- regenerates the lockfile - upgrades pnpm from v8 to v9.7.0 minimum - ensures playwright does not import payload config. Even after our importmap revamp that made the payload config server-only / node-safe, I was getting these `Error: Invariant: AsyncLocalStorage accessed in runtime where it is not available` errors in combination with pnpm v9 and lockfile regeneration. This does not happen with pnpm v8, however I'm still blaming playwright for this, as this does not happen in dev and we've had this specific error with playwright in the past when we were importing the payload config. Perhaps it's related to both playwright and the future Next.js process importing the same config file, and not related to the config file containing client-side React code. Making sure playwright doesn't import the config fixed it (it was importing it through the import map generation). The import map generation is now run in a separate process, and playwright simply waits for it - One positive thing: this pr fixes a bunch of typescript errors with react-select components. We got those errors because react-select types are not compatible with react 19. lockfile regeneration fixed that (not related to pnpm v9) - probably because we were installing mismatching react versions (I saw both `fb9a90fa48-20240614` and `06d0b89e-20240801` in our lockfile). I have thus removed the caret for react and react-dom in our package.json - now it's consistent
Payload Cloud Plugin
This is the official Payload Cloud plugin that connects your Payload instance to the resources that Payload Cloud provides.
File storage
Payload Cloud gives you S3 file storage backed by Cloudflare as a CDN, and this plugin extends Payload so that all of your media will be stored in S3 rather than locally.
Email delivery
Payload Cloud provides an email delivery service out-of-the-box for all Payload Cloud customers. Powered by Resend.
Upload caching
Payload Cloud provides a caching for all upload collections by default through Cloudflare's CDN.
How to use
Add the plugin to your Payload config
yarn add @payloadcms/plugin-cloud
import { payloadCloud } from '@payloadcms/plugin-cloud'
import { buildConfig } from 'payload'
export default buildConfig({
plugins: [payloadCloud()],
// rest of config
})
NOTE: If your Payload config already has an email with transport, this will take precedence over Payload Cloud's email service.
From Domain
After configuring, ensure that the from email address is from a domain you have access to. Payload Cloud will automatically give you permissions to use your deployed domain with the value available in process.env.PAYLOAD_CLOUD_DEFAULT_DOMAIN. If you have custom domains, your custom domains will also be whitelisted. Attempting to send from a domain you do not have access to will not succeed.
Optional configuration
If you wish to opt-out of any Payload cloud features, the plugin also accepts options to do so.
payloadCloud({
storage: false, // Disable file storage
email: false, // Disable email delivery
uploadCaching: false, // Disable upload caching
})
Upload Caching Configuration
If you wish to configure upload caching on a per-collection basis, you can do so by passing in a keyed object of collection names. By default, all collections will be cached for 24 hours (86400 seconds). The cache is invalidated when an item is updated or deleted.
payloadCloud({
uploadCaching: {
maxAge: 604800, // Override default maxAge for all collections
collection1Slug: {
maxAge: 10, // Collection-specific maxAge, takes precedence over others
},
collection2Slug: {
enabled: false, // Disable caching for this collection
},
},
})
Accessing File Storage from Local Environment
This plugin works off of a specific set of environment variables in order to access your file resources. The following values must be set in your local environment in order to access your file resources:
PAYLOAD_CLOUD=true
PAYLOAD_CLOUD_ENVIRONMENT=prod
PAYLOAD_CLOUD_COGNITO_USER_POOL_CLIENT_ID=
PAYLOAD_CLOUD_COGNITO_USER_POOL_ID=
PAYLOAD_CLOUD_COGNITO_IDENTITY_POOL_ID=
PAYLOAD_CLOUD_PROJECT_ID=
PAYLOAD_CLOUD_BUCKET=
PAYLOAD_CLOUD_BUCKET_REGION=
PAYLOAD_CLOUD_COGNITO_PASSWORD=
Future enhancements
API CDN
In the future, this plugin will also ship with a way to dynamically cache API requests as well as purge them whenever a resource is updated.
When it executes
This plugin will only execute if the required environment variables set by Payload Cloud are in place. If they are not, the plugin will not execute and your Payload instance will behave as normal.
