# Payload Admin Bar

An admin bar for React apps using [Payload](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload).

### Installation

```bash
pnpm i @payloadcms/admin-bar
```

### Basic Usage

```jsx
import { PayloadAdminBar } from '@payloadcms/admin-bar'

export const App = () => {
  return <PayloadAdminBar cmsURL="https://cms.website.com" collection="pages" id="12345" />
}
```

Checks for authentication with Payload CMS by hitting the [`/me`](https://payloadcms.com/docs/authentication/operations#me) route. If authenticated, renders an admin bar with simple controls to do the following:

- Navigate to the admin dashboard
- Navigate to the currently logged-in user's account
- Edit the current collection
- Create a new collection of the same type
- Logout
- Indicate and exit preview mode

The admin bar ships with very little style and is fully customizable.

### Dynamic props

With client-side routing, we need to update the admin bar with a new collection type and document id on each route change. This will depend on your app's specific setup, but here are a some common examples:

#### NextJS

For NextJS apps using dynamic-routes, use `getStaticProps`:

```ts
export const getStaticProps = async ({ params: { slug } }) => {
  const props = {}

  const pageReq = await fetch(
    `https://cms.website.com/api/pages?where[slug][equals]=${slug}&depth=1`,
  )
  const pageData = await pageReq.json()

  if (pageReq.ok) {
    const { docs } = pageData
    const [doc] = docs

    props = {
      ...doc,
      collection: 'pages',
      collectionLabels: {
        singular: 'page',
        plural: 'pages',
      },
    }
  }

  return props
}
```

Now your app can forward these props onto the admin bar. Something like this:

```ts
import { PayloadAdminBar } from '@payloadcms/admin-bar';

export const App = (appProps) => {
  const {
    pageProps: {
      collection,
      collectionLabels,
      id
    }
  } = appProps;

  return (
    <PayloadAdminBar
      {...{
        cmsURL: 'https://cms.website.com',
        collection,
        collectionLabels,
        id
      }}
    />
  )
}
```
