Question 1

How do I install Payload bites plugins in my Payload CMS project?

Accepted Answer

Install each plugin package individually via npm (e.g., for image search or audit fields) and configure them in your Payload config. Check the README for specific setup instructions per plugin, as they are modular and separate.

Question 2

Is Payload bites compatible with Payload CMS v2?

Accepted Answer

No, Payload bites is specifically designed for Payload CMS v3, as stated in the description. Using it with v2 would likely cause compatibility issues or require significant modifications.

Question 3

What are the performance impacts of using multiple Payload bites plugins?

Accepted Answer

Each plugin adds some overhead, such as with activity logging or broken link checking, but since they're modular, you can optimize by only enabling necessary ones. However, extensive use might slow down the CMS, especially on resource-constrained deployments.

Question 4

Payload bites vs building custom plugins: which is better for my project?

Accepted Answer

Payload bites saves time with pre-built, tested solutions for common features like audit fields or soft delete. Choose custom plugins if you need unique functionalities or full control over implementation, as Payload bites may not cover all edge cases.

Question 5

How can I customize the audit fields added by Payload bites?

Accepted Answer

The audit fields plugin likely offers configuration options for field names and types; refer to its specific package documentation for details on extending or modifying the default behavior to fit your schema.

Question 6

Does Payload bites support other frameworks besides Astro for richtext rendering?

Accepted Answer

Currently, it only includes an Astro richtext renderer for Lexical content, as per the README. For frameworks like React or Vue, you'd need to build custom renderers or find alternative plugins.
