Installation

npx payload-components add feature-bento

Copy the files straight from the registry, then wire the Payload fragments by hand:

pnpm dlx shadcn@latest add https://www.payload-components.xyz/r/feature-bento.json

What it installs

Copies 3 source files into your project:

  • src/blocks/shared/featureFields.tsshared
  • src/blocks/FeatureBento/config.ts
  • src/blocks/FeatureBento/Component.tsx

…and makes 4 edits to wire the block into your project:

Registers the blocksrc/collections/Pages/index.ts
Maps the renderersrc/blocks/RenderBlocks.tsx
Regenerates typessrc/payload-types.ts
Regenerates the admin import mapsrc/app/(payload)/admin/importMap.js
featureFields.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 first three fields come from the shared featureFields base; items and links are specific to this variant.

Type

Each item in items carries:

Usage

Add the block to a page. In the Payload admin, open (or create) a Page and add the FeatureBento block to its layout.
Fill the content. Complete the fields from the content model above — the component ships sample content you can start from.
Publish. Save and publish the page; the block renders through RenderBlocks on the frontend, fully typed — no extra wiring.

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.
