Over the course of v3, we often moved or renamed type definitions, utilities, etc., for reuse throughout our various packages. For backwards compatibility, we continued exporting these resources in place, aliased to their new locations and/or naming conventions.

This PR removes that backwards compatibility, enforcing that all imports point to its canonical source, not the aliased export.

Pass-through re-exports — same name, new source:

Symbol Old source New source
Column @payloadcms/ui payload
ListViewSlots @payloadcms/ui payload
ListViewClientProps @payloadcms/ui payload
EntityType @payloadcms/ui/shared payload/shared
formatAdminURL @payloadcms/ui/shared payload/shared
mergeListSearchAndWhere @payloadcms/ui/shared payload/shared
mergeHeaders @payloadcms/next/utilities payload
headersWithCors @payloadcms/next/utilities payload
createPayloadRequest @payloadcms/next/utilities payload
addDataAndFileToRequest @payloadcms/next/utilities payload
sanitizeLocales @payloadcms/next/utilities payload
addLocalesToRequestFromData @payloadcms/next/utilities payload

Renamed types — use the new canonical name from payload:

Old name New name Source
ListPreferences CollectionPreferences payload
ListComponentClientProps ListViewClientProps payload
ListComponentServerProps ListViewServerProps payload
