New Features

Exported CheckboxInput Component

The CheckboxInput component is now exported from Payload's core package, allowing developers to import and use it directly in custom UI implementations. This component provides the standard checkbox functionality and styling used throughout Payload's admin interface.

import { CheckboxInput } from 'payload/components';

// Now you can use it in your custom components
const MyCustomComponent = () => {
  return (
    <CheckboxInput 
      label="My Custom Checkbox"
      onChange={(value) => console.log(value)}
      value={true}
    />
  );
};

This addition follows Payload's ongoing effort to expose more internal components for developers to use in custom implementations, enhancing the customization capabilities of the CMS.

Security Updates

No security fixes were included in this release.

Performance Improvements

No specific performance improvements were included in this release.

Impact Summary

This release has minimal impact on existing implementations as it only adds a new export without changing any existing functionality. The primary benefit is for developers building custom UI components who can now use Payload's native CheckboxInput component directly, ensuring consistent styling and behavior with the rest of the admin interface.

For teams heavily invested in custom admin UI development with Payload, this addition provides another building block for creating cohesive user experiences without having to recreate checkbox functionality from scratch.
