# Payload Admin Bar An admin bar for React apps using [Payload](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload). ### Installation ```bash pnpm i @payloadcms/admin-bar ``` ### Basic Usage ```jsx import { PayloadAdminBar } from '@payloadcms/admin-bar' export const App = () => { return } ``` Checks for authentication with Payload CMS by hitting the [`/me`](https://payloadcms.com/docs/authentication/operations#me) route. If authenticated, renders an admin bar with simple controls to do the following: - Navigate to the admin dashboard - Navigate to the currently logged-in user's account - Edit the current collection - Create a new collection of the same type - Logout - Indicate and exit preview mode The admin bar ships with very little style and is fully customizable. ### Dynamic props With client-side routing, we need to update the admin bar with a new collection type and document id on each route change. This will depend on your app's specific setup, but here are a some common examples: #### NextJS For NextJS apps using dynamic-routes, use `getStaticProps`: ```ts export const getStaticProps = async ({ params: { slug } }) => { const props = {} const pageReq = await fetch( `https://cms.website.com/api/pages?where[slug][equals]=${slug}&depth=1`, ) const pageData = await pageReq.json() if (pageReq.ok) { const { docs } = pageData const [doc] = docs props = { ...doc, collection: 'pages', collectionLabels: { singular: 'page', plural: 'pages', }, } } return props } ``` Now your app can forward these props onto the admin bar. Something like this: ```ts import { PayloadAdminBar } from '@payloadcms/admin-bar'; export const App = (appProps) => { const { pageProps: { collection, collectionLabels, id } } = appProps; return ( ) } ``` ### Props | Property | Type | Required | Default | Description | | ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | -------- | ----------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | cmsURL | `string` | true | `http://localhost:8000` | `serverURL` as defined in your [Payload config](https://payloadcms.com/docs/configuration/overview#options) | | adminPath | `string` | false | /admin | `routes` as defined in your [Payload config](https://payloadcms.com/docs/configuration/overview#options) | | apiPath | `string` | false | /api | `routes` as defined in your [Payload config](https://payloadcms.com/docs/configuration/overview#options) | | authCollectionSlug | `string` | false | 'users' | Slug of your [auth collection](https://payloadcms.com/docs/configuration/collections) | | collectionSlug | `string` | true | undefined | Slug of your [collection](https://payloadcms.com/docs/configuration/collections) | | collectionLabels | `{ singular?: string, plural?: string }` | false | undefined | Labels of your [collection](https://payloadcms.com/docs/configuration/collections) | | id | `string` | true | undefined | id of the document | | logo | `ReactElement` | false | undefined | Custom logo | | classNames | `{ logo?: string, user?: string, controls?: string, create?: string, logout?: string, edit?: string, preview?: string }` | false | undefined | Custom class names, one for each rendered element | | logoProps | `{[key: string]?: unknown}` | false | undefined | Custom props | | userProps | `{[key: string]?: unknown}` | false | undefined | Custom props | | divProps | `{[key: string]?: unknown}` | false | undefined | Custom props | | createProps | `{[key: string]?: unknown}` | false | undefined | Custom props | | logoutProps | `{[key: string]?: unknown}` | false | undefined | Custom props | | editProps | `{[key: string]?: unknown}` | false | undefined | Custom props | | previewProps | `{[key: string]?: unknown}` | false | undefined | Custom props | | style | `CSSProperties` | false | undefined | Custom inline style | | unstyled | `boolean` | false | undefined | If true, renders no inline style | | onAuthChange | `(user: PayloadMeUser) => void` | false | undefined | Fired on each auth change | | devMode | `boolean` | false | undefined | If true, fakes authentication (useful when dealing with [SameSite cookies](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Set-Cookie/SameSite)) | | preview | `boolean` | false | undefined | If true, renders an exit button with your `onPreviewExit` handler) | | onPreviewExit | `function` | false | undefined | Callback for the preview button `onClick` event) |
