Similar to #9746. When deploying to Vercel, preview deployment URLs are
dynamically generated. This breaks `admin.preview` within those
deployments because there is no mechanism by which we can detect and set
that URL within Payload. Although Vercel provides various environment
variables at our disposal, they provide no concrete identifier for
exactly which URL is being currently previewed (you can access the same
deployment from a number of different URLs).
The fix is to support relative `admin.preview` URLs, that way Payload
can prepend the application's top-level domain dynamically at
render-time in order to create a fully qualified URL. So when you visit
a Vercel preview deployment, for example, that deployment's unique URL
is used as the preview redirect, instead of the application's
root/production domain. Note: this does not fix multi-tenancy
single-domain setups, as those still require a static top-level domain
for each tenant.
When deploying to Vercel, preview deployment URLs are dynamically

there is no mechanism by which we can detect and set that URL within

Adds details about `output: 'standalone'` to Docker deployment section.
This is required in order for Next.js to be dockerized.
```
const nextConfig = {
output: 'standalone',
}

### What?
Unable to configure expiration time for the password reset tokens.
### Why?
Prior to this change, the expiration time for password reset tokens were
defaulted.
### How?
Adds new `expiration` prop to `auth.forgotPassword` object which allows
for the option to configure the expiration time of password reset
tokens.
Fix broken links.

### What?
Small typo fix in Docs

### What?
https://payloadcms.com/docs does not document the `payload.auth`
feature.
### Why?
With custom components, there is no explanation as to how you can get
the current user on the server side. It is also something useful to know
for many other scenarios. A Discord user even mentioned today, that they
spent quite some time, trying to figure out how to get the current user,
while on the server.
While I don't think it's the cleanest "place" to document it, I think
its what makes the most sense, given the current state of the
documentation. I tried to follow the existing format as close as
possible. The comments are longer, but I feel the information is
absolutely necessary to provide.
Confirmed that formatting works as expected and there are no errors
parsing the addition:

Fixes#9631
## Fix default retries
By default, if no `retries` property has been set, jobs / tasks should
not be retried. This was not the case previously, as the `maxRetries`
variable was `undefined`, causing jobs to retry endlessly. This PR sets
them to `0` by default.
Additionally, this fixes some undesirable behavior of the workflow
retries property. Workflow retries now act as **maximum**,
workflow-level retries. Only tasks that do not have a retry property set
will inherit the workflow-level retries.
## Fix error messages
Previously, you were able to encounter error messages with undefined
values like these:

Reason is that it was always using `job.workflowSlug` for the error
messages. However, if you queue a task directly, without a workflow,
`job.workflowSlug` is undefined and `job.taskSlug` should be used
instead.
This PR then gets rid of the second undefined value by ensuring that
`maxRetries´ is never undefined
Updates the "More details" link URLs in the generateEmailHTML and
generateEmailSubject rows to link to the correct element.
The links current use camelcase but the corresponding element IDs are
lowercase.

### What?
The examples in nestedDocs and formBuilder plugins were referencing the
plugins incorrectly.
### Why?
To prevent confusion for readers.
### How?
Changes to `docs/plugins/form-builder.mdx` and
`docs/plugins/nested-docs.mdx`.
In effort to keep the Examples Directory as easy to navigate as
possible, and to keep the Payload Monorepo only as verbose as it needs
to be, we need to remove all alternatives from the Examples Directory.
This includes setups that interact with Payload from a standalone
server, keeping only the Payload recommended "combined" Next.js +
Payload setups. This will also be applied to all other examples that use
this setup, i.e. draft preview, live preview, etc.
### What?
Fixes a link to the `storage-uploadthing` adapter in Github.
### Why?
To link readers to the correct package location.
### How?
Change to `docs/upload/storage-adapters.mdx`.
Credit to rik in Discord for the catch.
### What?
Adds custom anchor tags to docs where duplicate headings exist.
### Why?
Anchor links would not correctly navigate to the proper point on the
page if there were multiple headings with the same string.
### How?
The website now supports adding custom `#anchor` to a heading in
markdown that will attach to the headings and table of content list
items. This PR adds custom anchors to the docs that have duplicate
headings.
**Example:**
```md
/docs/upload/storage-adapters.mdx
### Usage#vercel-blob-installation
```
Generates the path:
`/docs/upload/storage-adapters#vercel-blob-installation`
### What?
This PR fixes a variety of links around the docs.
### Why?
To link readers to the correct location in the docs
### How?
Changes and fixes to a number of doc links.
- Removes mention of custom providers needing to be client components
- Documents custom field `Filter` components
- Adjusts language and other misc. grammar and spelling
### What?
Fixes links for custom components in a few places in admin docs.
### Why?
To link users to the correct location in the docs.
### How?
Changes to `docs/admin/components.mdx` and
`docs/admin/customizing-css.mdx`
Removes examples that are now duplicative or unnecessary due to new
features in 3.0:
### Custom server
This one can be removed in favor of [Next.js
documentation](https://nextjs.org/docs/pages/building-your-application/configuring/custom-server)
### Hierarchy
The new `join` field can solve for many of the use cases for the
`hierarchy` example. Bi-directional relationships with the `join` field
should be preferred here.
### Nested Docs, Redirects
Our website template showcases how to use the `nested-docs` and
`redirects` plugins in-depth, with real-world examples.
### Virtual Fields
Virtual fields have gotten significantly easier and can now be defined
by specifying `virtual: true`. Not a big need for a full example any
longer.

The Edit and Live Preview views were duplicately making the same Local
API requests for document data. This is because while the top-level
document view handler makes these requests _before_ rendering the Live
Preview view, it wasn't passing it's data through as props. This has
also led to inconsistencies in the options being passed through the
requests themselves, such as `locale`, `user`, and `overrideAccess:
false`. Everything is now standardized as expected through the existing
`getDocumentData` utility.
Custom field description functions were being duplicately called in both
the Client Config and form state. Static field descriptions were also
being rendered in form state unnecessarily. Now, field description
functions are only executed once within form state, and static
descriptions are deferred to the client for rendering.
Supports bi-directional import/export between MDX <=> Lexical. JSX will
be mapped to lexical blocks back and forth.
This will allow editing our mdx docs in payload while keeping mdx as the
source of truth

Documents more breaking changes within the migration guide, improves
overview, reorganizes everything, adds section headings, table of
contents, and more.
With this PR, you can now customize the way that `blocks` and
`inlineBlocks` are rendered within Lexical's `BlocksFeature` by passing
your own React components.
This is super helpful when you need to create "previews" or more
accurate UI for your Lexical blocks.
For example, let's say you have a `gallery` block where your admins
select a bunch of images. By default, Lexical would just render a
collapsible with your block's fields in it. But now you can customize
the `admin.components.Block` property on your `block` config by passing
it a custom React component for us to render instead.
So using that, with this `gallery` example, you could make a dynamic
gallery React component that shows the images to your editors - and then
render our built-in `BlockEditButton` to allow your editors to manage
your gallery in a drawer.
Here is an example where the BlockEditButton is added to the default
Block Collapsible/Header:

Deprecates `getPayloadHMR` and simplifies this pattern into a single
`import { getPayload } from 'payload'`.
We will still retain the exported `getPayloadHMR` but it now will throw
a deprecation warning with instructions for how to migrate.
### 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:

**BREAKING:**
Improves type-safety of collection / global slugs by using `CollectionSlug` / `UploadCollectionSlug` and `GlobalSlug` types instead of `string` in these places:
Adds `UploadCollectionSlug` and `TypedUploadCollection` utility types
This also changes how we suggest to add an upload collection to a cloud-storage adapter:
Before:
```ts
azureStorage({
collections: {
[Media.slug]: true,
},
})
```
After:
```ts
azureStorage({
collections: {
media: true,
},
})
```
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],
},
},
},
})
```
This is a first pass at updating the 3.0 migration guide. While this
makes significant changes and improvements to the guide, it does not
necessarily reflect _all_ of the migration steps needed in their
entirety quite yet. Those will continue to come in.
Key changes:
- Cleans up outdated examples and removes old ones
- Updates code snippets to latest patterns
- Diffs everything for improved readability
This PR fixes and improves a few things around localisation and
fallbackLocale:
- For the REST API `fallbackLocale` and `fallback-locale` are treated
the same for consistency with the Local API
- `fallback: false` in config is now respected, by default results will
not fallback to `defaultLocale` unless this config is true, can also be
overridden by providing an explicit `fallbackLocale` in the request
- locale specific fallbacks will now take priority over `defaultLocale`
unless an explicit fallback is provided
- Fixes types on operations to allow `'none'` as a value for
fallbackLocale
- `fallback` is now true by default if unspecified
