# 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:** 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
```

## Description
### Issue:
Non-animated webp / gif files were using `metadata.pages` to calculate
it's resized heights for `imageSizes` or `cropping`.
### Fix:
It should only use this to calculate it's height if the file's
`metadata` contains `metadata.pages`. Non-animated webps and gifs would
not have this.

Fixes https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/6637
There was an issue where tab paths were being generated based on 2
scenarios when there are 3 possible scenarios:
- A path is provided and the tab is named
- A path is **not** provided but the tab is named
- Neither a path or a tab name are provided
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
}
}
```
## Description
Updates the `fields` override in plugin redirects to allow for
overriding
```ts

**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)
## Description
fixes#6630
# BREAKING CHANGES
This only applies to you if you using db-postgres and have created the
`v2-v3-relationships` migration released in
[v3.0.0-beta.39](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/releases/tag/v3.0.0-beta.39)
from @payloadcms/db-postgres <= v3.0.0-beta.40.
### Steps to fix
- Delete the existing v2-v3-relationships migration file.
- If changes were made to your config since the previous migration was
made, you will need to revert those by checking out a previous commit in
your version control.
- Recreate the migration using `payload migrate:create --file
@payloadcms/db-postgres/relationships-v2-v3` to make the migration with
the snapshot .json file.
**BREAKING:**
- This upgrades the required version of lexical from 0.15.0 to 0.16.0.
If you are using lexical directly in your project, possibly due to
custom features, there might be breaking changes for you. Please consult
the lexical 0.16.0 changelog:
https://github.com/facebook/lexical/releases/tag/v0.16.0
**BREAKING**: useEditorFocusProvider has been removed and merged with
useEditorConfigContext. You can now find information about the focused
editor, parent editors and child editors within useEditorConfigContext
BREAKING CHANGE:
Moves `upload` field and `relationship` fields with `hasMany: false` &
`relationTo: string` from the many-to-many `_rels` join table to simple
columns. This only affects Postgres database users.
## TL;DR
We have dramatically simplified the storage of simple relationships in
relational databases to boost performance and align with more expected
relational paradigms. If you are using the beta Postgres adapter, and
you need to keep simple relationship data, you'll need to run a
migration script that we provide you.
### Background
For example, prior to this update, a collection of "posts" with a simple
`hasMany: false` and `relationTo: 'categories'` field would have a
`posts_rels` table where the category relations would be stored.
This was somewhat unnecessary as simple relations like this can be
expressed with a `category_id` column which is configured as a foreign
key. This also introduced added complexity for dealing directly with the
database if all you have are simple relations.
### Who needs to migrate
You need to migrate if you are using the beta Postgres database adapter
and any of the following applies to you.
- If you have versions enabled on any collection / global
- If you use the `upload` field
- If you have relationship fields that are `hasMany: false` (default)
and `relationTo` to a single category ([has
one](https://payloadcms.com/docs/fields/relationship#has-one)) relations
### We have a migration for you
Even though the Postgres adapter is in beta, we've prepared a predefined
migration that will work out of the box for you to migrate from an
earlier version of the adapter to the most recent version easily.
It makes the schema changes in step with actually moving the data from
the old locations to the new before adding any null constraints and
dropping the old columns and tables.
### How to migrate
The steps to preserve your data while making this update are as follows.
These steps are the same whether you are moving from Payload v2 to v3 or
a previous version of v3 beta to the most recent v3 beta.
**Important: during these steps, don't start the dev server unless you
have `push: false` set on your Postgres adapter.**
#### Step 1 - backup
Always back up your database before performing big changes, especially
in production cases.
#### Step 2 - create a pre-update migration
Before updating to new Payload and Postgres adapter versions, run
`payload migrate:create` without any other config changes to have a
prior snapshot of the schema from the previous adapter version
#### Step 3 - if you're migrating a dev DB, delete the dev `push` row
from your `payload_migrations` table
If you're migrating a dev database where you have the default setting to
push database changes directly to your DB, and you need to preserve data
in your development database, then you need to delete a `dev` migration
record from your database.
Connect directly to your database in any tool you'd like and delete the
dev push record from the `payload_migrations` table using the following
SQL statement:
```sql
DELETE FROM payload_migrations where batch = -1`
```
#### Step 4 - update Payload and Postgres versions to most recent
Update packages, making sure you have matching versions across all
`@payloadcms/*` and `payload` packages (including
`@payloadcms/db-postgres`)
#### Step 5 - create the predefined migration
Run the following command to create the predefined migration we've
provided:
```
payload migrate:create --file @payloadcms/db-postgres/relationships-v2-v3
```
#### Step 6 - migrate!
Run migrations with the following command:
```
payload migrate
```
Assuming the migration worked, you can proceed to commit this change and
distribute it to be run on all other environments.
Note that if two servers connect to the same database, only one should
be running migrations to avoid transaction conflicts.

Closes#6455. Proper localization support will be worked on later, this
just resolves the issue where having it enabled not only doesn't
localize those fields, it also omits them from the API response. Now,
they are not omitted, and localization is simply skipped.
**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.
Fixes webpack issue with isHotkey: `TypeError:
is_hotkey__WEBPACK_IMPORTED_MODULE_9__ is not a function`
Changing this from a default import to a named export, and it appears to
resolve the issue.
Fixes#6421
## Description
Renames the `Save` to `SaveButton`, etc. to match the already
established convention of the `PreviewButton`, etc. This matches the
imports with their respective component and type names, and also gives
these components more context to the developer whenever they're
rendered, i.e. its clearly just a button and not an entire block or
complex component.
**BREAKING**:
Import paths for these components have changed, if you were previously
importing these components into your own projects to customize, change
the import paths accordingly:
Old:
```ts
import { PublishButton } from '@payloadcms/ui/elements/Publish'
import { SaveButton } from '@payloadcms/ui/elements/Save'
import { SaveDraftButton } from '@payloadcms/ui/elements/SaveDraft'
```
New:
```ts
import { PublishButton } from '@payloadcms/ui/elements/PublishButton'
import { SaveButton } from '@payloadcms/ui/elements/SaveButton'
import { SaveDraftButton } from '@payloadcms/ui/elements/SaveDraftButton'
```

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'
```
Added additional prompt to make sure the translation we receive is using
formal language where it makes sense.
In the context of latin languages for example:
- Spanish: "tu" should be using "vos"
- French: "tu" should be using "votre"
These differences can affect verb conjugations and in these languages it
comes across as less professional if informal language is used.
## Description
Closes
[#225](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload-3.0-demo/issues/225).
The user verification emails are not being sent and this error is shown:
```ts
APIError: Error sending email: 422 validation_error - Invalid `from` field. The email address needs to follow the `email@example.com` or `Name <email@example.com>` format.
```
The issue is resolved by updating the `from` property on the outgoing
verification email:
```ts
from: `"${email.defaultFromName}" <${email.defaultFromName}>`,
// to
from: `"${email.defaultFromName}" <${email. defaultFromAddress}>`,
```
**NOTE:** This was not broken in 2.0, see correct outgoing email

---------
Co-authored-by: PatrikKozak <patrik@payloadcms.com>
When typing into the search input on the list view of a collection, the
`like` operator is used for id which causes an error for postgres. To
fix this we are sanitizing the `like` for number or uuid fields to
instead be an `equals` operator. An alternate solution would have been
to cast the ids to text `id::text` but this would have performence
implications on larger data sets.

## Description
* The apostrophe character `’` should be used instead of the single
quote `'`
* Gender corrections: "L’adresse e-mail fourni**e**", "Vérification
échoué**e**"
* Lowercase: "Supprimer le **té**léversement"
* Dark and light theme: I think it makes more sense to use "Sombre" and
"Clair" here to identify the theme. Day/Night modes imply a hue/warmth
correction and are different features altogether. Reference:
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mode_sombre#Mode_sombre_et_mode_nuit_ou_chaud
* Fix accent: "Mis à jour avec succ**è**s"
* "Bienvenue" I think would be the correct standalone greeting form.
Reference:
https://www.projet-voltaire.fr/question-orthographe/orthographe-bienvenu-bienvenue-chez-moi/
* "Recadrer" is the correct word for "crop". "Récolte" means "crop" in
the sense of "harvest", so this was probably a bad literal Google
Translate that slipped through.
* Correct all "Es-tu sûr ?" to the proper formal "Êtes-vous sûr ?" for
consistency
* Use _article défini_ since we will enumerate the values: "Ce champ
contient **les** sélections invalides suivantes :"
* Space before question marks

**BREAKING:** This upgrades all lexical packages from 0.14.5 to 0.15.0.
If there are any breaking changes within lexical, this could break your
project if you use lexical APIs directly (e.g. in custom features). We
have not noticed any breaking changes within core. Please consult their
changelog: https://github.com/facebook/lexical/releases/tag/v0.15.0
## Description
Fixes https://github.com/payloadcms/payload-3.0-demo/issues/215
imports like import LogoSVG from '@/components/logo.svg' did not make it
to the TS module resolution, due to the early isClient check.
And the isClient check only uses node module resolution (using
nextResolves) which throws an error here.
This removes module resolution completely, as we "ignore" client files
anyways. Should also help improve performance, and we do not have to
fall back to ts module resolution for client files that way, which would
be unnecessary

**Breaking:** The following, exported components now need the `payload` object as a prop rather than the `config` object:
- `RenderCustomComponent` (optional)
- `Logo`
- `DefaultTemplate`
- `DefaultNav`
Breaking Changes:
- Globals config: `admin.description` no longer accepts a custom component. You will have to move it to `admin.components.elements.Description`
- Collections config: `admin.description` no longer accepts a custom component. You will have to move it to `admin.components.edit.Description`
- All Fields: `field.admin.description` no longer accepts a custom component. You will have to move it to `field.admin.components.Description`
- Collapsible Field: `field.label` no longer accepts a custom component. You will have to move it to `field.admin.components.RowLabel`
- Array Field: `field.admin.components.RowLabel` no longer accepts strings or records
- If you are using our exported field components in your own app, their `labelProps` property has been stripped down and no longer contains the `label` and `required` prop. Those can now only be configured at the top-level
**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:
- The default inline toolbar has now been extracted into an `InlineToolbarFeature`. While it's part of the defaultFeatures, you might have to add it to your editor features if you are not including the defaultFeatures and still want to keep the inline toolbar (floating toolbar)
- Some types have been renamed, e.g. `InlineToolbarGroup` is now `ToolbarGroup`, and `InlineToolbarGroupItem` is now `ToolbarGroupItem`
- The `displayName` property of SlashMenuGroup and SlashMenuItem has been renamed to `label` to match the `label` prop of the toolbars
- The `inlineToolbarFeatureButtonsGroupWithItem`, `inlineToolbarFormatGroupWithItems` and `inlineToolbarTextDropdownGroupWithItems` exports have been renamed to `toolbarTextDropdownGroupWithItems`, `toolbarFormatGroupWithItems`, `toolbarFeatureButtonsGroupWithItems`
BREAKING CHANGE: All plugins have been updated to use named exports and the names have been updated to be consistent.

**BREAKING:**
If you have own, custom lexical features, there will be a bunch of breaking API changes for you. The saved JSON data is not affected.
- `floatingSelectToolbar` has been changed to `toolbarInline`
- `slashMenu.dynamicOptions `and `slashMenu.options` have been changed to `slashMenu.groups` and `slashMenu.dynamicGroups`
- `toolbarFixed.sections` is now `toolbarFixed.groups`
- Slash menu group `options` and toolbar group `entries` have both been renamed to `items`
- Toolbar group item `onClick` has been renamed to `onSelect` to match slash menu properties
- slashMenu item `onSelect` is no longer auto-wrapped inside an `editor.update`. If you perform editor updates in them, you have to wrap it inside an `editor.update` callback yourself. Within our own features this extra control has removed a good amount of unnecessary, nested `editor.update` calls, which is good
- Slash menu items are no longer initialized using the `new` keyword, as they are now types and no longer classes. You can convert them to an object and add the `key` property as an object property instead of an argument to the previous SlashMenuItem constructor
- CSS classnames for slash menu and toolbars, as well as their items, have changed
- `CheckListFeature` is now exported as and has been renamed to `ChecklistFeature`
For guidance on migration, check out how we migrated our own features in this PR's diff: https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/pull/6191/files
BREAKING: this will now display errors if you're previously had invalid link or upload fields data - for example if you have a required field added to an uploads node and did not provide a value to it every time you've added an upload node
BREAKING: this will now display errors if you're previously had invalid link or upload fields data - for example if you have a required field added to an uploads node and did not provide a value to it every time you've added an upload node
**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:
- Lexical may introduce breaking changes in their updates. Please consult their changelog. One breaking change I noticed is that the SerializedParagraphNode now has a new, required textFormat property.
- Now that lexical supports ESM, all CJS-style imports have been changed to ESM-style imports. You may have to do the same in your codebase if you import from lexical core packages
BREAKING:
- Unpopulated lexical relationship, link and upload nodes now save the relationTo document ID under value instead of value.id. This matches the behavior of core relationship fields. This changes the shape of the saved JSON data
- Any custom features which add their own population promises need to be reworked. populationPromises no longer accepts the promises as a return value. Instead, it expects you to mutate the promises array which is passed through, which mimics the way it works in core

It will scan commits between that and the prior release, find associated Issues and PRs, and comment on them to let people know a release has been made. Associated Issues and PRs can be directly [linked](https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/github/managing-your-work-on-github/linking-a-pull-request-to-an-issue) to the commit or manually linked from a PR associated with the commit.
## Inputs
**GITHUB_TOKEN**
A GitHub personal access token with repo scope, such as [`secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN`](https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/actions/reference/authentication-in-a-workflow#about-the-github_token-secret).
**comment-template** (optional)
Override the comment posted on Issues and PRs. Set to the empty string to disable commenting. Several variables strings will be automatically replaced:
-`{release_link}` - a markdown link to the release
-`{release_name}` - the release's name
-`{release_tag}` - the release's tag
**label-template** (optional)
Add the given label. Multiple labels can be separated by commas. Several variable strings will be automatically replaced:
-`{release_name}` - the release's name
-`{release_tag}` - the release's tag
**skip-label** (optional)
Skip processing if any of the given labels are present. Same processing rules as **label-template**. Default is "dependencies".
## Example
```yml
on:
release:
types:[published]
jobs:
release:
steps:
- uses:apexskier/github-release-commenter@v1
with:
GITHUB_TOKEN:${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
comment-template:|
Release {release_link} addresses this.
```
## Known limitations
These are some known limitations of this action. I'd like to try to address them in the future.
- Non-linear releases aren't supported. For example, releasing a patch to a prior major release after a new major release has been bumped.
- Non-sequential releases aren't supported. For example, if you release multiple prereleases between two official releases, this will only create a comment for the first prerelease in which a fix is released, not the final release.
- The first release for a project will be ignored. This is intentional, as the use case is unlikely. Most projects will either have several alphas that don't need release comments, or won't use issues/PRs for the first commit.
- If a large number of things are commented on, you may see the error `Error: You have triggered an abuse detection mechanism. Please wait a few minutes before you try again.`. Consider using the `skip-label` input to reduce your load on the GitHub API.
## Versions
Workflows will automatically update the tags `v1` and `latest`, allowing you to reference one of those instead of locking to a specific release.
We cannot recreate the issue with the provided information. **Please add a reproduction in order for us to be able to investigate.**
### Why was this issue marked with the `invalid-reproduction` label?
To be able to investigate, we need access to a reproduction to identify what triggered the issue. We prefer a link to a public GitHub repository created with `create-payload-app@beta -t blank` or a forked/branched version of this repository with tests added (more info in the [reproduction-guide](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/blob/main/.github/reproduction-guide.md)).
To make sure the issue is resolved as quickly as possible, please make sure that the reproduction is as **minimal** as possible. This means that you should **remove unnecessary code, files, and dependencies** that do not contribute to the issue. Ensure your reproduction does not depend on secrets, 3rd party registries, private dependencies, or any other data that cannot be made public. Avoid a reproduction including a whole monorepo (unless relevant to the issue). The easier it is to reproduce the issue, the quicker we can help.
Please test your reproduction against the latest version of Payload to make sure your issue has not already been fixed.
### I added a link, why was it still marked?
Ensure the link is pointing to a codebase that is accessible (e.g. not a private repository). "[example.com](http://example.com/)", "n/a", "will add later", etc. are not acceptable links -- we need to see a public codebase. See the above section for accepted links.

When you perform Payload operations like `create`, `read`, `update`, and `delete`, your access control functions will be executed before any changes or operations are completed.
#### Within the Admin UI
### Within the Admin UI
The Payload Admin UI responds dynamically to the access control that you define. For example, if you restrict editing a `ExampleCollection` to only users that feature a `role` of `admin`, the Payload Admin UI will **hide** the `ExampleCollection` from the Admin UI entirely. This is super powerful and allows you to control who can do what with your Admin UI.
To accomplish this, Payload ships with an `Access` operation, which is executed when a user logs into the Admin UI. Payload will execute each one of your access control functions, across all collections, globals, and fields, at the top level and return a response that contains a reflection of what the currently authenticated user can do with your application.
desc: Bundlers are used to bundle the code that serves Payload's Admin Panel.
---
Payload has two official bundlers, the [Webpack Bundler](/docs/admin/webpack) and the [Vite Bundler](/docs/admin/vite). You must install a bundler to use the admin panel.
##### Install a bundler
Webpack (recommended):
```text
yarn add @payloadcms/bundler-webpack
```
Vite (beta):
```text
yarn add @payloadcms/bundler-vite
```
##### Configure the bundler
```ts
// payload.config.ts
import { buildConfig } from 'payload/config'
import { webpackBundler } from '@payloadcms/bundler-webpack'
// import { viteBundler } from '@payloadcms/bundler-vite'
export default buildConfig({
// highlight-start
admin: {
bundler: webpackBundler() // or viteBundler()
},
// highlight-end
})
```
### What are bundlers?
At their core, a bundler's main goal is to take a bunch of files and turn them into a few optimized files that you ship to the browser. The admin UI has a root `index.html` entry point, and from there the bundler traverses the dependency tree, bundling all of the files that are required from that point on.
Since the bundled file is sent to the browser, it can't include any server-only code. You will need to remove any server-only code from your admin UI before bundling it. You can learn more about [excluding server code](/docs/admin/excluding-server-code) section.
<Banner type="warning">
<strong>Using environment variables in the admin UI</strong>

Bundles should not contain sensitive information. By default, Payload
excludes env variables from the bundle. If you need to use env variables in your payload config,

#### Views
You can easily swap entire views with your own by using the `admin.components.views` property. At the root level, Payload renders the following views by default, all of which can be overridden:
| **`Account`** | The Account view is used to show the currently logged in user's Account page. |
| **`Dashboard`** | The main landing page of the Admin panel. |
To swap out any of these views, simply pass in your custom component to the `admin.components.views` property of your Payload config. For example:
```ts
// payload.config.ts
{
// ...
admin: {
components: {
views: {
Account: MyCustomAccountView,
Dashboard: MyCustomDashboardView,
},
},
},
}
```
For more granular control, pass a configuration object instead. Each view corresponds to its own `<Route />` component in [React Router v5](https://v5.reactrouter.com). Payload exposes all of the properties of React Router:
_\* An asterisk denotes that a property is required._
#### Adding new views
To add a _new_ view to the Admin Panel, simply add another key to the `views` object with at least a `path` and `Component` property. For example:
```ts
// payload.config.ts
{
// ...
admin: {
components: {
views: {
MyCustomView: {
Component: MyCustomView,
path: '/my-custom-view',
},

Routes are cascading. This means that unless explicitly given the `exact` property, they will match on URLs that simply _start_ with the route's path. This is helpful when creating catch-all routes in your application. Alternatively, you could define your nested route _before_ your parent route.

_For help on how to build your own custom view components, see [building a custom view component](#building-a-custom-view-component)._
**Customizing Nested Views within 'Edit' in Collections**
The `Edit` view in collections consists of several nested views, each serving a unique purpose. You can customize these nested views using the `admin.components.views.Edit` property in the collection's configuration. This approach allows you to replace specific nested views while keeping the overall structure of the `Edit` view intact, including the page breadcrumbs, title, tabs, etc.
Here's an example of how you can customize nested views within the `Edit` view in collections, including the use of the `actions` property:
```ts
// Collection.ts
{
// ...
admin: {
components: {
views: {
Edit: {
Default: {
Component: MyCustomDefaultTab,
actions: [CollectionEditButton], // Custom actions for the default edit view

**Customizing Nested Views within 'Edit' in Globals**
Similar to collections, Globals allow for detailed customization within the `Edit` view. This includes the ability to swap specific nested views while maintaining the overall structure of the `Edit` view. You can use the `admin.components.views.Edit` property in the Globals configuration to achieve this, and this will only replace the nested view, leaving the page breadcrumbs, title, and tabs intact.
Here's how you can customize nested views within the `Edit` view in Globals, including the use of the `actions` property:
```ts
// Global.ts
{
// ...
admin: {
components: {
views: {
Edit: {

},
Versions: {
Component: MyCustomGlobalVersionsView,
actions: [GlobalVersionsButton], // Custom actions for Versions view
},
},
},
},
},
}
```
You can also add _new_ tabs to the `Edit` view by adding another key to the `components.views.Edit[key]` object with a `path` and `Component` property. See [Custom Tabs](#custom-tabs) for more information.
### Custom Tabs
You can easily swap individual collection or global edit views. To do this, pass an _object_ to the `admin.components.views.Edit` property of the config. Payload renders the following views by default, all of which can be overridden:
Edit: { // You can also define `components.views.Edit` as a component, this will override _all_ nested views
Default: MyCustomDefaultTab,
Versions: MyCustomVersionsTab,
Version: MyCustomVersionTab,
API: MyCustomAPITab,
LivePreview: MyCustomLivePreviewTab,
},
},
},
},
}
```
To add a _new_ tab to the `Edit` view, simply add another key to `components.views.Edit[key]` with at least a `path` and `Component` property. For example:
| **`user`** | The currently logged in user. Will be `null` if no user is logged in. |
| **`canAccessAdmin`** \* | If the currently logged in user is allowed to access the admin panel or not. |
<Banner type="warning">
<strong>Note:</strong>
<br />
It's up to you to secure your custom views. If your view requires a user to be logged in or to
have certain access rights, you should handle that within your view component yourself.
</Banner>
#### Example
You can find examples of custom views in the [Payload source code `/test/admin/components/views` folder](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/tree/main/test/admin/components/views). There, you'll find two custom views:
1. A custom view that uses the `DefaultTemplate`, which is the built-in Payload template that displays the sidebar and "eyebrow nav"
1. A custom view that uses the `MinimalTemplate` - which is just a centered template used for things like logging in or out
To see how to pass in your custom views to create custom views of your own, take a look at the `admin.components.views` property of the [Payload test admin config](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/blob/main/test/admin/config.ts).
### Fields
All Payload fields support the ability to swap in your own React components. So, for example, instead of rendering a default Text input, you might need to render a color picker that provides the editor with a custom color picker interface to restrict the data entered to colors only.
<Banner type="success">
<strong>Tip:</strong>
<br />
Don't see a built-in field type that you need? Build it! Using a combination of custom validation
and custom components, you can override the entirety of how a component functions within the admin
panel and effectively create your own field type.
</Banner>
**Fields support the following custom components:**
| **`Filter`** | Override the text input that is presented in the `List` view when a user is filtering documents by the customized field. |
| **`Cell`** | Used in the `List` view's table to represent a table-based preview of the data stored in the field. [More](#cell-component) |
| **`Field`** | Swap out the field itself within all `Edit` views. [More](#field-component) |
As an alternative to replacing the entire Field component, you may want to keep the majority of the default Field component and only swap components within. This allows you to replace the **`Label`** or **`Error`** within a field component or add additional components inside the field with **`beforeInput`** or **`afterInput`**. **`beforeInput`** and **`afterInput`** are allowed in any fields that don't contain other fields, except [UI](/docs/fields/ui) and [Rich Text](/docs/fields/rich-text).
When writing your own custom components you can make use of a number of hooks to set data, get reactive changes to other fields, get the id of the document or interact with a context from a custom provider.
### Sending and receiving values from the form
When swapping out the `Field` component, you'll be responsible for sending and receiving the field's `value` from the form itself. To do so, import the `useField` hook as follows:
```tsx
import { useField } from 'payload/components/forms'
| **`showError`** | A boolean value that represents if the error should be shown. |
#### Example
```tsx
import React from 'react'
type Props = {
message: string
showError?: boolean
}
const CustomError: React.FC<Props> = (props) => {
const { message, showError } = props
if (showError) {
return <p style={{color: 'red'}}>{message}</p>
} else return null;
}
```
## afterInput and beforeInput
With these properties you can add multiple components before and after the input element. For example, you can add an absolutely positioned button to clear the current field value.
| **`views`** | Override or create new [Views](./views) within the [Admin Panel](./overview). |
## Custom providers
As your admin customizations gets more complex you may want to share state between fields or other components. You can add custom providers to add your own context to any Payload app for use in other custom components within the admin panel. Within your config add `admin.components.providers`, these can be used to share context or provide other custom functionality. Read the [React context](https://reactjs.org/docs/context.html) docs to learn more.

desc: Learn how to exclude server-only code from the Payload Admin UI bundle
---
Because the Admin Panel browser bundle includes your Payload Config file, files using server-only modules need to be excluded.
It's common for your config to rely on server only modules to perform logic in access control functions, hooks, and other contexts.
Any file that imports a server-only module such as `fs`, `stripe`, `authorizenet`, `nodemailer`, etc. **cannot** be included in the browser bundle.
#### Example Scenario
Say we have a collection called `Subscriptions` that has a `beforeChange` hook that creates a Stripe subscription whenever a Subscription document is created in Payload.
**Collection config**:
```ts
// collections/Subscriptions/index.ts
import { CollectionConfig } from 'payload/types'
import createStripeSubscription from './hooks/createStripeSubscription'
The above code is NOT production-ready and should not be referenced to create Stripe
subscriptions. Although creating a beforeChange hook is a completely valid spot to do things like
create subscriptions, the code above is incomplete and insecure, meant for explanation purposes
only.
</Banner>
**As-is, this collection will prevent your Admin panel from bundling or loading correctly, because Stripe relies on some Node-only packages.**
#### How to fix this
You need to make sure that you use `alias`es to tell your bundler to import "safe" files vs. attempting to import any server-side code that you need to get rid of. Depending on your bundler (Webpack, Vite, etc.) the steps involved may be slightly different.
The basic idea is to create a file that exports an empty object, and then alias import paths of any files that import server-only modules to that empty object file.
This way when your bundler goes to import a file that contains server-only modules, it will instead import the empty object file, which will not break the browser bundle.
### Aliasing server-only modules
To remove files that contain server-only modules from your bundle, you can use an `alias`.
In the Subscriptions config file above, we are importing the hook like so:
```ts
// collections/Subscriptions/index.ts
import createStripeSubscription from './hooks/createStripeSubscription'
```
By default the browser bundle will now include all the code from that file and any files down the tree. We know that the file imports `stripe`.
To fix this, we need to alias the `createStripeSubscription` file to a different file that can safely be included in the browser bundle.
First, we will create a mock file to replace the server-only file when bundling:
```js
// mocks/modules.js
export default {}
/**
* NOTE: if you are destructuring an import
* the mock file will need to export matching
* variables as the destructured object.
*
* export const namedExport = {}
*/
```
Aliasing with [Webpack](/docs/admin/webpack) can be done by:
```ts
// payload.config.ts
import { buildConfig } from 'payload/config'
import { webpackBundler } from '@payloadcms/bundler-webpack'
import { Subscriptions } from './collections/Subscriptions'
All Payload fields support the ability to swap in your own React components. So, for example, instead of rendering a default Text input, you might need to render a color picker that provides the editor with a custom color picker interface to restrict the data entered to colors only.

<strong>Tip:</strong>
<br />
Don't see a built-in field type that you need? Build it! Using a combination of custom validation
and custom components, you can override the entirety of how a component functions within the admin
panel and effectively create your own field type.
</Banner>
**Fields support the following custom components:**
| **`Filter`** | Override the text input that is presented in the `List` view when a user is filtering documents by the customized field. |
| **`Cell`** | Used in the `List` view's table to represent a table-based preview of the data stored in the field. [More](#cell-component) |
| **`Field`** | Swap out the field itself within all `Edit` views. [More](#field-component) |
As an alternative to replacing the entire Field component, you may want to keep the majority of the default Field component and only swap components within. This allows you to replace the **`Label`** or **`Error`** within a field component or add additional components inside the field with **`beforeInput`** or **`afterInput`**. **`beforeInput`** and **`afterInput`** are allowed in any fields that don't contain other fields, except [UI](/docs/fields/ui) and [Rich Text](/docs/fields/rich-text).
When writing your own custom components you can make use of a number of hooks to set data, get reactive changes to other fields, get the id of the document or interact with a context from a custom provider.
### Sending and receiving values from the form
When swapping out the `Field` component, you'll be responsible for sending and receiving the field's `value` from the form itself. To do so, import the `useField` hook as follows:
```tsx
import { useField } from 'payload/components/forms'
| **`showError`** | A boolean value that represents if the error should be shown. |
#### Example
```tsx
import React from 'react'
type Props = {
message: string
showError?: boolean
}
const CustomError: React.FC<Props> = (props) => {
const { message, showError } = props
if (showError) {
return <p style={{ color: 'red' }}>{message}</p>
} else return null
}
```
## afterInput and beforeInput
With these properties you can add multiple components before and after the input element. For example, you can add an absolutely positioned button to clear the current field value.
Payload provides a variety of powerful hooks that can be used within your own React components. With them, you can interface with Payload itself and build just about any type of complex customization you can think of—directly in familiar React code.

### useFormFields
## useFormFields
There are times when a custom field component needs to have access to data from other fields, and you have a few options to do so. The `useFormFields` hook is a powerful and highly performant way to retrieve a form's field state, as well as to retrieve the `dispatchFields` method, which can be helpful for setting other fields' form states from anywhere within a form.
**To retrieve more than one field**, you can use the `useAllFormFields` hook. Your component will re-render when _any_ field changes, so use this hook only if you absolutely need to. Unlike the `useFormFields` hook, this hook does not accept a "selector", and it always returns an array with type of `[fields: Fields, dispatch: React.Dispatch<Action>]]`.
If you are building a custom component, then you should use `setValue` which is returned from the `useField` hook to programmatically set your field's value. But if you're looking to update _another_ field's value, you can use `dispatchFields` returned from `useFormFields`.

### useForm
## useForm
The `useForm` hook can be used to interact with the form itself, and sends back many methods that can be used to reactively fetch form state without causing rerenders within your components each time a field is changed. This is useful if you have action-based callbacks that your components fire, and need to interact with form state _based on a user action_.
In any custom component you can get the selected locale object with the `useLocale` hook. `useLocale`gives you the full locale object, consisting of a `label`, `rtl`(right-to-left) property, and then `code`. Here is a simple example:
Useful to retrieve info about the currently logged in user as well as methods for interacting with it. It sends back an object with the following properties:
Sends back how many editing levels "deep" the current component is. Edit depth is relevant while adding new documents / editing documents in modal windows and other cases.
Returns methods to set and get user preferences. More info can be found [here](https://payloadcms.com/docs/admin/preferences).

You can easily swap entire views with your own by using the `admin.components.views` property. At the root level, Payload renders the following views by default, all of which can be overridden:
| **`Component`** \* | Pass in the component that should be rendered when a user navigates to this route. |
| **`path`** \* | Any valid URL path or array of paths that [`path-to-regexp`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/path-to-regex) understands. |
| **`exact`** | Boolean. When true, will only match if the path matches the `usePathname()` exactly. |
| **`strict`** | When true, a path that has a trailing slash will only match a location.pathname with a trailing slash. This has no effect when there are additional URL segments in the location.pathname. |
| **`sensitive`** | When true, will match if the path is case sensitive. |
_\* An asterisk denotes that a property is required._
#### Adding new root views
To add a _new_ view to the [Admin Panel](./overview), simply add another key to the `views` object with at least a `path` and `Component` property. For example:
```ts
// payload.config.ts
{
// ...
admin: {
components: {
views: {
MyCustomView: {
Component: MyCustomView,
path: '/my-custom-view',
},
},
},
},

<strong>Note:</strong>
<br />
Routes are cascading. This means that unless explicitly given the `exact` property, they will
match on URLs that simply _start_ with the route's path. This is helpful when creating catch-all
routes in your application. Alternatively, you could define your nested route _before_ your parent
route.

### Collections
To swap out entire views on collections, you can use the `admin.components.views` property on the collection's config. Payload renders the following views by default, all of which can be overridden:
| **`Edit`** | The Edit view is used to edit a single document for a given collection. |
| **`List`** | The List view is used to show a list of documents for a given collection. |
To swap out any of these views, simply pass in your custom component to the `admin.components.views` property of your Payload config. This will replace the entire view, including the page breadcrumbs, title, tabs, etc, _as well as all nested routes_.
```ts
// Collection.ts
{
// ...
admin: {
components: {
views: {
Edit: MyCustomEditView,
List: MyCustomListView,
},
},
},
}
```
For help on how to build your own custom view components, see [Building Custom View Components](#building-custom-view-components).
**Customizing Nested Views within 'Edit' in Collections**
The `Edit` view in collections consists of several nested views, each serving a unique purpose. You can customize these nested views using the `admin.components.views.Edit` property in the collection's configuration. This approach allows you to replace specific nested views while keeping the overall structure of the `Edit` view intact, including the page breadcrumbs, title, tabs, etc.
Here's an example of how you can customize nested views within the `Edit` view in collections, including the use of the `actions` property:
```ts
// Collection.ts
{
// ...
admin: {
components: {
views: {
Edit: {
Default: {
Component: MyCustomDefaultTab,
actions: [CollectionEditButton], // Custom actions for the default edit view
},
API: {
Component: MyCustomAPIView,
actions: [CollectionAPIButton], // Custom actions for API view
},
LivePreview: {
Component: MyCustomLivePreviewView,
actions: [CollectionLivePreviewButton], // Custom actions for Live Preview
},
Version: {
Component: MyCustomVersionView,
actions: [CollectionVersionButton], // Custom actions for Version view
},
Versions: {
Component: MyCustomVersionsView,
actions: [CollectionVersionsButton], // Custom actions for Versions view
},
},
List: {
actions: [CollectionListButton],
},
},
},
},
}
```
**Adding New Tabs to 'Edit' View**
You can also add _new_ tabs to the `Edit` view by adding another key to the `components.views.Edit[key]` object with a `path` and `Component` property. See [Custom Tabs](#custom-tabs) for more information.
### Globals
To swap out views for globals, you can use the `admin.components.views` property on the global's config. Payload renders the following views by default, all of which can be overridden:
| **`Edit`** | The Edit view is used to edit a single document for a given Global. |
To swap out any of these views, simply pass in your custom component to the `admin.components.views` property of your Payload config. This will replace the entire view, including the page breadcrumbs, title, and tabs, _as well as all nested views_.
```ts
// Global.ts
{
// ...
admin: {
components: {
views: {
Edit: MyCustomEditView,
},
},
},
}
```
For help on how to build your own custom view components, see [Building Custom View Components](#building-custom-view-components).
**Customizing Nested Views within 'Edit' in Globals**
Similar to collections, Globals allow for detailed customization within the `Edit` view. This includes the ability to swap specific nested views while maintaining the overall structure of the `Edit` view. You can use the `admin.components.views.Edit` property in the Globals configuration to achieve this, and this will only replace the nested view, leaving the page breadcrumbs, title, and tabs intact.
Here's how you can customize nested views within the `Edit` view in Globals, including the use of the `actions` property:
```ts
// Global.ts
{
// ...
admin: {
components: {
views: {
Edit: {
Default: {
Component: MyCustomGlobalDefaultTab,
actions: [GlobalEditButton], // Custom actions for the default edit view
},
API: {
Component: MyCustomGlobalAPIView,
actions: [GlobalAPIButton], // Custom actions for API view
},
LivePreview: {
Component: MyCustomGlobalLivePreviewView,
actions: [GlobalLivePreviewButton], // Custom actions for Live Preview
},
Version: {
Component: MyCustomGlobalVersionView,
actions: [GlobalVersionButton], // Custom actions for Version view
},
Versions: {
Component: MyCustomGlobalVersionsView,
actions: [GlobalVersionsButton], // Custom actions for Versions view
},
},
},
},
},
}
```
You can also add _new_ tabs to the `Edit` view by adding another key to the `components.views.Edit[key]` object with a `path` and `Component` property. See [Custom Tabs](#custom-tabs) for more information.
### Custom Tabs
You can easily swap individual collection or global edit views. To do this, pass an _object_ to the `admin.components.views.Edit` property of the config. Payload renders the following views by default, all of which can be overridden:
// You can also define `components.views.Edit` as a component, this will override _all_ nested views
Default: MyCustomDefaultTab,
Versions: MyCustomVersionsTab,
Version: MyCustomVersionTab,
API: MyCustomAPITab,
LivePreview: MyCustomLivePreviewTab,
},
},
},
},
}
```
To add a _new_ tab to the `Edit` view, simply add another key to `components.views.Edit[key]` with at least a `path` and `Component` property. For example:
| **`user`** | The currently logged in user. Will be `null` if no user is logged in. |
| **`canAccessAdmin`** \* | If the currently logged in user is allowed to access the [Admin Panel](./overview) or not. |
<Banner type="warning">
<strong>Note:</strong>
<br />
It's up to you to secure your custom views. If your view requires a user to be logged in or to
have certain access rights, you should handle that within your view component yourself.
</Banner>
### Examples
You can find examples of custom views in the [Payload source code `/test/admin/components/views` folder](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/tree/main/test/admin/components/views). There, you'll find two custom views:
1. A custom view that uses the `DefaultTemplate`, which is the built-in Payload template that displays the sidebar and "eyebrow nav"
1. A custom view that uses the `MinimalTemplate` - which is just a centered template used for things like logging in or out
To see how to pass in your custom views to create custom views of your own, take a look at the `admin.components.views` property of the [Payload test admin config](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/blob/main/test/admin/config.ts).
The Vite bundler is currently in beta. If you would like to help us test this package, we'd love to hear from you if you find any [bugs or issues](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/)!
</Banner>
Payload has a Vite bundler that you can install and bundle the Admin Panel with. This is an alternative to the [Webpack](/docs/admin/webpack) bundler and might give some performance boosts to your development workflow.
To use Vite as your bundler, first you need to install the package:
```bash
yarn add @payloadcms/bundler-vite
```
Then you will need to add the [bundler](/docs/admin/bundlers) to your Payload config:
```ts
import { buildConfig } from '@payloadcms/config'
import { viteBundler } from '@payloadcms/bundler-vite'
export default buildConfig({
collections: [],
admin: {
bundler: viteBundler(),
}
})

Vite works fundamentally differently than Webpack. In development mode, it will first pre-bundle any of your dependencies that are CommonJS-only, and then it'll leverage ESM directly in your browser for a better HMR experience.
It then uses Rollup to create production builds of your admin UI. With Vite, you should see a decent performance boost—especially after your first cold start. However, that first cold start might take a few more seconds.
<Banner type="warning">
In most cases, Vite should work out of the box. But existing Payload plugins may need to make compatibility changes to support Vite.
</Banner>
This is because Vite aliases work fundamentally differently than Webpack aliases, and Payload relies on aliasing server-only code out of the Payload config to ensure that the bundled admin JS works within your browser.
Here are the main differences between how Vite aliases work and how Webpack aliases work.
**Vite aliases do not work with absolute paths.**
In Vite, alias keys must <strong>exactly match</strong> a import paths. If you have 2 files that import the same server-only module, but have different import paths, you would need to add 2 aliases to support both import paths.
```ts
// File A
import serverOnlyModule from '../server-only-module'
// File B
import serverOnlyModule from '../../server-only-module'
// payload.config.ts
// You would need to add 2 aliases to support both import paths
**Vite aliases do not get applied to pre-bundled dependencies.**
This especially affects plugins, as plugins will be pre-bundled by Vite using `esbuild`. To get around this and support Vite, plugin authors need to configure an alias to their plugin at the top level, so that the alias will work accordingly.
Here's an example. Say your plugin is called `payload-plugin-cool`. It's imported as follows:
```ts
import { myCoolPlugin } from 'payload-plugin-cool'
```
That plugin should create an alias to support Vite as follows:
This will effectively alias the entire plugin and work with Vite. If the plugin requires admin-specific code, then the `./my-admin-plugin.js` alias target file should reflect any changes necessary to the admin UI that the main server-side plugin performs.
### Extending the Vite config
The Payload config supports a new property for plugins to be able to extend the Vite config specifically. That property exists on the main Payload config under `admin.vite`. You can check out the [Vite docs](https://vitejs.dev/config/shared-options.html) for more information on what you can do with the Vite config.
It's a function that takes a Vite config, and returns an updated Vite config. Here's an example:
Learn more about [aliasing server-only modules](https://payloadcms.com/docs/admin/excluding-server-code#aliasing-server-only-modules).
Even though there is a new property for Vite configs specifically, we have implemented some "compatibility" between Webpack and Vite out-of-the-box.
If your config specifies Webpack aliases, we attempt to leverage them automatically within the Vite config. They are merged into the Vite alias configuration seamlessly and may work out-of-the-box.
desc: The Payload admin panel uses Webpack 5 and supports many common functionalities such as SCSS and Typescript out of the box to give you more freedom.
Payload has a Webpack (v5) bundler that you can build the Admin panel with. For now, we recommended using it because it is stable. If you are feeling a bit more adventurous you can give the [Vite](/docs/admin/vite) bundler a shot.
Out of the box, the Webpack bundler supports common functionalities such as SCSS and Typescript, but there are many cases where you may need to add support for additional functionalities.
#### Installation
```bash
yarn add @payloadcms/bundler-webpack
```
#### Import the bundler
```ts
// payload.config.ts
import { buildConfig } from 'payload/config'
import { webpackBundler } from '@payloadcms/bundler-webpack'
export default buildConfig({
// highlight-start
admin: {
bundler: webpackBundler()
},
// highlight-end
})
```
### Extending Webpack
If you need to extend the Webpack config, you can do so by passing a function to the `admin.webpack` property on your Payload config.
The function will receive the Webpack config as an argument and should return the modified config.
```ts
// payload.config.ts
import { buildConfig } from 'payload/config'
import { webpackBundler } from '@payloadcms/bundler-webpack'
export default buildConfig({
admin: {
bundler: webpackBundler()
// highlight-start
webpack: (config) => {
// full control of the Webpack config
return config
},
// highlight-end
},
})
```

## Token-based auth
Successfully logging in returns a `JWT` (JSON web token) which is how a user will identify themselves to Payload.

You can specify what data gets encoded to the JWT token by setting `saveToJWT` to true in your auth collection fields. If you wish to use a different key other than the field `name`, you can provide it to `saveToJWT` as a string. It is also possible to use `saveToJWT` on fields that are nested in inside groups and tabs. If a group has a `saveToJWT` set it will include the object with all sub-fields in the token. You can set `saveToJWT: false` for any fields you wish to omit. If a field inside a group has `saveToJWT` set, but the group does not, the field will be included at the top level of the token.

Payload `login`, `logout`, and `refresh` operations make use of HTTP-only cookies for authentication purposes.

They are totally protected from common XSS attacks and cannot be read at all via JavaScript in the browser.
##### Automatic browser inclusion
#### Automatic browser inclusion

Because Payload uses your existing Express server, you are free to add whatever logic you need to your app through endpoints of your own. However, Payload does not add its middleware to your Express app itself—instead, it scopes all of its middleware to Payload-specific routers.
This approach has a ton of benefits - it's great for isolation of concerns and limiting scope, but it also means that your additional routes won't have access to Payload's user authentication.

There are 2 exposed properties. Each property is an array of middleware functions.
- `preMiddleware` - runs before any of the Payload middleware
- `postMiddleware` - runs after all of the Payload middleware
`express.json()` is used to parse JSON body content into JavaScript objects accessible on the Express `req`. Payload allows you to customize all of the `json` method's options. Common examples of customization use-cases are increasing the max allowed JSON body size which defaults to `2MB`.
**Example payload.config.js for how to increase the max JSON size allowed to be sent to Payload endpoints:**
```js
{
express: {
json: {
limit: '4mb',
}
}
}
```
You can find a list of all available options that are able to be passed to `express.json()` [here](https://expressjs.com/en/api.html).
### Compression
Payload uses the `compression` package to optimize transfer size for all of the routes it opens, and you can pass customization options through the Payload config.
To customize compression options, pass an object to the Payload config's `express` property.
**Example payload.config.js:**
```js
{
express: {
compression: {
// settings go here
}
}
}
```
Typically, the default options for this package are suitable. However, for a list of all available customization options, [click here](http://expressjs.com/en/resources/middleware/compression.html).
Global configs are in many ways similar to [Collections](/docs/configuration/collections). The big difference is that
Collections will potentially contain _many_ documents, while a Global is a "one-off". Globals are perfect for things
like header nav, site-wide banner alerts, app-wide localized strings, and other "global" data that your site or app
might rely on.

Not only does Payload support managing localized content, it also has internationalization support so that admin users can work in their preferred language. Payload's i18n support is built on top of [i18next](https://www.i18next.com). It comes included by default and can be extended in your config.
Not only does Payload support managing localized content, it also has internationalization support so that users in the [Admin Panel](../admin/overview) can work in their preferred language. Payload's i18n comes by default without any additional setup, and you can extend the default settings to customize the language settings to your needs.
While Payload's built-in features come translated, you may want to also translate parts of your project's configuration too. This is possible in places like collections and globals labels and groups, field labels, descriptions and input placeholder text. The admin UI will display all the correct translations you provide based on the user's language.
### Configuration Options
In your Payload config, you can add translations and customize the settings in `i18n`. Payload will use your custom options and merge it with the default, allowing you to override the settings Payload provides.
**Example Payload config extending i18n:**
```ts
import { buildConfig } from 'payload/config'
export default buildConfig({
//...
i18n: {
fallbackLng: 'en', // default
debug: false, // default
resources: {
en: {
custom: {
// namespace can be anything you want
key1: 'Translation with {{variable}}', // translation
},
// override existing translation keys
general: {
dashboard: 'Home',
},
},
},
},
//...
})

## Types for custom translations
In order to use custom translations in your project, you need to provide the types for the translations. Here is an example of how you can define the types for the custom translations in a custom react component:
```ts
'use client'
import type { NestedKeysStripped } from '@payloadcms/translations'
import type React from 'react'
import { useTranslation } from '@payloadcms/ui/providers/Translation'
const customTranslations = {
en: {
general: {
test: 'Custom Translation',
},
},
}
type CustomTranslationObject = typeof customTranslations.en
type CustomTranslationKeys = NestedKeysStripped<CustomTranslationObject>
export const MyComponent: React.FC = () => {
const { i18n, t } = useTranslation<CustomTranslationObject, CustomTranslationKeys>() // These generics merge your custom translations with the default client translations
return t('general:test')
}
```
Additionally, payload exposes the `t` function in various places, for example in labels. Here is how you would type those:
```ts
import type {
DefaultTranslationKeys,
NestedKeysStripped,
TFunction,
} from '@payloadcms/translations'
import type { Field } from 'payload/types'
const customTranslations = {
en: {
general: {

### Global Options

When you initialize the `mongooseAdapter`, you can specify settings here for your globals in a similar manner to how you can for collections above. Right now, the only property available is `schemaOptions` but more may be added in the future.
### Preserving externally managed data
You can use Payload in conjunction with an existing MongoDB database, where you might have some fields "tracked" in Payload via corresponding field configs, and other fields completely unknown to Payload.
If you have external field data in existing MongoDB collections which you'd like to use in combination with Payload, and you don't want to lose those external fields, you can configure Payload to "preserve" that data while it makes updates to your existing documents.
To do this, the first step is to configure Mongoose's `strict` property, which tells Mongoose to write all data that it receives (and not disregard any data that it does not know about).
The second step is to disable Payload's automatic JSON parsing of documents it receives from MongoDB.

## Collection Operations
To configure Collection database operations in your Payload application, your Collection config has methods that can override default database operations for that Collection.
The override methods receive arguments useful for augmenting operations such as Field data, the collection slug, and the req.
Here is an example:

Since Payload hooks can be async and be written to not await the result, it is possible to have an incorrect success response returned on a request that is rolled back. If you have a hook where you do not `await` the result, then you should **not** pass the `req.transactionID`.
When writing your own scripts or custom endpoints, you may wish to have direct control over transactions. This is useful for interacting with your database in something like a background job, outside the normal request-response flow.
When writing your own scripts or custom endpoints, you may wish to have direct control over transactions. This is useful for interacting with your database outside of Payload's local API.
The following functions can be used for managing transactions:
`payload.db.beginTransaction` - Starts a new session and returns a transaction ID for use in other Payload Local API calls. Note that if your database does not support transactions, this will return `null`.\
`payload.db.commitTransaction` - Takes the identifier for the transaction, finalizes any changes.\
`payload.db.beginTransaction` - Starts a new session and returns a transaction ID for use in other Payload Local API calls.
`payload.db.commitTransaction` - Takes the identifier for the transaction, finalizes any changes.
`payload.db.rollbackTransaction` - Takes the identifier for the transaction, discards any changes.
You can then use the transaction ID with Payload's local API by passing it inside the `PayloadRequest` object.
Here is an example for a "background job" function, which utilizes the direct transaction API to make sure it either succeeds completely or gets rolled back in case of an error.
desc: Payload uses NodeMailer to allow you to send emails smoothly from your app. Set up email functions such as password resets, order confirmations and more.
Payload comes ready to send your application's email. Whether you simply need built-in password reset
email to work or you want customers to get an order confirmation email, you're almost there. Payload makes use of
[NodeMailer](https://nodemailer.com) for email and won't get in your way for those already familiar.
Payload has a few email adapters that can be imported to enable email functionality. The [@payloadcms/email-nodemailer](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@payloadcms/email-nodemailer) package will be the package most will want to install. This package provides an easy way to use [Nodemailer](https://nodemailer.com) for email and won't get in your way for those already familiar.
For email to send from your Payload server, some configuration is required. The settings you provide will be set
in the `email` property object of your payload init call. Payload will make use of the transport that you have configured for it for things like reset password or verifying new user accounts and email send methods are available to you as well on your payload instance.
The email adapter should be passed into the `email` property of the Payload config. This will allow Payload to send emails for things like password resets, new user verification, and any other email sending needs you may have.
### Configuration
## Configuration
**Three ways to set it up**
### Default Configuration
1. **Default**: When email is not needed, a mock email handler will be created and used when nothing is provided. This is ideal for development environments and can be changed later when ready to [go to production](/docs/production/deployment).
1. **Recommended**: Set the `transportOptions` and Payload will do the set up for you.
1. **Advanced**: The `transport` object can be assigned a nodemailer transport object set up in your server scripts and given for Payload to use.
When email is not needed or desired, Payload will log a warning on startup notifying that email is not configured. A warning message will also be logged on any attempt to send an email.
The following options are configurable in the `email` property object as part of the options object when calling payload.init().
| **`fromName`** \* | The name part of the From field that will be seen on the delivered email |
| **`fromAddress`** \* | The email address part of the From field that will be used when delivering email |
| **`transport`** | The NodeMailer transport object for when you want to do it yourself, not needed when transportOptions is set |
| **`transportOptions`** | An object that configures the transporter that Payload will create. For all the available options see the [NodeMailer documentation](https://nodemailer.com) or see the examples below |
| **`logMockCredentials`** | If set to true and no transport/transportOptions, ethereal credentials will be logged to console on startup |
An email adapter will require at least the following fields:
_\* An asterisk denotes that a property is required._
| **`defaultFromName`** \* | The name part of the From field that will be seen on the delivered email |
| **`defaultFromAddress`** \* | The email address part of the From field that will be used when delivering email |
### Use SMTP
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) options can be passed in using the `transportOptions` object on the `email` options. See the [NodeMailer SMTP documentation](https://nodemailer.com/smtp/) for more information, including details on when `secure` should and should not be set to `true`.
| Nodemailer | [@payloadcms/email-nodemailer](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@payloadcms/email-nodemailer) | Use any [Nodemailer transport](https://nodemailer.com/transports), including SMTP, Resend, SendGrid, and more. This was provided by default in Payload 2.x. This is the easiest migration path. |
| Resend | [@payloadcms/email-resend](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@payloadcms/email-resend) | Resend email via their REST API. This is preferred for serverless platforms such as Vercel because it is much more lightweight than the nodemailer adapter. |
| **`transport`** | The Nodemailer transport object for when you want to do it yourself, not needed when transportOptions is set |
| **`transportOptions`** | An object that configures the transporter that Payload will create. For all the available options see the [Nodemailer documentation](https://nodemailer.com) or see the examples below |

**Example email options using SMTP:**

import { nodemailerAdapter } from '@payloadcms/email-nodemailer'
export default buildConfig({
email: nodemailerAdapter({
defaultFromAddress: 'info@payloadcms.com',
defaultFromName: 'Payload',
// Nodemailer transportOptions
transportOptions: {
host: process.env.SMTP_HOST,
port: 587,
auth: {
user: process.env.SMTP_USER,
pass: process.env.SMTP_PASS,
},
port: Number(process.env.SMTP_HOST),
secure: Number(process.env.SMTP_PORT) === 465, // true for port 465, false (the default) for 587 and others
requireTLS: true,
},

fromAddress: 'hello@example.com',

Many third party mail providers are available and offer benefits beyond basic SMTP. As an example, your payload init could look like this if you wanted to use SendGrid.com, though the same approach would work for any other [NodeMailer transports](https://nodemailer.com/transports/) shown here or provided by another third party.
**Example email options using nodemailer.createTransport:**
```ts
import payload from 'payload'
import nodemailerSendgrid from 'nodemailer-sendgrid'
To take full control of the mail transport you may wish to use `nodemailer.createTransport()` on your server and provide it to Payload init.
```ts
import payload from 'payload'
import { buildConfig } from 'payload/config'
import { nodemailerAdapter } from '@payloadcms/email-nodemailer'
import nodemailer from 'nodemailer'
const payload = require('payload')
const nodemailer = require('nodemailer')
const transport = await nodemailer.createTransport({
host: process.env.SMTP_HOST,
port: 587,
auth: {
user: process.env.SMTP_USER,
pass: process.env.SMTP_PASS,
},
})
payload.init({
email: {
fromName: 'Admin',
fromAddress: 'admin@example.com',
transport,
},
// ...
export default buildConfig({
email: nodemailerAdapter({
defaultFromAddress: 'info@payloadcms.com',
defaultFromName: 'Payload',
// Any Nodemailer transport can be used
transport: nodemailer.createTransport({
host: process.env.SMTP_HOST,
port: 587,
auth: {
user: process.env.SMTP_USER,
pass: process.env.SMTP_PASS,
},
}),
}),
})
```
### Sending Mail
**Custom Transport:**
With a working transport you can call it anywhere you have access to payload by calling `payload.sendEmail(message)`. The `message` will contain the `to`, `subject` and `email` or `text` for the email being sent. To see all available message configuration options see [NodeMailer](https://nodemailer.com/message).
You also have the ability to bring your own nodemailer transport. This is an example of using the SendGrid nodemailer transport.
### Mock transport
By default, Payload uses a mock implementation that only sends mail to the [ethereal](https://ethereal.email) capture service that will never reach a user's inbox. While in development you may wish to make use of the captured messages which is why the payload output during server output helpfully logs this out on the server console.
To see ethereal credentials, add `logMockCredentials: true` to the email options. This will cause them to be logged to console on startup.
```ts
payload.init({
email: {
fromName: 'Admin',
fromAddress: 'admin@example.com',
logMockCredentials: true, // Optional
},
// ...
import { buildConfig } from 'payload/config'
import { nodemailerAdapter } from '@payloadcms/email-nodemailer'
import nodemailerSendgrid from 'nodemailer-sendgrid'
export default buildConfig({
email: nodemailerAdapter({
defaultFromAddress: 'info@payloadcms.com',
defaultFromName: 'Payload',
transportOptions: nodemailerSendgrid({
apiKey: process.env.SENDGRID_API_KEY,
}),
}),
})
```
**Console output when starting payload with a mock email instance and logMockCredentials: true**
During development, if you pass nothing to `nodemailerAdapter`, it will use the [ethereal.email](https://ethereal.email) service.
```
[06:37:21] INFO (payload): Starting Payload...
[06:37:22] INFO (payload): Payload Demo Initialized
[06:37:22] INFO (payload): listening on 3000...

[06:37:23] INFO (payload): E-mail configured with mock configuration
[06:37:23] INFO (payload): Log into mock email provider at https://ethereal.email

[06:37:23] INFO (payload): Mock email account password: VNdGcvDZeyEhtuPBqf
This will log the ethereal.email details to console on startup.
```ts
import { nodemailerAdapter } from '@payloadcms/email-nodemailer'
export default buildConfig({
email: nodemailerAdapter(),
})
```
The mock email handler is used when payload is started with neither `transport` or `transportOptions` to know how to deliver email.
## Resend Configuration
<Banner type="warning">
The randomly generated email account username and password will be different each time the Payload
server starts.
</Banner>
The Resend adapter requires an API key to be passed in the options. This can be found in the Resend dashboard. This is the preferred package if you are deploying on Vercel because this is much more lightweight than the Nodemailer adapter.
### Using multiple mail providers
| Option | Description |
| ------ | ----------------------------------- |
| apiKey | The API key for the Resend service. |
```ts
import { buildConfig } from 'payload/config'
import { resendAdapter } from '@payloadcms/email-resend'
export default buildConfig({
email: resendAdapter({
defaultFromAddress: 'dev@payloadcms.com',
defaultFromName: 'Payload CMS',
apiKey: process.env.RESEND_API_KEY || '',
}),
})
```
## Sending Mail
With a working transport you can call it anywhere you have access to payload by calling `payload.sendEmail(message)`. The `message` will contain the `to`, `subject` and `html` or `text` for the email being sent. Other options are also available and can be seen in the sendEmail args. Support for these will depend on the adapter being used.
```ts
// Example of sending an email
const email = await payload.sendEmail({
to: 'test@example.com',
subject: 'This is a test email',
text: 'This is my message body',
})
```
## Using multiple mail providers
Payload supports the use of a single transporter of email, but there is nothing stopping you from having more. Consider a use case where sending bulk email is handled differently than transactional email and could be done using a [hook](/docs/hooks/overview).
