Installation

npx payload-components add team-bios

What it installs

Copies 3 source files into your project:

src/blocks/shared/teamFields.tsshared
src/blocks/TeamBios/config.ts
src/blocks/TeamBios/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`

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

teamFields.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

eyebrow and title come from the shared team base at src/blocks/shared/teamFields.ts, and each member reuses the shared teamMemberFields shape so a person looks the same across every team variant. This block appends a required bio to that shape — the compact team-grid and team-roster layouts have no room to render one, so it stays off their schemas.

Each item in members carries:

Usage

Add the block to a page. In the Payload admin, open (or create) a Page and add the TeamBios 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.

Requirements

Target: payload-website-starter, payload-blocks-app
Payload: v3
Next.js: 15 / 16

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