If it's undefined/null => Fallback Component may be rendered
If it's false => No component should be rendered - as if an empty
component was passed in
This ensures that the user does not have to install `@payloadcms/ui`
anymore, which previously exported an empty component to be used in
component paths
This PR makes three major changes to the codebase:
1. [Component Paths](#component-paths)
Instead of importing custom components into your config directly, they
are now defined as file paths and rendered only when needed. That way
the Payload config will be significantly more lightweight, and ensures
that the Payload config is 100% server-only and Node-safe. Related
discussion: https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/discussions/6938
2. [Client Config](#client-config)
Deprecates the component map by merging its logic into the client
config. The main goal of this change is for performance and
simplification. There was no need to deeply iterate over the Payload
config twice, once for the component map, and another for the client
config. Instead, we can do everything in the client config one time.
This has also dramatically simplified the client side prop drilling
through the UI library. Now, all components can share the same client
config which matches the exact shape of their Payload config (with the
exception of non-serializable props and mapped custom components).
3. [Custom client component are no longer
server-rendered](#custom-client-components-are-no-longer-server-rendered)
Previously, custom components would be server-rendered, no matter if
they are server or client components. Now, only server components are
rendered on the server. Client components are automatically detected,
and simply get passed through as `MappedComponent` to be rendered fully
client-side.
## Component Paths
Instead of importing custom components into your config directly, they
are now defined as file paths and rendered only when needed. That way
the Payload config will be significantly more lightweight, and ensures
that the Payload config is 100% server-only and Node-safe. Related
discussion: https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/discussions/6938
In order to reference any custom components in the Payload config, you
now have to specify a string path to the component instead of importing
it.
Old:
```ts
import { MyComponent2} from './MyComponent2.js'
admin: {
components: {
Label: MyComponent2
},
},
```
New:
```ts
admin: {
components: {
Label: '/collections/Posts/MyComponent2.js#MyComponent2', // <= has to be a relative path based on a baseDir configured in the Payload config - NOT relative based on the importing file
},
},
```
### Local API within Next.js routes
Previously, if you used the Payload Local API within Next.js pages, all
the client-side modules are being added to the bundle for that specific
page, even if you only need server-side functionality.
This `/test` route, which uses the Payload local API, was previously 460
kb. It is now down to 91 kb and does not bundle the Payload client-side
admin panel anymore.
All tests done
[here](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload-3.0-demo/tree/feat/path-test)
with beta.67/PR, db-mongodb and default richtext-lexical:
**dev /admin before:**

**dev /admin after:**

---
**dev /test before:**

**dev /test after:**

---
**build before:**

**build after::**

### Usage of the Payload Local API / config outside of Next.js
This will make it a lot easier to use the Payload config / local API in
other, server-side contexts. Previously, you might encounter errors due
to client files (like .scss files) not being allowed to be imported.
## Client Config
Deprecates the component map by merging its logic into the client
config. The main goal of this change is for performance and
simplification. There was no need to deeply iterate over the Payload
config twice, once for the component map, and another for the client
config. Instead, we can do everything in the client config one time.
This has also dramatically simplified the client side prop drilling
through the UI library. Now, all components can share the same client
config which matches the exact shape of their Payload config (with the
exception of non-serializable props and mapped custom components).
This is breaking change. The `useComponentMap` hook no longer exists,
and most component props have changed (for the better):
```ts
const { componentMap } = useComponentMap() // old
const { config } = useConfig() // new
```
The `useConfig` hook has also changed in shape, `config` is now a
property _within_ the context obj:
```ts
const config = useConfig() // old
const { config } = useConfig() // new
```
## Custom Client Components are no longer server rendered
Previously, custom components would be server-rendered, no matter if
they are server or client components. Now, only server components are
rendered on the server. Client components are automatically detected,
and simply get passed through as `MappedComponent` to be rendered fully
client-side.
The benefit of this change:
Custom client components can now receive props. Previously, the only way
for them to receive dynamic props from a parent client component was to
use hooks, e.g. `useFieldProps()`. Now, we do have the option of passing
in props to the custom components directly, if they are client
components. This will be simpler than having to look for the correct
hook.
This makes rendering them on the client a little bit more complex, as
you now have to check if that component is a server component (=>
already has been rendered) or a client component (=> not rendered yet,
has to be rendered here). However, this added complexity has been
alleviated through the easy-to-use `<RenderMappedComponent />` helper.
This helper now also handles rendering arrays of custom components (e.g.
beforeList, beforeLogin ...), which actually makes rendering custom
components easier in some cases.
## Misc improvements
This PR includes misc, breaking changes. For example, we previously
allowed unions between components and config object for the same
property. E.g. for the custom view property, you were allowed to pass in
a custom component or an object with other properties, alongside a
custom component.
Those union types are now gone. You can now either pass an object, or a
component. The previous `{ View: MyViewComponent}` is now `{ View: {
Component: MyViewComponent} }` or `{ View: { Default: { Component:
MyViewComponent} } }`.
This dramatically simplifies the way we read & process those properties,
especially in buildComponentMap. We can now simply check for the
existence of one specific property, which always has to be a component,
instead of running cursed runtime checks on a shared union property
which could contain a component, but could also contain functions or
objects.

Fixes https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/7428
Now email and username fields are rendered with the RenderFields
component, making them behave similarly to other fields. They now appear
and can respect doc permissions, readOnly settings, etc.
## Description
Fixes#7354
Since the `defaultIDType` for IDs in `postgres` are of type `number` -
the `contains` operator should be available in the filter options.
This PR checks the `defaultIDType` of ID and properly outputs the
correct component type for IDs
I.e if ID is of type `number` - the filter operators for ID should
correspond to the the operators of type number as well
The `contains` operator only belongs on fields of type string, aka of
component type `text`

Allows username to be optional when using the new loginWithUsername
feature. This can be done by the following:
```ts
auth: {
loginWithUsername: {
requireUsername: false, // <-- new property, default true
requireEmail: false, // default: false
allowEmailLogin: true, // default false
},
},
```
## Description
- Updates admin UI with more condensed spacing throughout.
- Improves hover states and read-only states for various components.
- Removes the `Merriweather` font from `next/font` and replaces with
stack of system serif fonts and fallbacks (Georgia, etc). Closes#7257
## BREAKING CHANGES
- Custom components and styling that don't utilize Payload's CSS/SCSS
variables may need adjustments to match the updated styling.
- If you are using the `Merriweather` font, you will need to manually
configure `next/font` in your own project.

## Description
Currently, there is no way to read field props from within a custom
field component, i.e. `admin.components.Description`. For example, if
you set `maxLength: 100` on your field, your custom description
component cannot read it from `props.maxLength` or any other methods.
Because these components are rendered on the server, there is also no
way of using `admin.component.Field` to inject custom props yourself,
either. To support this, we can simply pass the base component props
into these components on the server, as expected. This has also led to
custom field component props becoming more strictly typed within the
config.
This change is considered breaking only because the types have changed.
This only affects you if you were previously importing the following
types into your own custom components. To migrate, simply change the
import paths for that type.
Old:
```ts
import type {
ArrayFieldProps,
ReducedBlock,
BlocksFieldProps,
CheckboxFieldProps,
CodeFieldProps,
CollapsibleFieldProps,
DateFieldProps,
EmailFieldProps,
GroupFieldProps,
HiddenFieldProps,
JSONFieldProps,
NumberFieldProps,
PointFieldProps,
RadioFieldProps,
RelationshipFieldProps,
RichTextComponentProps,
RowFieldProps,
SelectFieldProps,
TabsFieldProps,
TextFieldProps,
TextareaFieldProps,
UploadFieldProps,
ErrorProps,
FormFieldBase,
FieldComponentProps,
FieldMap,
MappedField,
MappedTab,
ReducedBlock,
} from '@payloadcms/ui'
```
New:
```ts
import type {
FormFieldBase,
// etc.
} from 'payload'
```
Custom field components are now much more strongly typed. To make this
happen, an explicit type for every custom component has been generated
for every field type. The convention is to append
`DescriptionComponent`, `LabelComponent`, and `ErrorComponent` onto the
end of the field name, i.e. `TextFieldDescriptionComponent`. Here's an
example:
```ts
import type { TextFieldDescriptionComponent } from 'payload'
import React from 'react'
export const CustomDescription: TextFieldDescriptionComponent = (props) => {
return (
<div id="custom-field-description">{`The max length of this field is: ${props?.maxLength}`}</div>
)
}
```
Here's the full list of all new types:
Label Components:
```ts
import type {
ArrayFieldLabelComponent,
BlocksFieldLabelComponent,
CheckboxFieldLabelComponent,
CodeFieldLabelComponent,
CollapsibleFieldLabelComponent,
DateFieldLabelComponent,
EmailFieldLabelComponent,
GroupFieldLabelComponent,
HiddenFieldLabelComponent,
JSONFieldLabelComponent,
NumberFieldLabelComponent,
PointFieldLabelComponent,
RadioFieldLabelComponent,
RelationshipFieldLabelComponent,
RichTextFieldLabelComponent,
RowFieldLabelComponent,
SelectFieldLabelComponent,
TabsFieldLabelComponent,
TextFieldLabelComponent,
TextareaFieldLabelComponent,
UploadFieldLabelComponent
} from 'payload'
```
Error Components:
```tsx
import type {
ArrayFieldErrorComponent,
BlocksFieldErrorComponent,
CheckboxFieldErrorComponent,
CodeFieldErrorComponent,
CollapsibleFieldErrorComponent,
DateFieldErrorComponent,
EmailFieldErrorComponent,
GroupFieldErrorComponent,
HiddenFieldErrorComponent,
JSONFieldErrorComponent,
NumberFieldErrorComponent,
PointFieldErrorComponent,
RadioFieldErrorComponent,
RelationshipFieldErrorComponent,
RichTextFieldErrorComponent,
RowFieldErrorComponent,
SelectFieldErrorComponent,
TabsFieldErrorComponent,
TextFieldErrorComponent,
TextareaFieldErrorComponent,
UploadFieldErrorComponent
} from 'payload'
```
Description Components:
```tsx
import type {
ArrayFieldDescriptionComponent,
BlocksFieldDescriptionComponent,
CheckboxFieldDescriptionComponent,
CodeFieldDescriptionComponent,
CollapsibleFieldDescriptionComponent,
DateFieldDescriptionComponent,
EmailFieldDescriptionComponent,
GroupFieldDescriptionComponent,
HiddenFieldDescriptionComponent,
JSONFieldDescriptionComponent,
NumberFieldDescriptionComponent,
PointFieldDescriptionComponent,
RadioFieldDescriptionComponent,
RelationshipFieldDescriptionComponent,
RichTextFieldDescriptionComponent,
RowFieldDescriptionComponent,
SelectFieldDescriptionComponent,
TabsFieldDescriptionComponent,
TextFieldDescriptionComponent,
TextareaFieldDescriptionComponent,
UploadFieldDescriptionComponent
} from 'payload'
```
This PR also:
- Standardizes the `FieldBase['label']` type with a new `LabelStatic`
type. This makes type usage much more consistent across components.
- Simplifies some of the typings in the field component map, removes
unneeded `<Omit>`, etc.
- Fixes misc. linting issues around voiding promises

- Upgrades eslint from v8 to v9
- Upgrades all other eslint packages. We will have to do a new
full-project lint, as new rules have been added
- Upgrades husky from v8 to v9
- Upgrades lint-staged from v14 to v15
- Moves the old .eslintrc.cjs file format to the new eslint.config.js
flat file format.
Previously, we were very specific regarding which rules are applied to
which files. Now that `extends` is no longer a thing, I have to use
deepMerge & imports instead.
This is rather uncommon and is not a documented pattern - e.g.
typescript-eslint docs want us to add the default typescript-eslint
rules to the top-level & then disable it in files using the
disable-typechecked config.
However, I hate this opt-out approach. The way I did it here adds a lot
of clarity as to which rules are applied to which files, and is pretty
easy to read. Much less black magic
## .eslintignore
These files are no longer supported (see
https://eslint.org/docs/latest/use/configure/migration-guide#ignoring-files).
I moved the entries to the ignores property in the eslint config. => one
less file in each package folder!
## Description
Exports `getSiblingData`, `getDataByPath`, `reduceFieldsToValues`, and
`unflatten` from `payload`. These utilities were previously accessible
using direct import paths from `@payloadcms/ui`—but this is no longer
advised since moving to a pre-bundled UI library pattern. Instead of
simply exporting these from the `@payloadcms/ui` package, these exports
have been moved to Payload itself to provision for use outside of React
environments.
This is considered a breaking change. If you were previously importing
any of these utilities, the imports paths have changed as follows:
Old:
```ts
import { getSiblingData, getDataByPath, reduceFieldsToValues } from '@payloadcms/ui/forms/Form'
import { unflatten } from '@payloadcms/ui/utilities'
```
New:
```ts
import { getSiblingData, getDataByPath, reduceFieldsToValues, unflatten } from 'payload/shared'
```
The `is-buffer` dependency was also removed in this PR.

## Description
BREAKING CHANGE: Color values have changed and will have different
contrasts. If you use any of Payload's colors in your apps, you may need
to adjust your use of them to maintain proper styling/accessibility.
Colors palettes changed:
- `--theme-success-*`
- `--theme-error-*`
- `--theme-warning-*`
- `--color-success-*`
- `--color-error-*`
- `--color-warning-*`
- `--color-blue-*`
Updates the color palette used throughout Payload to be more consistent
between dark and light values. Contrast values are now more in line with
the `theme-elevation` contrasts. Some adjustments to the Toast
components as well to match light/dark mode better.

Removes PayloadRequestWithData in favour of just PayloadRequest with
optional types for `data` and `locale`
`addDataAndFileToRequest` and `addLocalesToRequestFromData` now takes in
a single argument instead of an object
```ts

**BREAKING:** All `@payloadcms/ui/client` exports have been renamed to
`@payloadcms/ui`. A simple find & replace across your entire project
will be enough to migrate. This change greatly improves import
auto-completions in IDEs which lack proper support for package.json
exports, like Webstorm.
