Vite Plugin Vinext Payload
JSON →Vite plugin for running Payload CMS (v3.82+) on Cloudflare Workers via vinext, a Vite-based Next.js reimplementation. Current version 0.0.19, experimental. Provides two modes: payloadPlugin() for full Payload with admin UI and REST/GraphQL (requires vinext), and payloadWorkerPlugin() for headless Payload exposing Local API via WorkerEntrypoint RPC (no admin UI, works with any Vite frontend). Key differentiator: enables Payload deployments on Cloudflare Workers with RSC support, reducing cold starts and edge latency. Requires Node >=24, Vite ^8.0.0 (Rolldown). Peer deps pinned to validated stack (Payload 3.84.1, vinext 0.0.50). Includes migration tooling from Next.js and Cloudflare D1 support. Actively developed by Block65.
