TS 5.7 added support for ES2024. By keeping target: “esnext”, we would have accidentally set our minimum supported ES version to ES2024. This sets it to ES2022, which is the version supported by Node 18
Payload Draft Preview Example Front-End
This is a Next.js app using the Pages Router. It was made explicitly for Payload's Draft Preview Example.
This example uses the Pages Router, the legacy API of Next.js. If your app is using the latest App Router, check out the official App Router Example.
Getting Started
Payload
First you'll need a running Payload app. There is one made explicitly for this example and can be found here. If you have not done so already, clone it down and follow the setup instructions there. This will provide all the necessary APIs that your Next.js app requires for authentication.
Next.js
- Clone this repo
cdinto this directory and runyarnornpm installcp .env.example .envto copy the example environment variablesyarn devornpm run devto start the serveropen http://localhost:3001to see the result
Once running you will find a couple seeded pages on your local environment with some basic instructions. You can also start editing the pages by modifying the documents within Payload. See the Draft Preview Example for full details.

Deployment
The easiest way to deploy your Next.js app is to use the Vercel Platform from the creators of Next.js. You could also combine this app into a single Express server and deploy in to Payload Cloud.
