GraphQL currently doesn't pass CORS checks as we don't expose an OPTIONS endpoint which is used for browser preflights. Should also fix situations like this https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/8974

Re-branding walkthrough
Start by navigating to the payload.config.ts file and then take a look at the admin property.
The following sub-properties have already been configured:
favicon: Image that will be displayed as the tab icon.
ogImage: Image that will appear in the preview when you share links to your admin panel online and through social media.
titleSuffix: Text that appends the meta/page title displayed in the browser tab — must be a string.
graphics.Logo: Image component to be displayed as the logo on the Sign Up / Login view.
graphics.Icon: Image component displayed above the Nav in the admin panel, often a condensed version of a full logo.

Development
To spin up this example locally, follow the Quick Start.
Seed
On boot, a seed script is included to create a user.
Production
To run Payload in production, you need to build and serve the Admin panel. To do so, follow these steps:
- First invoke the
payload buildscript by runningyarn buildornpm run buildin your project root. This creates a./builddirectory with a production-ready admin bundle. - Then run
yarn serveornpm run serveto run Node in production and serve Payload from the./builddirectory.
Deployment
The easiest way to deploy your project is to use Payload Cloud, a one-click hosting solution to deploy production-ready instances of your Payload apps directly from your GitHub repo. You can also deploy your app manually, check out the deployment documentation for full details.
