Jacob Fletcher 9e76c8f4e3 feat!: prebundle payload, ui, richtext-lexical (#6579)
# 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.

Payload Cloud Storage Plugin

This repository contains the officially supported Payload Cloud Storage plugin. It extends Payload to allow you to store all uploaded media in third-party permanent storage.

NOTE: If you are using Payload 3.0 and one of the following storage services, you should use one of following packages instead of this one:

Service Package
Vercel Blob @payloadcms/storage-vercel-blob
AWS S3 @payloadcms/storage-s3
Azure @payloadcms/storage-azure
Google Cloud Storage @payloadcms/storage-gcs

This package is now best used for implementing custom storage solutions or third-party storage services that do not have @payloadcms/storage-* packages.

Installation

pnpm add @payloadcms/plugin-cloud-storage

Usage

import { buildConfig } from 'payload'
import { cloudStoragePlugin } from '@payloadcms/plugin-cloud-storage'

export default buildConfig({
  plugins: [
    cloudStoragePlugin({
      collections: {
        'my-collection-slug': {
          adapter: theAdapterToUse, // see docs for the adapter you want to use
        },
      },
    }),
  ],
  // The rest of your config goes here
})

Conditionally Enabling/Disabling

The proper way to conditionally enable/disable this plugin is to use the enabled property.

cloudStoragePlugin({
  enabled: process.env.MY_CONDITION === 'true',
  collections: {
    'my-collection-slug': {
      adapter: theAdapterToUse, // see docs for the adapter you want to use
    },
  },
}),

If the code is included in any way in your config but conditionally disabled in another fashion, you may run into issues such as Webpack Build Error: Can't Resolve 'fs' and 'stream' or similar because the plugin must be run at all times in order to properly extend the webpack config.

Features

Adapter-based Implementation

This plugin supports the following adapters:

However, you can create your own adapter for any third-party service you would like to use.

All adapters are implemented dev directory's Payload Config. See this file for examples.

Plugin options

This plugin is configurable to work across many different Payload collections. A * denotes that the property is required.

Option Type Description
collections * Record<string, CollectionOptions> Object with keys set to the slug of collections you want to enable the plugin for, and values set to collection-specific options.
enabled boolean to conditionally enable/disable plugin. Default: true.

Collection-specific options:

Option Type Description
adapter * Adapter Pass in the adapter that you'd like to use for this collection. You can also set this field to null for local development if you'd like to bypass cloud storage in certain scenarios and use local storage.
disableLocalStorage boolean Choose to disable local storage on this collection. Defaults to true.
disablePayloadAccessControl true Set to true to disable Payload's access control. More
prefix string Set to media/images to upload files inside media/images folder in the bucket.
generateFileURL GenerateFileURL Override the generated file URL with one that you create.

Payload Access Control

Payload ships with access control that runs even on statically served files. The same read access control property on your upload-enabled collections is used, and it allows you to restrict who can request your uploaded files.

To preserve this feature, by default, this plugin keeps all file URLs exactly the same. Your file URLs won't be updated to point directly to your cloud storage source, as in that case, Payload's access control will be completely bypassed and you would need public readability on your cloud-hosted files.

Instead, all uploads will still be reached from the default /collectionSlug/staticURL/filename path. This plugin will "pass through" all files that are hosted on your third-party cloud service—with the added benefit of keeping your existing access control in place.

If this does not apply to you (your upload collection has read: () => true or similar) you can disable this functionality by setting disablePayloadAccessControl to true. When this setting is in place, this plugin will update your file URLs to point directly to your cloud host.

This plugin was created with significant help, and code, from Alex Bechmann and Richard VanBergen. Thank you!!
