverters,
data,
})
return <div dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{ __html: html }} />
}
```
## Example 3 - outputting HTML from the collection
```ts
import type { HTMLConvertersFunction } from '@payloadcms/richtext-lexical/html'
import type { MyTextBlock } from '@/payload-types.js'
import type { CollectionConfig } from 'payload'
import {
BlocksFeature,
type DefaultNodeTypes,
lexicalEditor,
lexicalHTMLField,
type SerializedBlockNode,
} from '@payloadcms/richtext-lexical'
const Pages: CollectionConfig = {
slug: 'pages',
fields: [
{
name: 'nameOfYourRichTextField',
type: 'richText',
editor: lexicalEditor(),
},
lexicalHTMLField({
htmlFieldName: 'nameOfYourRichTextField_html',
lexicalFieldName: 'nameOfYourRichTextField',
}),
{
name: 'customRichText',
type: 'richText',
editor: lexicalEditor({
features: ({ defaultFeatures }) => [
...defaultFeatures,
BlocksFeature({
blocks: [
{
interfaceName: 'MyTextBlock',
slug: 'myTextBlock',
fields: [
{
name: 'text',
type: 'text',
},
],
},
],
}),
],
}),
},
lexicalHTMLField({
htmlFieldName: 'customRichText_html',
lexicalFieldName: 'customRichText',
// can pass in additional converters or override default ones
converters: (({ defaultConverters }) => ({
...defaultConverters,
blocks: {
myTextBlock: ({ node, providedCSSString }) =>
`<div style="background-color: red;${providedCSSString}">${node.fields.text}</div>`,
},
})) as HTMLConvertersFunction<DefaultNodeTypes | SerializedBlockNode<MyTextBlock>>,
}),
],
}
```
Imports https://github.com/payloadcms/payload-admin-bar into the Payload
monorepo. This package will now be regularly maintained directly
alongside all Payload packages and now includes its own test suite.
A few changes minor have been made between v1.0.7 and latest:
1. The package name has changed from `payload-admin-bar` to
`@payloadcms/admin-bar`.
```diff
- import { PayloadAdminBar } from 'payload-admin-bar'
+ import { PayloadAdminBar } from '@payloadcms/admin-bar'
```
2. The `collection` prop has been renamed to `collectionSlug`
3. The `authCollection` prop has been renamed to `authCollectionSlug`
Here's a screenshot of the admin bar in use within the Website Template:

If `experimental.fullySpecified` is set to `true` in the next config, the Payload admin panel fails to compile, throwing the following error:
```ts
Failed to compile.
../../node_modules/.pnpm/@payloadcms+next@3.25.0-canary.46647b4_@types+react@18.3.1_graphql@16.10.0_monaco-editor@0.40_w3ro7ziou6gzev7zbe3qqrwaqe/node_modules/@payloadcms/next/dist/views/Version/RenderFieldsToDiff/fields/Select/DiffViewer/index.js
Attempted import error: 'DiffMethod' is not exported from 'react-diff-viewer-continued' (imported as 'DiffMethod').
```
The issue stems from incorrect import statements in `react-diff-viewer-continued` 4.0.4. This was fixed in `react-diff-viewer-continued` 4.0.5.
This PR also enables `fullySpecified` in our test suites, to catch these issues going forward.
Migrates the `db-mongodb` package to use `strict: true` and
`noUncheckedIndexedAccess: true` TSConfig properties.
This greatly improves code quality and prevents some runtime errors or
gives better error messages.
This bumps next.js to 15.2.0 in our monorepo, as well as all @types/react and @types/react-dom versions. Additionally, it removes the obsolete `peerDependencies` property from our root package.json.
This PR also fixes 2 bugs introduced by Next.js 15.2.0. This highlights why running our test suite against the latest Next.js, to make sure Payload is compatible, version is important.
## 1. handleWhereChange running endlessly
Upgrading to Next.js 15.2.0 caused `handleWhereChange` to be continuously called by a `useEffect` when the list view filters were opened, leading to a React error - I did not investigate why upgrading the Next.js version caused that, but this PR fixes it by making use of the more predictable `useEffectEvent`.
## 2. Custom Block and Array label React key errors
Upgrading to Next.js 15.2.0 caused react key errors when rendering custom block and array row labels on the server. This has been fixed by rendering those with a key
## 3. Table React key errors
When rendering a `Table`, a React key error is thrown since Next.js 15.2.0
Restoring a version has two types of messages, success and error, but no
matter if this action is a success or a failure, the toast message is
never displayed.
The fix is to import the toast from `@payloadcms/ui` instead of `sonner`
directly.
Fixes#11059
The `@monaco-editor/react` package now includes React 19 in its peer
dependencies thanks to
https://github.com/suren-atoyan/monaco-react/pull/651. This package was
also incorrectly listed in `payload` as a regular dependency, but since
it's only used for type imports, it should be listed a dev dependency
instead.
### What?
Implement the
[typescript-strict-plugin](https://github.com/allegro/typescript-strict-plugin)
plugin in the payload (core) package.
### Why?
1. One strategy for incremental migration is to enable strictness rules
in tsconfig, fix some errors, and push them without committing the
changes to tsconfig.json. However, this is not feasible for a package as
large as Payload that has over 1000 typescript errors. Until the work is
done, new contributions would undo the work being done.
2. Even if no migration work is done after this PR, this change already
improves the strictness of the package. 89 of the 311 files within the
package already satisfy strict mode. This PR only adds a comment
`@ts-strict-ignore` to files that had at least one compilation error.
This way, the propagation of errors in those files is stopped.
3. New files created in the package are strict by default (this was the
main improvement in version 2 of `typescript-strict-plugin`).
I recommend starting the migration with this package because it is the
one that almost all the others depend on. Once we finish this package,
we can repeat the same strategy on another one, or use the strategy I
mentioned in point 1 if the package is small.
### Note
If you don't see errors in the IDE when you uncomment `//
@ts-strict-ignore`, try restarting the typescript server or VSCode
### How to contribute to the migration ❤️
1. Remove `// @ts-strict-ignore` comments from 1 or more files
2. Fix the pending errors (they should appear in your IDE's intellisense
or when running `cd packages/payload` + `pnpm build:types`
3. Submit your PR!
Important: You don't need to fix everything at once! Furthermore, I
recommend breaking this down into very small PRs to trace potential
issues later if there are any. So if you have 5 minutes, tackle a small
file—every bit counts! 🤗
