## Description
- Adds a new "join" field type to Payload and is supported by all database adapters
- The UI uses a table view for the new field
- `db-mongodb` changes relationships to be stored as ObjectIDs instead of strings (for now querying works using both types internally to the DB so no data migration should be necessary unless you're querying directly, see breaking changes for details
- Adds a reusable traverseFields utility to Payload to make it easier to work with nested fields, used internally and for plugin maintainers
```ts
export const Categories: CollectionConfig = {
slug: 'categories',
fields: [
{
name: 'relatedPosts',
type: 'join',
collection: 'posts',
on: 'category',
}
]
}
```
BREAKING CHANGES:
All mongodb relationship and upload values will be stored as MongoDB ObjectIDs instead of strings going forward. If you have existing data and you are querying data directly, outside of Payload's APIs, you get different results. For example, a `contains` query will no longer works given a partial ID of a relationship since the ObjectID requires the whole identifier to work.

- Abstract shared sql code to a new drizzle package
- Adds sqlite package, not ready to publish until drizzle patches some
issues
- Add `transactionOptions` to allow customizing or disabling db
transactions
- Adds "experimental" label to the `schemaName` property until drizzle
patches an issue
- 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!
