📦 Installation

Rock your Payload project with a single command:

pnpm add @ai-stack/payloadcms

🛠 Usage

Config with ease:

// Add below in payload.config.ts
import { buildConfig } from 'payload/config';
import { payloadAiPlugin } from '@ai-stack/payloadcms';

export default buildConfig({
  plugins: [
    payloadAiPlugin({
      collections: {
        [Posts.slug]: true,
      },
      debugging: false,
    }),
  ],
  // ... your existing Payload configuration
});


// Add below in Lexical Editor field config
import { PayloadAiPluginLexicalEditorFeature } from '@ai-stack/payloadcms'

fields: [
  {
    name: 'content',
    type: 'richText',
    editor: lexicalEditor({
      features: ({ rootFeatures }) => {
        return [
          // ... your existing features
          PayloadAiPluginLexicalEditorFeature()
        ]
      },
    }),
  },
]

⚙️ Configuration

Choose your AI model by providing one or more of the following environment variables. Create a .env file in your project root and add any of the following variables:

OPENAI_API_KEY=your-openai-api-key
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your-anthropic-api-key
ELEVENLABS_API_KEY=your-elevenlabs-api-key

Enabling AI for Custom Components

⚠️ Note: Custom fields don't fully adhere to the Payload schema, making it difficult to determine which components support injecting ComposeField as a Description. If AI enabled fields don't display Compose settings, please manually add the following component path:

@ai-stack/payloadcms/fields#ComposeField

To view AI enabled fields, enable the debugging flag in your plugin config or check your server startup logs.
