Payload

What is Payload?

Payload is a headless CMS written in TypeScript from the ground up that lives right next to your application code, rather than standing beside it as a separate platform. You define your collections as code, and Payload derives the admin panel as well as a type-safe local API and a REST and GraphQL interface from them. Because configuration and content are type-safe, mistakes surface in the editor long before they reach production. In its current version it integrates directly with Next.js and shares database and deployment with the app, which makes it especially coherent for developer-centric projects.

import { getPayload } from "payload";
import config from "@payload-config";

const payload = await getPayload({ config });

const posts = await payload.find({
    collection: "posts",
    where: { status: { equals: "published" } },
    limit: 10,
});
