npx payload-components add content-image-leadCopy the files straight from the registry, then wire the Payload fragments by hand:
pnpm dlx shadcn@latest add https://www.payload-components.xyz/r/content-image-lead.jsonWhat it installs
Copies 3 source files into your project:
src/blocks/shared/contentFields.tssharedsrc/blocks/ContentImageLead/config.tssrc/blocks/ContentImageLead/Component.tsx
…and makes 4 edits to wire the block into your project:
| Registers the block | src/collections/Pages/index.ts |
| Maps the renderer | src/blocks/RenderBlocks.tsx |
| Regenerates types | src/payload-types.ts |
| Regenerates the admin import map | src/app/(payload)/admin/importMap.js |
contentFields.ts is the shared field core for this family — every variant composes it. Editing it updates each installed block at once, and re-running an install never overwrites a copy you have changed.Re-running the install converges: it detects existing wiring, skips it, and records install state in .payload-components/state.json.
Content model
The eyebrow, title, and paragraphs fields come from the shared Content family base
(src/blocks/shared/contentFields.ts); the image upload and CTA links are specific to this
variant.

Your project must already expose components.json, src/payload.config.ts, src/blocks/RenderBlocks.tsx, src/collections/Pages/index.ts — the surfaces payload-components add patches. The CLI verifies this against the support matrix before touching anything.
