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.
The form component's `initializing` and `processing` states do not
disable fields that are rendered outside of `DocumentFields`. Fields
currently rely on the `readOnly` prop provided by `DocumentFields` and
do not subscribe to these states for themselves. This means that fields
that are rendered outright, such as within the bulk edit drawer, they do
not receive a `readOnly` prop and are therefore never disabled.
The fix is add a `disabled` property to the `useField` hook. This
subscribes to the `initializing` and `processing` states in the same way
as `DocumentFields`, however, now each field can determine its own
disabled state instead of relying solely on the `readOnly` prop. Adding
this new prop has no overhead as `processing` and `initializing` is
already being subscribed to within `useField`.
### What?
Supersedes https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/pull/11490.
Refactors imports of `formatAdminURL` to import from `payload/shared`
instead of `@payloadcms/ui/shared`. The ui package now imports and
re-exports the function to prevent this from being a breaking change.
### Why?
This makes it easier for other packages/plugins to consume the
`formatAdminURL` function instead of needing to implement their own or
rely on the ui package for the utility.
When rendering a list drawer, you can pass a custom `onSelect` callback
to execute when the user clicks on the linked cell within the table. The
underlying handler, however, only passes the `docID` and
`collectionSlug` args through the callback, rather than the document
itself. This makes it impossible to perform side-effects that require
the data of the row that was selected.
Instances of this callback were also largely untyped.
Needed for #11330.
The `localized` properly was not stripped out of referenced block fields, if any parent was localized. For normal fields, this is done in sanitizeConfig. As the same referenced block config can be used in both a localized and non-localized config, we are not able to strip it out inside sanitizeConfig by modifying the block config.
Instead, this PR had to bring back tedious logic to handle it everywhere the `field.localized` property is accessed. For backwards-compatibility, we need to keep the existing sanitizeConfig logic. In 4.0, we should remove it to benefit from better test coverage of runtime field.localized handling - for now, this is done for our test suite using the `PAYLOAD_DO_NOT_SANITIZE_LOCALIZED_PROPERTY` flag.
If you have multiple blocks that are used in multiple places, this can quickly blow up the size of your Payload Config. This will incur a performance hit, as more data is
1. sent to the client (=> bloated `ClientConfig` and large initial html) and
2. processed on the server (permissions are calculated every single time you navigate to a page - this iterates through all blocks you have defined, even if they're duplicative)
This can be optimized by defining your block **once** in your Payload Config, and just referencing the block slug whenever it's used, instead of passing the entire block config. To do this, the block can be defined in the `blocks` array of the Payload Config. The slug can then be passed to the `blockReferences` array in the Blocks Field - the `blocks` array has to be empty for compatibility reasons.
```ts
import { buildConfig } from 'payload'
import { lexicalEditor, BlocksFeature } from '@payloadcms/richtext-lexical'
// Payload Config
const config = buildConfig({
// Define the block once
blocks: [
{
slug: 'TextBlock',
fields: [
{
name: 'text',
type: 'text',
},
],
},
],
collections: [
{
slug: 'collection1',
fields: [
{
name: 'content',
type: 'blocks',
// Reference the block by slug
blockReferences: ['TextBlock'],
blocks: [], // Required to be empty, for compatibility reasons
},
],
},
{
slug: 'collection2',
fields: [
{
name: 'editor',
type: 'richText',
editor: lexicalEditor({
BlocksFeature({
// Same reference can be reused anywhere, even in the lexical editor, without incurred performance hit
blocks: ['TextBlock'],
})
})
},
],
},
],
})
```
## v4.0 Plans
In 4.0, we will remove the `blockReferences` property, and allow string block references to be passed directly to the blocks `property`. Essentially, we'd remove the `blocks` property and rename `blockReferences` to `blocks`.
The reason we opted to a new property in this PR is to avoid breaking changes. Allowing strings to be passed to the `blocks` property will prevent plugins that iterate through fields / blocks from compiling.
## PR Changes
- Testing: This PR introduces a plugin that automatically converts blocks to block references. This is done in the fields__blocks test suite, to run our existing test suite using block references.
- Block References support: Most changes are similar. Everywhere we iterate through blocks, we have to now do the following:
1. Check if `field.blockReferences` is provided. If so, only iterate through that.
2. Check if the block is an object (= actual block), or string
3. If it's a string, pull the actual block from the Payload Config or from `payload.blocks`.
The exception is config sanitization and block type generations. This PR optimizes them so that each block is only handled once, instead of every time the block is referenced.
## Benchmarks
60 Block fields, each block field having the same 600 Blocks.

## Future Plans
1. This PR does not yet deduplicate block references during permissions calculation. We'll optimize that in a separate PR, as this one is already large enough
2. The same optimization can be done to deduplicate fields. One common use-case would be link field groups that may be referenced in multiple entities, outside of blocks. We might explore adding a new `fieldReferences` property, that allows you to reference those same `config.blocks`.
Due to nature of server-side rendering, navigation within the admin
panel can lead to slow page response times. This can lead to the feeling
of an unresponsive app after clicking a link, for example, where the
page remains in a stale state while the server is processing. This is
especially noticeable on slow networks when navigating to data heavy or
process intensive pages.
To alleviate the bad UX that this causes, the user needs immediate
visual indication that _something_ is taking place. This PR renders a
progress bar in the admin panel which is immediately displayed when a
user clicks a link, and incrementally grows in size until the new route
has loaded in.
Inspired by https://github.com/vercel/react-transition-progress.
Old:
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/1820dad1-3aea-417f-a61d-52244b12dc8d
New:
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/99f4bb82-61d9-4a4c-9bdf-9e379bbafd31
To tie into the progress bar, you'll need to use Payload's new `Link`
component instead of the one provided by Next.js:
```diff
- import { Link } from 'next/link'
+ import { Link } from '@payloadcms/ui'
```
Here's an example:
```tsx
import { Link } from '@payloadcms/ui'
const MyComponent = () => {
return (
<Link href="/somewhere">
Go Somewhere
</Link>
)
}
```
In order to trigger route transitions for a direct router event such as
`router.push`, you'll need to wrap your function calls with the
`startRouteTransition` method provided by the `useRouteTransition` hook.
```ts
'use client'
import React, { useCallback } from 'react'
import { useTransition } from '@payloadcms/ui'
import { useRouter } from 'next/navigation'
const MyComponent: React.FC = () => {
const router = useRouter()
const { startRouteTransition } = useRouteTransition()
const redirectSomewhere = useCallback(() => {
startRouteTransition(() => router.push('/somewhere'))
}, [startRouteTransition, router])
// ...
}
```
In the future [Next.js might provide native support for
this](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/discussions/41934#discussioncomment-12077414),
and if it does, this implementation can likely be simplified.
Of course there are other ways of achieving this, such as with
[Suspense](https://react.dev/reference/react/Suspense), but they all
come with a different set of caveats. For example with Suspense, you
must provide a fallback component. This means that the user might be
able to immediately navigate to the new page, which is good, but they'd
be presented with a skeleton UI while the other parts of the page stream
in. Not necessarily an improvement to UX as there would be multiple
loading states with this approach.
There are other problems with using Suspense as well. Our default
template, for example, contains the app header and sidebar which are not
rendered within the root layout. This means that they need to stream in
every single time. On fast networks, this would also lead to a
noticeable "blink" unless there is some mechanism by which we can detect
and defer the fallback from ever rendering in such cases. Might still be
worth exploring in the future though.
Previously, we were unnecessarily passing the `ClientCollectionConfig`
down from the Table to the Client, even though the client cell
components could simply access it via the `useConfig` hook. This
resulted in redundant data being sent to the client for every single
table cell. Additionally, we were performing a deep copy of the
`ClientCollectionConfig`, which wasted both memory and CPU resources on
the server.

To reproduce the bug:
1. Within a Lexical editor, insert a relationship field.
2. In the drawer, change the selected collection.
3. The table below changes correctly, but the title and the "create new"
button quickly revert to the original option.

### What?

Fixes #
-->
Currently, custom components do not respect `admin.condition` unless
manually wrapped with the `withCondition` HOC, like all default fields
currently do. This should not be a requirement of component authors.
Instead, we can automatically detect custom client and server fields and
wrap them with the underlying `WatchCondition` component which will
subscribe to the `passesCondition` property within client-side form
state.
For my future self: there are potentially multiple instances where
fields subscribe to conditions duplicately, such as when rendering a
default Payload field within a custom field component. This was always a
problem and it is non-breaking, but needs to be reevaluated and removed
in the future for performance. Only the default fields that Payload
renders client-side need to subscribe to field conditions in this way.
When importing a Payload field into your custom field component, for
example, it should not include the HOC, because custom components now
watch conditions themselves.
If you had a lot of fields and collections, createClientConfig would be
extremely slow, as it was copying a lot of memory. In my test config
with a lot of fields and collections, it took 4 seconds(!!).
And not only that, it also ran between every single page navigation.
This PR significantly speeds up the createClientConfig function. In my
test config, its execution speed went from 4 seconds to 50 ms.
Additionally, createClientConfig is now properly cached in both dev &
prod. It no longer runs between every single page navigation. Even if
you trigger a full page reload, createClientConfig will be cached and
not run again. Despite that, HMR remains fully-functional.
This will make payload feel noticeably faster for large configs -
especially if it contains a lot of richtext fields, as it was previously
deep-copying the relatively large richText editor configs over and over
again.
## Before - 40 sec navigation speed

## After - 1 sec navigation speed

## Todo
- [x] Implement ClientSchemaMap and cache it, to remove
createClientField call in our form state endpoint
- [x] Enable schemaMap caching for dev
- [x] Cache lexical clientField generation, or add it to the parent
clientConfig
## Lexical changes
Red: old / removed
Green: new
### Speed up version queries
This PR comes with performance optimizations for fetching versions
before a document is loaded. Not only does it use the new select API to
limit the fields it queries, it also completely skips a database query
if the current document is published.
### Speed up lexical init
Removes a bunch of unnecessary deep copying of lexical objects which
caused higher memory usage and slower load times. Additionally, the
lexical default config sanitization now happens less often.
The biggest difference comes from calling `RenderServerComponent` as a
function, instead of rendering it by using `<RenderServerComponent`.
This gets rid of wasteful blocks of codes sent to the client that look
like this:
HTML size comparison:
## Admin test suite

| Dashboard | 331 kB | 83 kB |
| collections/custom-views-one Edit | 285 kB | 76.6 kB |
## Fields test suite

Optimizes initial page responses by removing unnecessary inline field
styles that were being sent through the HTML response. The Client Config
contains a large number of duplicates of the string:
`"style\":{\"flex\":\"1 1 auto\"}`, one for every single field within
the entirely of the config. This leads to hundreds or potentially
thousands of instances of this same string, depending on the number of
fields within the config itself. This is regardless of custom field
widths being defined. Instead, we can do this entirely client-side,
preventing this string from ever being transmitted over the network in
the first place.
## Breaking Changes
This only effects those who are importing Payload's field components
into your own Custom Components or front-end application. The `width`
prop no longer exists. It has been consolidated into the existing
`style` prop. To migrate, simply move this prop as follows:
```diff
import { TextInput } from '@payloadcms/ui
export const MyCustomComponent = () => {
return (
<TextInput
- width="60%"
style={{
+ width: "60%,
}}
/>
)
}
```
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

Protects the `/api/access` endpoint behind authentication and sanitizes
the result, making it more secure and significantly smaller. To do this:
1. The `permission` keyword is completely omitted from the result
2. Only _truthy_ access results are returned
3. All nested permissions are consolidated when possible

### What?
Ensures `path` is required and only present on the fields that expect it
(all fields except row).
Deprecates `useFieldComponents` and `FieldComponentsProvider` and
instead extends the RenderField component to account for all field
types. This also improves type safety within `RenderField`.
### Why?
`path` being optional just adds DX overhead and annoyance.
### How?
Added `FieldPaths` type which is added to iterable field types. Placed
`path` back onto the ClientFieldBase type.
### What?
Removes abort controllers that were shared globally inside the server
actions provider.
### Why?
Constructing them in this way will cause different fetches using the
same function to cancel one another accidentally.
These are currently causing issues when two components call server
functions, even different functions, because the global ref inside was
being overwritten and aborting the previous one.
### How?
Standardizes how we construct and destroy abort controllers. This PR is focused around creating them to pass into the exposed serverAction provider functions. There are other places where this pattern can be applied.
This fixes a peer dependency error in our monorepo, as
eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y finally supports eslint v9.
Additionally, this officially adds TypeScript 5.6 support for
typescript-eslint.
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.

### What?
Adds `populate` property to Local API and REST API operations that can
be used to specify `select` for a specific collection when it's
populated
```ts
const result = await payload.findByID({
populate: {
// type safe if you have generated types
posts: {
text: true,
},
},
collection: 'pages',
depth: 1,
id: aboutPage.id,
})
result.relatedPost // only has text and id properties
```
```ts
fetch('https://localhost:3000/api/pages?populate[posts][text]=true') // highlight-line
.then((res) => res.json())
.then((data) => console.log(data))
```
It also overrides
[`defaultPopulate`](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/pull/8934)
Ensures `defaultPopulate` doesn't affect GraphQL.
### How?
Implements the property for all operations that have the `depth`
argument.
### What?
Adds `defaultPopulate` property to collection config that allows to
specify which fields to select when the collection is populated from
another document.
```ts
import type { CollectionConfig } from 'payload'
// The TSlug generic can be passed to have type safety for `defaultPopulate`.
// If avoided, the `defaultPopulate` type resolves to `SelectType`.
export const Pages: CollectionConfig<'pages'> = {
slug: 'pages',
// I need only slug, NOT the WHOLE CONTENT!
defaultPopulate: {
slug: true,
},
fields: [
{
name: 'slug',
type: 'text',
required: true,
},
],
}
```
### Why?
This is essential for example in case of links. You don't need the whole
document, which can contain large data but only the `slug`.
### How?
Implements `defaultPopulate` when populating relationships, including
inside of lexical / slate rich text fields.
I'm extending the Slate editor with a custom component and everything
works great, except I have to import `useElement()` like this:
```tsx
import { useElement } from 'node_modules/.pnpm/@payloadcms+richtext-slate@3.0.0-beta.113_monaco-editor@0.51.0_next@15.0.0-canary.191_@babel+_qmdxs6s5hpzjhuopohgawpvl6i/node_modules/@payloadcms/richtext-slate/dist/field/providers/ElementProvider.js'
export function Element() {
const { attributes, children } = useElement()
return (
<p {...attributes} className="rich-text-preheading">
{children}
</p>
)
}
```
That's because it's not in the `@payloadcms/richtext-slate/client`
module. This PR fixes this and would allow me to do:
```tsx
import { useElement } from '@payloadcms/richtext-slate/client'
```
All payload css is now encapsulated inside CSS layers under `@layer
payload-default`
Any custom css will now have the highest possible specificity.
We have also provided a new layer `@layer payload` if you want to use
layers and ensure that your styles are applied after payload.
To override existing styles in a way that the existing rules of
specificity would be respected you can use the default layer like so
```css
@layer payload-default {
// my styles within the payload specificity
}
```
## Description
Adds a new property to `collection` / `global` configs called
`lockDocuments`.
Set to `true` by default - the lock is automatically triggered when a
user begins editing a document within the Admin Panel and remains in
place until the user exits the editing view or the lock expires due to
inactivity.
Set to `false` to disable document locking entirely - i.e.
`lockDocuments: false`
You can pass an object to this property to configure the `duration` in
seconds, which defines how long the document remains locked without user
interaction. If no edits are made within the specified time (default:
300 seconds), the lock expires, allowing other users to edit / update or
delete the document.
```
lockDocuments: {
duration: 180, // 180 seconds or 3 minutes
}
```

Although the `<FieldLabel />` component receives a `field` prop, it does
not use this prop to extract the `label` from the field. This is
currently only an issue when rendering this component directly, such as
within `admin.components.Label`. The label simply won't appear unless
explicitly provided, despite it being passed as `field.label`. This is
not an issue when rendering field components themselves, because they
properly thread this value through as a top-level prop.
Here's an example of the issue:
```tsx
import type { TextFieldLabelServerComponent } from 'payload'
import { FieldLabel } from '@payloadcms/ui'
import React from 'react'
export const MyCustomLabelComponent: TextFieldLabelServerComponent = ({ clientField }) => {
return (
<FieldLabel
field={clientField}
label={clientField.label} // this should not be needed!
/>
)
}
```
Here is the end result:
```tsx
import type { TextFieldLabelServerComponent } from 'payload'
import { FieldLabel } from '@payloadcms/ui'
import React from 'react'
export const MyCustomLabelComponent: TextFieldLabelServerComponent = ({ clientField }) => {
return <FieldLabel field={clientField} />
}
```
## Description
Currently, there is no way of typing custom server field components.
This is because internally, all field components are client components,
and so these were never fully typed. For example, the docs currently
indicate for all custom fields to be typed in this way:
Old:
```tsx
export const MyClientTextFieldComponent: React.FC<TextFieldProps>
```
But if your component is a server component, you will never receive the
fully typed `field` prop, `payload` prop, etc. unless you've typed that
yourself using some of the underlying utilities. So to fix this, every
field now explicitly exports a type for each environment:
New:
- Client component:
```tsx
'use client'
export const MyClientTextFieldComponent: TextFieldClientComponent
```
- Server component:
```tsx
export const MyServerTextFieldComponent: TextFieldServerComponent
```
This pattern applies to every field type, where the field name is
prepended onto the component type.
```ts
import type {
TextFieldClientComponent,
TextFieldServerComponent,
TextFieldClientProps,
TextFieldServerProps,
TextareaFieldClientComponent,
TextareaFieldServerComponent,
TextareaFieldClientProps,
TextareaFieldServerProps,
// ...and so on for each field type
} from 'payload'
```
## BREAKING CHANGES
We are no longer exporting `TextFieldProps` etc. for each field type.
Instead, we now export props for each client/server environment
explicitly. If you were previously importing one of these types into
your custom component, simply change the import name to reflect your
environment.
Old:
```tsx
import type { TextFieldProps } from 'payload'
```
New:
```tsx
import type { TextFieldClientProps, TextFieldServerProps } from 'payload'
```

## Description
Payload localization works on a field-by-field basis. As you can nest
fields within other fields, you could potentially nest a localized field
within a localized field—but this would be redundant and unnecessary.
There would be no reason to define a localized field within a localized
parent field, given that the entire data structure from the parent field
onward would be localized.
Up until this point, Payload would _allow_ you to nest a localized field
within another localized field, and this might have worked in MongoDB
but it will throw errors in Postgres.
Now, Payload will automatically remove the `localized: true` property
from sub-fields within `sanitizeFields` if a parent field is localized.
This could potentially be a breaking change if you have a configuration
with MongoDB that nests localized fields within localized fields.
## Migrating
You probably only need to migrate if you are using MongoDB, as there,
you may not have noticed any problems. But in Postgres or SQLite, this
would have caused issues so it's unlikely that you've made it too far
without experiencing issues due to a nested localized fields config.
In the event you would like to keep existing data in this fashion, we
have added a `compatibility.allowLocalizedWithinLocalized` flag to the
Payload config, which you can set to `true`, and Payload will then
disable this new sanitization step.
Set this compatibility flag to `true` only if you have an existing
Payload MongoDB database from pre-3.0, and you have nested localized
fields that you would like to maintain without migrating.

## Description
Threads the field config to all "field subcomponents" through props,
i.e. field label, description, error, etc. This way, the field config
that controls any particular component is easily accessible and strongly
typed, i.e. `props.field.maxLength`. This is true for both server and
client components, whose server-side props are now also contextually
typed. This behavior was temporarily removed in #7474 due to bloating
HTML, but has since been resolved in #7620. This PR also makes
significant improvements to component types by exporting explicit types
for _every component of every field_, each with its own client/server
variation. Now, a custom component can look something like this:
```tsx
import type { TextFieldLabelServerComponent } from 'payload'
import React from 'react'
export const CustomLabel: TextFieldLabelServerComponent = (props) => {
return (
<div>{`The max length of this field is: ${props?.field?.maxLength}`}</div>
)
}
```
The following types are now available:
```ts
import type {
TextFieldClientComponent,
TextFieldServerComponent,
TextFieldLabelClientComponent,
TextFieldLabelServerComponent,
TextFieldDescriptionClientComponent,
TextFieldDescriptionServerComponent,
TextFieldErrorClientComponent,
TextFieldErrorServerComponent,
// ...and so one for each field
} from 'payload'
```
BREAKING CHANGES:
In order to strictly type these components, a few breaking changes have
been made _solely to type definitions_. This only effects you if you are
heavily using custom components.
Old
```ts
import type { ErrorComponent, LabelComponent, DescriptionComponent } from 'payload'
```
New:
```ts
import type {
FieldErrorClientComponent,
FieldErrorServerComponent,
FieldLabelClientComponent,
FieldLabelServerComponent,
FieldDescriptionClientComponent,
FieldDescriptionServerComponent,
// Note: these are the generic, underlying types of the more stricter types described above ^
// For example, you should use the type that is explicit for your particular field and environment
// i.e. `TextFieldLabelClientComponent` and not simply `FieldLabelClientComponent`
} from 'payload'
```

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`
