Payload is designed with performance in mind, but its customizability
means that there are many ways to configure your app that can impact
performance.
While Payload provides several features and best practices to help you
optimize your app's specific performance needs, these are not currently
well surfaced and can be obscure.
Now:
- A high-level performance doc now exists at `/docs/performance`
- There's a new section on performance within the `/docs/queries` doc
- There's a new section on performance within the `/docs/hooks` doc
- There's a new section on performance within the
`/docs/custom-components` doc
This PR also:
- Restructures and elaborates on the `/docs/queries/pagination` docs
- Adds a new `/docs/database/indexing` doc
- More

- To see the specific tasks where the Asana app for GitHub is being
used, see below:
- https://app.asana.com/0/0/1210743577153856
- Adds missing types, especially the `Where` type. Will be helpful for
people to see that they can type their queries like that
- Mention pnpm first and prefer pnpm > npm > yarn throughout docs
- Add `payload` to function arguments in examples to discourage people
from doing `import payload from 'payload'`
- PNPM => pnpm, NPM => npm
- Fix some typos
### What?
Fixes links in Queries/Operators table for `within` and `intersects`
operator descriptions.
### Why?
So that they point to the correct destination in the docs.
### How?
Changes to `docs/queries/overview.mdx`
See here:

Adds documentation for `within` and `intersects` operators.
#### Querying - within
In order to do query based on whether points are within a specific area
defined in GeoJSON, you can use the `within` operator.
Example:
```ts
const polygon: Point[] = [
[9.0, 19.0], // bottom-left
[9.0, 21.0], // top-left
[11.0, 21.0], // top-right
[11.0, 19.0], // bottom-right
[9.0, 19.0], // back to starting point to close the polygon
]
payload.find({
collection: "points",
where: {
point: {
within: {
type: 'Polygon',
coordinates: [polygon],
},
},
},
})
```
#### Querying - intersects
In order to do query based on whether points intersect a specific area
defined in GeoJSON, you can use the `intersects` operator.
Example:
```ts
const polygon: Point[] = [
[9.0, 19.0], // bottom-left
[9.0, 21.0], // top-left
[11.0, 21.0], // top-right
[11.0, 19.0], // bottom-right
[9.0, 19.0], // back to starting point to close the polygon
]
payload.find({
collection: "points",
where: {
point: {
intersects: {
type: 'Polygon',
coordinates: [polygon],
},
},
},
})
```
* chore: ensures example configs are being exported when necessary
* chore: adds note regarding updating of hidden fields
