**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#6694
Previously we were only creating sharp files for files that have file
adjustments but instead a sharp file should be created for animated
images even if there are no file adjustments - i.e
`const fileHasAdjustments = fileSupportsResize && Boolean(resizeOptions
|| formatOptions || imageSizes || trimOptions || file.tempFilePath)`

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

},
// current
overrides: {
fields: ({ defaultFields }) => {
return [
...defaultFields,

},
]
},
},
```

- [x] Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing
functionality to not work as expected)
**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
[here](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/blob/main/packages/payload/src/auth/sendVerificationEmail.ts#L69).

Fixes an issue with creating versions when using custom DB names,
`uuid`, and drafts.
---------
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
* fix: handles filter options in form state merge
* chore: fix and reintegrate fields-relationship e2e tests
* chore: update withMergedProps function for e2e tests
* chore: improve flakiness with access control test suite
* fix issue with redirecting from a drawer
* chore: watches for created id in drawers

#### 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.

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`.

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_.

Payload utilizes a few Express-specific middleware packages within its own routers. You can customize how they work by passing in configuration options to the main Payload config's `express` property.
### Custom Middleware
## Custom Middleware
Payload allows you to pass in custom Express middleware to be used on all of the routes it opens. This is useful for adding logging or any other custom functionality to your endpoints.
`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`.
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

## 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: {
test: 'Custom Translation',

const field: Field = {
name: 'myField',

{ t }: { t: TFunction<CustomTranslationKeys | DefaultTranslationKeys> }, // The generic passed to TFunction does not automatically merge the custom translations with the default translations. We need to merge them ourselves here

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.

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 |

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.
```

[06:37:23] 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 |
| ------ | ----------------------------------- |

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).

Payload JSON fields fully support the [JSON schema](https://json-schema.org/) standard. By providing a schema in your field config, the editor will be guided in the admin UI, getting typeahead for properties and their formats automatically. When the document is saved, the default validation will prevent saving any invalid data in the field according to the schema in your config.
If you only provide a URL to a schema, Payload will fetch the desired schema if it is publicly available. If not, it is recommended to add the schema directly to your config or import it from another file so that it can be implemented consistently in your project.

### Field-level hooks
## Field-level hooks
One of the most powerful parts about Payload is its ability for you to define field-level hooks that can control the logic of your fields to a fine-grained level. for more information about how to define field hooks, [click here](/docs/hooks/overview#field-hooks).
### Field-level access control
## Field-level access control
In addition to being able to define access control on a document-level, you can define extremely granular permissions on a field by field level. For more information about field-level access control, [click here](/docs/access-control/overview#fields).
### Field names
## Field names
Some fields use their `name` property as a unique identifier to store and retrieve from the database. `__v`, `salt`, and `hash` are all reserved field names which are sanitized from Payload's config and cannot be used.
### Validation
## Validation
Field validation is enforced automatically based on the field type and other properties such as `required` or `min` and `max` value constraints on certain field types. This default behavior can be replaced by providing your own validate function for any field. It will be used on both the frontend and the backend, so it should not rely on any Node-specific packages. The validation function can be either synchronous or asynchronous and expects to return either `true` or a string error message to display in both API responses and within the Admin panel.

### Admin config
## Admin config
In addition to each field's base configuration, you can define specific traits and properties for fields that only have effect on how they are rendered in the Admin panel. The following properties are available for all fields within the `admin` property:
| `condition` | You can programmatically show / hide fields based on what other fields are doing. [Click here](#conditional-logic) for more info. |
| `components` | All field components can be completely and easily swapped out for custom components that you define. [Click here](#custom-components) for more info. |
| `description` | Helper text to display with the field to provide more information for the editor user. [Click here](#description) for more info. |
| `position` | Specify if the field should be rendered in the sidebar by defining `position: 'sidebar'`. |
| `width` | Restrict the width of a field. you can pass any string-based value here, be it pixels, percentages, etc. This property is especially useful when fields are nested within a `Row` type where they can be organized horizontally. |
| `style` | Attach raw CSS style properties to the root DOM element of a field. |
| `className` | Attach a CSS class name to the root DOM element of a field. |
| `readOnly` | Setting a field to `readOnly` has no effect on the API whatsoever but disables the admin component's editability to prevent editors from modifying the field's value. |
| `disabled` | If a field is `disabled`, it is completely omitted from the Admin panel. |
| `disableBulkEdit` | Set `disableBulkEdit` to `true` to prevent fields from appearing in the select options when making edits for multiple documents. |
| `hidden` | Setting a field's `hidden` property on its `admin` config will transform it into a `hidden` input type. Its value will still submit with the Admin panel's requests, but the field itself will not be visible to editors. |

Here is a list of all properties available to pass through `payload.init`:
##### secret
#### secret
**Required**. This is a secure string that will be used to authenticate with Payload. It can be random but should be at least 14 characters and be very difficult to guess.
Payload uses this secret key to generate secure user tokens (JWT). Behind the scenes, we do not use your secret key to encrypt directly - instead, we first take the secret key and create an encrypted string using the SHA-256 hash function. Then, we reduce the encrypted string to its first 32 characters. This final value is what Payload uses for encryption.
##### config
#### config
Allows you to pass your config directly to the onInit function. The config passed here should match the payload.config file.
##### disableOnInit
#### disableOnInit

##### express

##### local
#### local
A boolean that when set to `true` tells Payload to start in local-only mode which will bypass setting up API routes. When set to `true`, `express` is not required. This is useful when running scripts that need to use Payload's [local-api](/docs/local-api/overview).
##### loggerDestination
#### loggerDestination
Specify destination stream for the built-in Pino logger that Payload uses for internal logging. See [Pino Docs](https://getpino.io/#/docs/api?id=pino-destination) for more info on what is available.
##### loggerOptions
#### loggerOptions
Specify options for the built-in Pino logger that Payload uses for internal logging. See [Pino Docs](https://getpino.io/#/docs/api?id=options) for more info on what is available.

When working with GraphQL it is useful to have the schema for development of other projects that need to call on your GraphQL endpoint.

### beforeDuplicate
The `beforeDuplicate` field hook is called on each locale (when using localization), when duplicating a document. It may be used when documents having the
exact same properties may cause issue. This gives you a way to avoid duplicate names on `unique`, `required` fields or when external systems expect non-repeating values on documents.
This hook gets called after `beforeChange` hooks are called and before the document is saved to the database.
By Default, unique and required text fields Payload will append "- Copy" to the original document value. The default is not added if your field has its own, you must return non-unique values from your beforeDuplicate hook to avoid errors or enable the `disableDuplicate` option on the collection.
Here is an example of a number field with a hook that increments the number to avoid unique constraint errors when duplicating a document:
```ts
import { Field } from 'payload/types'
const numberField: Field = {
name: 'number',
type: 'number',
hooks: {
// increment existing value by 1
beforeDuplicate: [({ value }) => {
return (value ?? 0) + 1
}],
}
}
```
## TypeScript
Payload exports a type for field hooks which can be accessed and used as follows:
There are many more use cases for Hooks and the sky is the limit.
#### Async vs. synchronous
## Async vs. synchronous
All hooks can be written as either synchronous or asynchronous functions. If the Hook should modify data before a document is updated or created, and it relies on asynchronous actions such as fetching data from a third party, it might make sense to define your Hook as an asynchronous function, so you can be sure that your Hook completes before the operation's lifecycle continues. Async hooks are run in series - so if you have two async hooks defined, the second hook will wait for the first to complete before it starts.
If your Hook simply performs a side-effect, such as updating a CRM, it might be okay to define it synchronously, so the Payload operation does not have to wait for your hook to complete.

Payload Hooks are only triggered on the server. You can safely [remove your hooks](/docs/admin/webpack#aliasing-server-only-modules) from your Admin panel's client-side code by customizing the Webpack config, which not only keeps your Admin bundles' filesize small but also ensures that any server-side only code does not cause problems within browser environments.
desc: Payload + Vercel Content Link allows yours editors to navigate directly from the content rendered on your front-end to the fields in Payload that control it.
[Vercel Content Link](https://vercel.com/docs/workflow-collaboration/edit-mode#content-link) will allow your editors to navigate directly from the content rendered on your front-end to the fields in Payload that control it. This requires no changes to your front-end code and very few changes to your Payload config.
Vercel Content Link is an enterprise-only feature and only available for deployments hosted on
Vercel. If you are an existing enterprise customer, [contact our sales
team](https://payloadcms.com/for-enterprise) for help with your integration.

## How it works
To power Vercel Content Link, Payload embeds Content Source Maps into its API responses. Content Source Maps are invisible, encoded JSON values that include a link back to the field in the CMS that generated the content. When rendered on the page, Vercel detects and decodes these values to display the Content Link interface.
For full details on how the encoding and decoding algorithm works, check out [`@vercel/stega`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@vercel/stega).
## Getting Started
Setting up Payload with Vercel Content Link is easy. First, install the `@payloadcms/plugin-csm` plugin into your project. This plugin requires an API key to install, [contact our sales team](https://payloadcms.com/for-enterprise) if you don't already have one.
```bash
npm i @payloadcms/plugin-csm
```
Then in the `plugins` array of your Payload config, call the plugin and enable any collections that require Content Source Maps.
```ts
import { buildConfig } from "payload/config"
import contentSourceMaps from "@payloadcms/plugin-csm"
const config = buildConfig({
collections: [
{
slug: "pages",
fields: [
{
name: 'slug',
type: 'text',
},
{
name: 'title,'
type: 'text',
},
],
},
],
plugins: [
contentSourceMaps({
collections: ["pages"],
}),
],
})
export default config
```
Now in your Next.js app, include the `?encodeSourceMaps=true` parameter in any of your API requests. For performance reasons, this should only be done when in draft mode or on preview deployments.
```ts
if (isDraftMode || process.env.VERCEL_ENV === 'preview') {
And that's it! You are now ready to enter Edit Mode and begin visually editing your content.
#### Edit Mode
To see Content Link on your site, you first need to visit any preview deployment on Vercel and login using the Vercel Toolbar. When Content Source Maps are detected on the page, a pencil icon will appear in the toolbar. Clicking this icon will enable Edit Mode, highlighting all editable fields on the page in blue.

## Troubleshooting
### Date Fields
The plugin does not encode `date` fields by default, but for some cases like text that uses negative CSS letter-spacing, it may be necessary to split the encoded data out from the rendered text. This way you can safely use the cleaned data as expected.
All `blocks` fields by definition do not have plain text strings to encode. For this reason, blocks are given an additional `encodedSourceMap` key, which you can use to enable Content Link on entire sections of your site. You can then specify the editing container by adding the `data-vercel-edit-target` HTML attribute to any top-level element of your block.

### Troubleshooting
##### Dates
The plugin does not encode `date` fields by default, but for some cases like text that uses negative CSS letter-spacing, it may be necessary to split the encoded data out from the rendered text. This way you can safely use the cleaned data as expected.
All `blocks` fields by definition do not have plain text strings to encode.

You can then specify the editing container by adding the `data-vercel-edit-target` HTML attribute to any top-level element of your block.
Lexical saves data in JSON, but can also generate its HTML representation via two main methods:
1. **Outputting HTML from the Collection:** Create a new field in your collection to convert saved JSON content to HTML. Payload generates and outputs the HTML for use in your frontend.
2. **Generating HTML on any server** Convert JSON to HTML on-demand on the server.
The editor comes with built-in HTML serializers, simplifying the process of converting JSON to HTML.
### Outputting HTML from the Collection
To add HTML generation directly within the collection, follow the example below:
```ts
import type { CollectionConfig } from 'payload/types'
import { HTMLConverterFeature, lexicalEditor, lexicalHTML } from '@payloadcms/richtext-lexical'
const Pages: CollectionConfig = {
slug: 'pages',
fields: [
{
name: 'nameOfYourRichTextField',
type: 'richText',
editor: lexicalEditor({
features: ({ defaultFeatures }) => [
...defaultFeatures,
// The HTMLConverter Feature is the feature which manages the HTML serializers.
// If you do not pass any arguments to it, it will use the default serializers.
The `lexicalHTML()` function creates a new field that automatically converts the referenced lexical richText field into HTML through an afterRead hook.
### Generating HTML anywhere on the server:
If you wish to convert JSON to HTML ad-hoc, use this code snippet:
```ts
import type { SerializedEditorState } from 'lexical'
This method employs `convertLexicalToHTML` from `@payloadcms/richtext-lexical`, which converts the serialized editor state into HTML.
Because every `Feature` is able to provide html converters, and because the `htmlFeature` can modify those or provide their own, we need to consolidate them with the default html Converters using the `consolidateHTMLConverters` function.
### CSS
Payload's lexical HTML converter does not generate CSS for you, but it does add classes to the generated HTML. You can use these classes to style the HTML in your frontend.
Here is some "base" CSS you can use to ensure that nested lists render correctly:
```css
/* Base CSS for Lexical HTML */
.nestedListItem, .list-check {
list-style-type: none;
}
```
### Creating your own HTML Converter
HTML Converters are typed as `HTMLConverter`, which contains the node type it should handle, and a function that accepts the serialized node from the lexical editor, and outputs the HTML string. Here's the HTML Converter of the Upload node as an example:
```ts
import type { HTMLConverter } from '@payloadcms/richtext-lexical'
nodeTypes: [UploadNode.getType()], // This is the type of the lexical node that this converter can handle. Instead of hardcoding 'upload' we can get the node type directly from the UploadNode, since it's static.
}
```
As you can see, we have access to all the information saved in the node (for the Upload node, this is `value`and `relationTo`) and we can use that to generate the HTML.
The `convertLexicalToHTML` is part of `@payloadcms/richtext-lexical` automatically handles traversing the editor state and calling the correct converter for each node.
### Embedding the HTML Converter in your Feature
You can embed your HTML Converter directly within your custom `ServerFeature`, allowing it to be handled automatically by the `consolidateHTMLConverters` function. Here is an example:
```ts
import { createNode } from '@payloadcms/richtext-lexical'
import type { FeatureProviderProviderServer } from '@payloadcms/richtext-lexical'
As you can see, you need to provide an editor config in order to create a headless editor. This is because the editor config is used to determine which nodes & features are enabled, and which converters are used.
To get the editor config, simply import the default editor config and adjust it - just like you did inside of the `editor: lexicalEditor({})` property:
```ts
import { defaultEditorConfig, defaultEditorFeatures } from '@payloadcms/richtext-lexical' // <= make sure this package is installed
const yourEditorConfig = defaultEditorConfig
// If you made changes to the features of the field's editor config, you should also make those changes here:
yourEditorConfig.features = [
...defaultEditorFeatures,
// Add your custom features here
]
```
### Getting the editor config from an existing field
If you have access to the sanitized collection config, you can get access to the lexical sanitized editor config & features, as every lexical richText field returns it. Here is an example how you can get it from another field's afterRead hook:
```ts
import type { CollectionConfig, RichTextField } from 'payload/types'
import { createHeadlessEditor } from '@lexical/headless'
import type { LexicalRichTextAdapter, SanitizedServerEditorConfig } from '@payloadcms/richtext-lexical'
The `.setEditorState()` function immediately updates your editor state. Thus, there's no need for the `discrete: true` flag when reading the state afterward.
## Lexical => Plain Text
Export content from the Lexical editor into plain text using these steps:
1. Import your current editor state into the headless editor.
2. Convert and fetch the resulting plain text string.
Here's the code for it:
```ts
import type { SerializedEditorState } from 'lexical'
import { $getRoot } from 'lexical'
const yourEditorState: SerializedEditorState // <= your current editor state here
// Import editor state into your headless editor
try {
headlessEditor.setEditorState(headlessEditor.parseEditorState(yourEditorState)) // This should commit the editor state immediately
} catch (e) {
logger.error({ err: e }, 'ERROR parsing editor state')
and done! Now, everytime this lexical editor is initialized, it converts the slate date to lexical on-the-fly. If the data is already in lexical format, it will just pass it through.
This is by far the easiest way to migrate from Slate to Lexical, although it does come with a few caveats:
- There is a performance hit when initializing the lexical editor
- The editor will still output the Slate data in the output JSON, as the on-the-fly converter only runs for the admin panel
The easy way to solve this: Just save the document! This overrides the slate data with the lexical data, and the next time the document is loaded, the lexical data will be used. This solves both the performance and the output issue for that specific document.
### Migration via migration script
The method described above does not solve the issue for all documents, though. If you want to convert all your documents to lexical, you can use a migration script. Here's a simple example:
```ts
import type { Payload } from 'payload'
import type { YourDocumentType } from 'payload/generated-types'
import {
cloneDeep,
convertSlateToLexical,
defaultSlateConverters,
} from '@payloadcms/richtext-lexical'
import { AnotherCustomConverter } from './lexicalFeatures/converters/AnotherCustomConverter'
export async function convertAll(payload: Payload, collectionName: string, fieldName: string) {
const docs: YourDocumentType[] = await payload.db.collections[collectionName].find({}).exec() // Use MongoDB models directly to query all documents at once
if (richText && Array.isArray(richText) && !('root' in richText)) {
// It's Slate data - skip already-converted data
const converted = convertSlateToLexical({
converters: converters,
slateData: richText,
})
await payload.update({
id: doc.id,
collection: collectionName as any,
depth: 0, // performance optimization. No need to run population.
data: {
[fieldName]: converted,
},
})
}
})
// Wait for all promises in the batch to complete. Resolving batches of 20 asynchronously is faster than waiting for each doc to update individually
await Promise.all(promises)
// Update the count of processed docs
processed += batch.length
console.log(`Converted ${processed} of ${docs.length}`)
}
}
```
The `convertSlateToLexical` is the same method used in the `SlateToLexicalFeature` - it handles traversing the Slate JSON for you.
Do note that this script might require adjustment depending on your document structure, especially if you have nested richText fields or localization enabled.
### Converting custom Slate nodes
If you have custom Slate nodes, create a custom converter for them. Here's the Upload converter as an example:
```ts
import type { SerializedUploadNode } from '../uploadNode.'
import type { SlateNodeConverter } from '@payloadcms/richtext-lexical'
It's pretty simple: You get a Slate node as input, and you return the lexical node. The `nodeTypes` array is used to determine which Slate nodes this converter can handle.
When using a migration script, you can add your custom converters to the `converters` property of the `convertSlateToLexical` props, as seen in the example above
When using the `SlateToLexicalFeature`, you can add your custom converters to the `converters` property of the `SlateToLexicalFeature` props:
```ts
import type { CollectionConfig } from 'payload/types'
import {
SlateToLexicalFeature,
lexicalEditor,
defaultSlateConverters,
} from '@payloadcms/richtext-lexical'
import { YourCustomConverter } from '../converters/YourCustomConverter'
Migrating from [payload-plugin-lexical](https://github.com/AlessioGr/payload-plugin-lexical) works similar to migrating from Slate.
Instead of a `SlateToLexicalFeature` there is a `LexicalPluginToLexicalFeature` you can use. And instead of `convertSlateToLexical` you can use `convertLexicalPluginToLexical`.
One of Payload's goals is to build the best rich text editor experience that we possibly can. We want to combine the beauty and polish of the Medium editing experience with the strength and features of the Notion editor - all in one place.
Classically, we've used SlateJS to work toward this goal, but building custom elements into Slate has proven to be more difficult than we'd like, and we've been keeping our options open.
<Banner type="warning">
Payload's Lexical rich text editor is currently in beta. It's stable enough to use as you build on
Payload, so if you're up for helping us fine-tune it, you should use it. But if you're looking for
stability, use Slate instead.
</Banner>
Lexical is extremely impressive and trivializes a lot of the hard parts of building new elements into a rich text editor. It has a few distinct advantages over Slate, including the following:
1. A "/" menu, which allows editors to easily add new elements while never leaving their keyboard
1. A "hover" toolbar that pops up if you select text
1. It supports Payload blocks natively, directly within your rich text editor
1. Custom elements, called "features", are much easier to build in Lexical vs. Slate
To use the Lexical editor, first you need to install it:
```
npm install @payloadcms/richtext-lexical
```
Once you have it installed, you can pass it to your top-level Payload config as follows:
```ts
import { buildConfig } from 'payload/config'
import { lexicalEditor } from '@payloadcms/richtext-lexical'
export default buildConfig({
collections: [
// your collections here
],
// Pass the Lexical editor to the root config
editor: lexicalEditor({}),
})
```
You can also override Lexical settings on a field-by-field basis as follows:
```ts
import type { CollectionConfig } from 'payload/types'
import { lexicalEditor } from '@payloadcms/richtext-lexical'
export const Pages: CollectionConfig = {
slug: 'pages',
fields: [
{
name: 'content',
type: 'richText',
// Pass the Lexical editor here and override base settings as necessary
editor: lexicalEditor({}),
},
],
}
```
## Extending the lexical editor with Features
Lexical has been designed with extensibility in mind. Whether you're aiming to introduce new functionalities or tweak the existing ones, Lexical makes it seamless for you to bring those changes to life.
### Features: The Building Blocks
At the heart of Lexical's customization potential are "features". While Lexical ships with a set of default features we believe are essential for most use cases, the true power lies in your ability to redefine, expand, or prune these as needed.
If you remove all the default features, you're left with a blank editor. You can then add in only the features you need, or you can build your own custom features from scratch.
### Integrating New Features
To weave in your custom features, utilize the `features` prop when initializing the Lexical Editor. Here's a basic example of how this is done:
```ts
import {
BlocksFeature,
LinkFeature,
UploadFeature,
lexicalEditor,
} from '@payloadcms/richtext-lexical'
import { Banner } from '../blocks/Banner'
import { CallToAction } from '../blocks/CallToAction'
{
editor: lexicalEditor({
features: ({ defaultFeatures }) => [
...defaultFeatures,
LinkFeature({
// Example showing how to customize the built-in fields
// of the Link feature
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.',
},
},
],
}),
UploadFeature({
collections: {
uploads: {
// Example showing how to customize the built-in fields
// of the Upload feature
fields: [
{
name: 'caption',
type: 'richText',
editor: lexicalEditor(),
},
],
},
},
}),
// This is incredibly powerful. You can re-use your Payload blocks
// directly in the Lexical editor as follows:
BlocksFeature({
blocks: [Banner, CallToAction],
}),
],
})
}
```
## Features overview
Here's an overview of all the included features:
| Feature Name | Included by default | Description |
| **`BoldTextFeature`** | Yes | Handles the bold text format |
| **`ItalicTextFeature`** | Yes | Handles the italic text format |
| **`UnderlineTextFeature`** | Yes | Handles the underline text format |
| **`StrikethroughTextFeature`** | Yes | Handles the strikethrough text format |
| **`SubscriptTextFeature`** | Yes | Handles the subscript text format |
| **`SuperscriptTextFeature`** | Yes | Handles the superscript text format |
| **`InlineCodeTextFeature`** | Yes | Handles the inline-code text format |
| **`ParagraphFeature`** | Yes | Handles paragraphs. Since they are already a key feature of lexical itself, this Feature mainly handles the Slash and Add-Block menu entries for paragraphs |
| **`HeadingFeature`** | Yes | Adds Heading Nodes (by default, H1 - H6, but that can be customized) |
| **`AlignFeature`** | Yes | Allows you to align text left, centered and right |
| **`IndentFeature`** | Yes | Allows you to indent text with the tab key |
| **`LinkFeature`** | Yes | Allows you to create internal and external links |
| **`RelationshipFeature`** | Yes | Allows you to create block-level (not inline) relationships to other documents |
| **`BlockQuoteFeature`** | Yes | Allows you to create block-level quotes |
| **`UploadFeature`** | Yes | Allows you to create block-level upload nodes - this supports all kinds of uploads, not just images |
| **`HorizontalRuleFeature`** | Yes | Horizontal rules / separators. Basically displays an `<hr>` element |
| **`InlineToolbarFeature`** | Yes | The inline toolbar is the floating toolbar which appears when you select text. This toolbar only contains actions relevant for selected text |
| **`FixedToolbarFeature`** | No | This classic toolbar is pinned to the top and always visible. Both inline and fixed toolbars can be enabled at the same time. |
| **`BlocksFeature`** | No | Allows you to use Payload's [Blocks Field](/docs/fields/blocks) directly inside your editor. In the feature props, you can specify the allowed blocks - just like in the Blocks field. |
| **`TreeViewFeature`** | No | Adds a debug box under the editor, which allows you to see the current editor state live, the dom, as well as time travel. Very useful for debugging |
Notice how even the toolbars are features? That's how extensible our lexical editor is - you could theoretically create your own toolbar if you wanted to!
## Creating your own, custom Feature
Creating your own custom feature requires deep knowledge of the Lexical editor. We recommend you take a look at the [Lexical documentation](https://lexical.dev/docs/intro) first - especially the "concepts" section.
Next, take a look at the [features we've already built](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/tree/main/packages/richtext-lexical/src/field/features) - understanding how they work will help you understand how to create your own. There is no difference between the features included by default and the ones you create yourself - since those features are all isolated from the "core", you have access to the same APIs, whether the feature is part of payload or not!
## Coming Soon
Lots more documentation will be coming soon, which will show in detail how to create your own custom features within Lexical.
For now, take a look at the TypeScript interfaces and let us know if you need a hand. Much more will be coming from the Payload team on this topic soon.
