Follow up to #11375.
When setting `filterOptions` on relationship or upload fields _that are
nested within a named field_, those options won't be applied to the
`Filter` component in the list view.
This is because of how we key the results when resolving `filterOptions`
on the server. Instead of using the field path as expected, we were
using the field name, causing a failed lookup on the front-end. This
also solves an issue where two fields with the same name would override
each other's `filterOptions`, since field names alone are not unique.
Unrelated: this PR also does some general housekeeping to e2e test
helpers.

Fixes#13574.
When editing an autosave-enabled document within a document drawer, any
changes made will while the autosave is processing are ultimately
discarded from local form state. This makes is difficult or even
impossible to edit fields.
This is because we server-render, then replace, the entire document on
every save. This includes form state, which is stale because it was
rendered while new changes were still being made. We don't need to
re-render the entire view on every save, though, only on create. We
don't do this on the top-level edit view, for example. Instead, we only
need to replace form state.
This change is also a performance improvement because we are no longer
rendering all components unnecessarily, especially on every autosave
interval.

Supports grouping documents by specific fields within the list view.
For example, imagine having a "posts" collection with a "categories"
field. To report on each specific category, you'd traditionally filter
for each category, one at a time. This can be quite inefficient,
especially with large datasets.
Now, you can interact with all categories simultaneously, grouped by
distinct values.
Here is a simple demonstration:
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/0dcd19d2-e983-47e6-9ea2-cfdd2424d8b5
Enable on any collection by setting the `admin.groupBy` property:
```ts
import type { CollectionConfig } from 'payload'
const MyCollection: CollectionConfig = {
// ...
admin: {
groupBy: true
}
}
```
This is currently marked as beta to gather feedback while we reach full
stability, and to leave room for API changes and other modifications.
Use at your own risk.
Note: when using `groupBy`, bulk editing is done group-by-group. In the
future we may support cross-group bulk editing.
Dependent on #13102 (merged).

This clarifies that jobs.autoRun only *runs* already-queued jobs. It does not queue the jobs for you.
Also adds an e2e test as this functionality had no e2e coverage
I noticed a few issues when running e2e tests that will be resolved by
this PR:
- Most important: for some test suites (fields, fields-relationship,
versions, queues, lexical), the database was cleared and seeded
**twice** in between each test run. This is because the onInit function
was running the clear and seed script, when it should only have been
running the seed script. Clearing the database / the snapshot workflow
is being done by the reInit endpoint, which then calls onInit to seed
the actual data.
- The slowest part of `clearAndSeedEverything` is recreating indexes on
mongodb. This PR slightly improves performance here by:
- Skipping this process for the built-in `['payload-migrations',
'payload-preferences', 'payload-locked-documents']` collections
- Previously we were calling both `createIndexes` and `ensureIndexes`.
This was unnecessary - `ensureIndexes` is a deprecated alias of
`createIndexes`. This PR changes it to only call `createIndexes`
- Makes the reinit endpoint accept GET requests instead of POST requests
- this makes it easier to debug right in the browser
- Some typescript fixes
- Adds a `dev:memorydb` script to the package.json. For some reason,
`dev` is super unreliable on mongodb locally when running e2e tests - it
frequently fails during index creation. Using the memorydb fixes this
issue, with the bonus of more closely resembling the CI environment
- Previously, you were unable to run test suites using turbopack +
postgres. This fixes it, by explicitly installing `pg` as devDependency
in our monorepo
- Fixes jest open handles warning
This PR introduces a few changes to improve turbopack compatibility and
ensure e2e tests pass with turbopack enabled
## Changes to improve turbopack compatibility
- Use correct sideEffects configuration to fix scss issues
- Import scss directly instead of duplicating our scss rules
- Fix some scss rules that are not supported by turbopack
- Bump Next.js and all other dependencies used to build payload
## Changes to get tests to pass
For an unknown reason, flaky tests flake a lot more often in turbopack.
This PR does the following to get them to pass:
- add more `wait`s
- fix actual flakes by ensuring previous operations are properly awaited
## Blocking turbopack bugs
- [X] https://github.com/vercel/next.js/issues/76464
- Fix PR: https://github.com/vercel/next.js/pull/76545
- Once fixed: change `"sideEffectsDisabled":` back to `"sideEffects":`

## Related PRs
https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/pull/12653https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/pull/12652
I think it's easier to review this PR commit by commit, so I'll explain
it this way:
## Commits
1. [parallelize eslint script (still showing logs results in
serial)](c9ac49c12d):
Previously, `--concurrency 1` was added to the script to make the logs
more readable. However, turborepo has an option specifically for these
use cases: `--log-order=grouped` runs the tasks in parallel but outputs
them serially. As a result, the lint script is now significantly faster.
2. [run pnpm
lint:fix](9c128c276a)
The auto-fix was run, which resolved some eslint errors that were
slipped in due to the use of `no-verify`. Most of these were
`perfectionist` fixes (property ordering) and the removal of unnecessary
assertions. Starting with this PR, this won't happen again in the
future, as we'll be verifying the linter in every PR across the entire
codebase (see commit 7).
3. [fix eslint non-autofixable
errors](700f412a33)
All manual errors have been resolved except for the configuration errors
addressed in commit 5. Most were React compiler violations, which have
been disabled and commented out "TODO" for now. There's also an unused
`use no memo` and a couple of `require` errors.
4. [move react-compiler linter to eslint-config
package](4f7cb4d63a)
To simplify the eslint configuration. My concern was that there would be
a performance regression when used in non-react related packages, but
none was experienced. This is probably because it only runs on .tsx
files.
5. [remove redundant eslint config files and fix
allowDefaultProject](a94347995a)
The main feature introduced by `typescript-eslint` v8 was
`projectService`, which automatically searches each file for the closest
`tsconfig`, greatly simplifying configuration in monorepos
([source](https://typescript-eslint.io/blog/announcing-typescript-eslint-v8#project-service)).
Once I moved `projectService` to `packages/eslint-config`, all the other
configuration files could be easily removed.
I confirmed that pnpm lint still works on individual packages.
The other important change was that the pending eslint errors from
commits 2 and 3 were resolved. That is, some files were giving the
error: "[File] was not found by the project service. Consider either
including it in the tsconfig.json or including it in
allowDefaultProject." Below I copy the explanatory comment I left in the
code:
```ts
// This is necessary because `tsconfig.base.json` defines `"rootDir": "${configDir}/src"`,
// And the following files aren't in src because they aren't transpiled.
// This is typescript-eslint's way of adding files that aren't included in tsconfig.
// See: https://typescript-eslint.io/troubleshooting/typed-linting/#i-get-errors-telling-me--was-not-found-by-the-project-service-consider-either-including-it-in-the-tsconfigjson-or-including-it-in-allowdefaultproject
// The best practice is to have a tsconfig.json that covers ALL files and is used for
// typechecking (with noEmit), and a `tsconfig.build.json` that is used for the build
// (or alternatively, swc, tsup or tsdown). That's what we should ideally do, in which case
// this hardcoded list wouldn't be necessary. Note that these files don't currently go
// through ts, only through eslint.
```
6. [Differentiate errors from warnings in VScode ESLint
Rules](5914d2f48d)
There's no reason to do that. If an eslint rule isn't an error, it
should be disabled or converted to a warning.
7. [Disable skip lint, and lint over the entire repo now that it's
faster](e4b28f1360)
The GitHub action linted only the files that had changed in the PR.
While this seems like a good idea, once exceptions were introduced with
[skip lint], they opened the door to propagating more and more errors.
Often, the linter was skipped, not because someone introduced new
errors, but because they were trying to avoid those that had already
crept in, sometimes accidentally introducing new ones.
On the other hand, `pnpm lint` now runs in parallel (commit 1), so it's
not that slow. Additionally, it runs in parallel with other GitHub
actions like e2e tests, which take much longer, so it can't represent a
bottleneck in CI.
8. [fix lint in next
package](4506595f91)
Small fix missing from commit 5
9. [Merge remote-tracking branch 'origin/main' into
fix-eslint](563d4909c1)
10. [add again eslint.config.js in payload
package](78f6ffcae7)
The comment in the code explains it. Basically, after the merge from
main, the payload package runs out of memory when linting, probably
because it grew in recent PRs. That package will sooner or later
collapse for our tooling, so we may have to split it. It's already too
big.
## Future Actions
- Resolve React compiler violations, as mentioned in commit 3.
- Decouple the `tsconfig` used for typechecking and build across the
entire monorepo (as explained in point 5) to ensure ts coverage even for
files that aren't transpiled (such as scripts).
- Remove the few remaining `eslint.config.js`. I had to leave the
`richtext-lexical` and `next` ones for now. They could be moved to the
root config and scoped to their packages, as we do for example with
`templates/vercel-postgres/**`. However, I couldn't get it to work, I
don't know why.
- Make eslint in the test folder usable. Not only are we not linting
`test` in CI, but now the `pnpm eslint .` command is so large that my
computer freezes. If each suite were its own package, this would be
solved, and dynamic codegen + git hooks to modify tsconfig.base.json
wouldn't be necessary
([related](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/pull/11984)).
When server rendering custom components within form state, those
components receive a path that is correct at render time, but
potentially stale after manipulating array and blocks rows. This causes
the field to briefly render incorrect values while the form state
request is in flight.
The reason for this is that paths are passed as a prop statically into
those components. Then when we manipulate rows, form state is modified,
potentially changing field paths. The component's `path` prop, however,
hasn't changed. This means it temporarily points to the wrong field in
form state, rendering the data of another row until the server responds
with a freshly rendered component.
This is not an issue with default Payload fields as they are rendered on
the client and can be passed dynamic props.
This is only an issue within custom server components, including rich
text fields which are treated as custom components. Since they are
rendered on the server and passed to the client, props are inaccessible
after render.
The fix for this is to provide paths dynamically through context. This
way as we make changes to form state, there is a mechanism in which
server components can receive the updated path without waiting on its
props to update.
Query Presets allow you to save and share filters, columns, and sort
orders for your collections. This is useful for reusing common or
complex filtering patterns and column configurations across your team.
Query Presets are defined on the fly by the users of your app, rather
than being hard coded into the Payload Config.
Here's a screen recording demonstrating the general workflow as it
relates to the list view. Query Presets are not exclusive to the admin
panel, however, as they could be useful in a number of other contexts
and environments.
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/1fe1155e-ae78-4f59-9138-af352762a1d5
Each Query Preset is saved as a new record in the database under the
`payload-query-presets` collection. This will effectively make them
CRUDable and allows for an endless number of preset configurations. As
you make changes to filters, columns, limit, etc. you can choose to save
them as a new record and optionally share them with others.
Normal document-level access control will determine who can read,
update, and delete these records. Payload provides a set of sensible
defaults here, such as "only me", "everyone", and "specific users", but
you can also extend your own set of access rules on top of this, such as
"by role", etc. Access control is customizable at the operation-level,
for example you can set this to "everyone" can read, but "only me" can
update.
To enable the Query Presets within a particular collection, set
`enableQueryPresets` on that collection's config.
Here's an example:
```ts
{
// ...
enableQueryPresets: true
}
```
Once enabled, a new set of controls will appear within the list view of
the admin panel. This is where you can select and manage query presets.
General settings for Query Presets are configured under the root
`queryPresets` property. This is where you can customize the labels,
apply custom access control rules, etc.
Here's an example of how you might augment the access control properties
with your own custom rule to achieve RBAC:
```ts
{
// ...
queryPresets: {
constraints: {
read: [
{
label: 'Specific Roles',
value: 'specificRoles',
fields: [roles],
access: ({ req: { user } }) => ({
'access.update.roles': {
in: [user?.roles],
},
}),
},
],
}
}
}
```

Implements a form state task queue. This will prevent onChange handlers
within the form component from processing unnecessarily often, sometimes
long after the user has stopped making changes. This leads to a
potentially huge number of network requests if those changes were made
slower than the debounce rate. This is especially noticeable on slow
networks.
Does so through a new `useQueue` hook. This hook maintains a stack of
events that need processing but only processes the final event to
arrive. Every time a new event is pushed to the stack, the currently
running process is aborted (if any), and that event becomes the next in
the queue. This results in a shocking reduction in the time it takes
between final change to form state and the final network response, from
~1.5 minutes to ~3 seconds (depending on the scenario, see below).
This likely fixes a number of existing open issues. I will link those
issues here once they are identified and verifiably fixed.
Before:
I'm typing slowly here to ensure my changes aren't debounce by the form.
There are a total of 60 characters typed, triggering 58 network requests
and taking around 1.5 minutes to complete after the final change was
made.

After:
Here there are a total of 69 characters typed, triggering 11 network
requests and taking only about 3 seconds to complete after the final
change was made.

Fixes https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/11568
### What? Out of sync errors states
- Collaspibles & Tabs were not reporting accurate child error counts
- Arrays could get into a state where they would not update their error
states
- Slight issue with toasts
### Tabs & Collapsibles
The logic for determining matching field paths was not functioning as
intended. Fields were attempting to match with paths such as `_index-0`
which will not work.
### Arrays
The form state was not updating when the server sent back errorPaths.
This PR adds `errorPaths` to `serverPropsToAccept`.
### Toasts
Some toasts could report errors in the form of `my > > error`. This
ensures they will be `my > error`
### Misc
Removes 2 files that were not in use:
- `getFieldStateFromPaths.ts`
- `getNestedFieldState.ts`
Maintains column state in the URL. This makes it possible to share
direct links to the list view in a specific column order or active
column state, similar to the behavior of filters. This also makes it
possible to change both the filters and columns in the same rendering
cycle, a requirement of the "list presets" feature being worked on here:
#11330.
For example:
```
?columns=%5B"title"%2C"content"%2C"-updatedAt"%2C"createdAt"%2C"id"%5D
```
The `-` prefix denotes that the column is inactive.
This strategy performs a single round trip to the server, ultimately
simplifying the table columns provider as it no longer needs to request
a newly rendered table for itself. Without this change, column state
would need to be replaced first, followed by a change to the filters.
This would make an unnecessary number of requests to the server and
briefly render the UI in a stale state.
This all happens behind an optimistic update, where the state of the
columns is immediately reflected in the UI while the request takes place
in the background.
Technically speaking, an additional database query in performed compared
to the old strategy, whereas before we'd send the data through the
request to avoid this. But this is a necessary tradeoff and doesn't have
huge performance implications. One could argue that this is actually a
good thing, as the data might have changed in the background which would
not have been reflected in the result otherwise.
Removes all unnecessary `page.waitForURL` methods within e2e tests.
These are unneeded when following a `page.goto` call because the
subsequent page load is already being awaited.
It is only a requirement when:
- Clicking a link and expecting navigation
- Expecting a redirect after a route change
- Waiting for a change in search params
Continuation of #11008. When `filterOptions` are set on a relationship
field that is _nested within another field_, those filter options are
not applied to `Filter` component in the list view. This is because we
were only shallowly resolving filter options on top-level fields, as
opposed to recursively traversing fields to resolve them even when
deeply nested.
Fixes#10440. When `filterOptions` are set on a relationship field,
those same filters are not applied to the `Filter` component within the
list view. This is because `filterOptions` is not being thread into the
`RelationshipFilter` component responsible for populating the available
options.
To do this, we first need to be resolve the filter options on the server
as they accept functions. Once resolved, they can be prop-drilled into
the proper component and appended onto the client-side "where" query.
Reliant on #11080.
Fixes#9873. The relationship filter in the "where" builder renders
stale values when switching between fields or adding additional "and"
conditions. This was because the `RelationshipFilter` component was not
responding to changes in the `relationTo` prop and failing to reset
internal state when these events took place.
While it sounds like a simple fix, it was actually quite extensive. The
`RelationshipFilter` component was previously relying on a `useEffect`
that had a callback in its dependencies. This was causing the effect to
run uncontrollably using old references. To avoid this, we use the new
`useEffectEvent` approach which allows the underlying effect to run much
more precisely. Same with the `Condition` component that wraps it. We
now run callbacks directly within event handlers as much as possible,
and rely on `useEffectEvent` _only_ for debounced value changes.
This component was also unnecessarily complex...and still is to some
degree. Previously, it was maintaining two separate refs, one to track
the relationships that have yet to fully load, and another to track the
next pages of each relationship that need to load on the next run. These
have been combined into a single ref that tracks both simultaneously, as
this data is interrelated.
This change also does some much needed housekeeping to the
`WhereBuilder` by improving types, defaulting the operator field, etc.
Related: #11023 and #11032
Unrelated: finds a few more instances where the new `addListFilter`
helper from #11026 could be used. Also removes a few duplicative tests.
Adds a new `addListFilter` e2e helper. This will help to standardize
this common functionality across all tests that require filtering list
tables and help reduce the overall lines of code within each test file.
When using the filter controls in the list view on a relationship field,
the select options would clear after clicking outside of the component
then never repopulate. This caused the component to remain in an
unusable state, where no options would appear unless the filter is
completely removed and re-added. The reason for this is that the
`react-select` component fires an `onInputChange` event on blur, and the
handler that is subscribed to this event was unknowingly clearing the
options.
This PR also renames the various filter components, i.e.
`RelationshipField` -> `RelationshipFilter`. This improves semantics and
dedupes their names from the actual field components.
This bug was first introduced in this PR: #10553
The `fields-relationship` test suite is disorganized to the point of
being unusable. This makes it very difficult to digest at a high level
and add new tests.
This PR cleans it up in the following ways:
- Moves collection configs to their own standalone files
- Moves the seed function to its own file
- Consolidates collection slugs in their own file
- Uses generated types instead of defining them statically
- Wraps the `filterOptions` e2e tests within a describe block
Related, there are three distinct test suites where we manage
relationships: `relationships`, `fields-relationship`, and `fields >
relationships`. In the future we ought to consolidate at least two of
these. IMO the `fields > relationship` suite should remain in place for
general _component level_ UI tests for the field itself, whereas the
other suite could run the integration tests and test the more complex UI
patterns that exist outside of the field component.
Improves the admin e2e test splitting by grouping them by type with
semantic names as opposed to numerically. This will provide much needed
clarity to exactly _where_ new admin tests should be written and help to
quickly distinguish the areas of failure within the CI overview.
Continuation of #9846 and partial fix for #9774. When setting
`admin.disableListFilter` retroactively, it remains active within the
list filter controls. Same for when the URL search query contains one of
these fields, except this will actually display the _wrong_ field,
falling back to the _first_ field from the config. The fix is to
properly disable the condition for this field if it's an active filter,
while still preventing it from ever rendering as an option within the
field selector itself.
Closes#9242 and #9365. Autosave-enabled documents rendered within a
drawer were not being properly handled. This was causing multiple draft
documents to be created upon opening the drawer, as well as an empty
document returned from the server function, etc.
Currently, Payload renders all custom components on initial compile of
the admin panel. This is problematic for two key reasons:
1. Custom components do not receive contextual data, i.e. fields do not
receive their field data, edit views do not receive their document data,
etc.
2. Components are unnecessarily rendered before they are used
This was initially required to support React Server Components within
the Payload Admin Panel for two key reasons:
1. Fields can be dynamically rendered within arrays, blocks, etc.
2. Documents can be recursively rendered within a "drawer" UI, i.e.
relationship fields
3. Payload supports server/client component composition
In order to achieve this, components need to be rendered on the server
and passed as "slots" to the client. Currently, the pattern for this is
to render custom server components in the "client config". Then when a
view or field is needed to be rendered, we first check the client config
for a "pre-rendered" component, otherwise render our client-side
fallback component.
But for the reasons listed above, this pattern doesn't exactly make
custom server components very useful within the Payload Admin Panel,
which is where this PR comes in. Now, instead of pre-rendering all
components on initial compile, we're able to render custom components
_on demand_, only as they are needed.
To achieve this, we've established [this
pattern](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/pull/8481) of React
Server Functions in the Payload Admin Panel. With Server Functions, we
can iterate the Payload Config and return JSX through React's
`text/x-component` content-type. This means we're able to pass
contextual props to custom components, such as data for fields and
views.
## Breaking Changes
1. Add the following to your root layout file, typically located at
`(app)/(payload)/layout.tsx`:
```diff
/* THIS FILE WAS GENERATED AUTOMATICALLY BY PAYLOAD. */
/* DO NOT MODIFY IT BECAUSE IT COULD BE REWRITTEN AT ANY TIME. */
+ import type { ServerFunctionClient } from 'payload'
import config from '@payload-config'
import { RootLayout } from '@payloadcms/next/layouts'
import { handleServerFunctions } from '@payloadcms/next/utilities'
import React from 'react'
import { importMap } from './admin/importMap.js'
import './custom.scss'
type Args = {
children: React.ReactNode
}
+ const serverFunctions: ServerFunctionClient = async function (args) {
+ 'use server'
+ return handleServerFunctions({
+ ...args,
+ config,
+ importMap,
+ })
+ }
const Layout = ({ children }: Args) => (
<RootLayout
config={config}
importMap={importMap}
+ serverFunctions={serverFunctions}
>
{children}
</RootLayout>
)
export default Layout
```
2. If you were previously posting to the `/api/form-state` endpoint, it
no longer exists. Instead, you'll need to invoke the `form-state` Server
Function, which can be done through the _new_ `getFormState` utility:
```diff
- import { getFormState } from '@payloadcms/ui'
- const { state } = await getFormState({
- apiRoute: '',
- body: {
- // ...
- },
- serverURL: ''
- })
+ const { getFormState } = useServerFunctions()
+
+ const { state } = await getFormState({
+ // ...
+ })
```
## Breaking Changes
```diff
- useFieldProps()
- useCellProps()
```
More details coming soon.

Closes#9000
When you update a relationship document via the document drawer, the
initial document is registering `modified: true`. We should only set
modified to true on the initial document if the relationship id has
changed.
## Description
Currently, you cannot create, delete, or duplicate documents within the
document drawer directly. To create a document within a relationship
field, for example, you must first navigate to the parent field and open
the "create new" drawer. Similarly (but worse), to duplicate or delete a
document, you must _navigate to the parent document to perform these
actions_ which is incredibly disruptive to the content editing workflow.
This becomes especially apparent within the relationship field where you
can edit documents inline, but cannot duplicate or delete them. This PR
supports all document-level actions within the document drawer so that
these actions can be performed on-the-fly without navigating away.

## Description
Reduces the number of client-side requests made by the relationship
field component, and fixes the visual "blink" of the field's value on
initial load. Does so through a new `useIgnoredEffect` hook that allows
this component's effects to be precisely triggered based on whether a
only _subset_ of its dependencies have changed, which looks something
like this:
```tsx
// ...
useIgnoredEffect(() => {
// Do something
}, [deps], [ignoredDeps])
```
"Ignored deps" are still treated as normal dependencies of the
underlying `useEffect` hook, but they do not cause the provided function
to execute. This is useful if you have a list of dependencies that
change often, but need to scope your effect's logic to explicit
dependencies within that list. This is a typical pattern in React using
refs, just standardized within a reusable hook.
This significantly reduces the overall number of re-renders and
duplicative API requests within the relationship field because the
`useEffect` hooks that control the fetching of these related documents
were running unnecessarily often. In the future, we really ought to
leverage the `RelationshipProvider` used in the List View so that we can
also reduce the number of duplicative requests across _unrelated fields_
within the same document.

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.

- 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!
# 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.

Fixes: https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/6486
Adds `X-HTTP-Method-Override` header to allow for sending query params in the body of a POST request. This is useful when the query param string hits the upper limit.
**BREAKING:** We now export toast from `sonner` instead of
`react-toastify`. If you send out toasts from your own projects, make
sure to use our `toast` export, or install `sonner`. React-toastify
toasts will no longer work anymore. The Toast APIs are mostly similar,
but there are some differences if you provide options to your toast
CSS styles have been changed from Toastify
```css
/* before */
.Toastify
/* current */
.payload-toast-container
.payload-toast-item
.payload-toast-close-button
/* individual toast items will also have these classes depending on the state */
.toast-info
.toast-warning
.toast-success
.toast-error
```

Types are now auto-generated by default.
You can opt-out of this behavior by setting:
```ts
buildConfig({
// Rest of config
typescript: {
autoGenerate: false
},
})
