Cloudflare Delists Perplexity + More Web Dev News

What's up everyone.

Welcome to Next in Dev a podcast where I'll talk about different topics and news all across the web dev industry.

On today's episode, I'm discussing payloads releases, Figma's IPO and Cloudflare’s drama with Perplexity and much more.

Let's start with payload.

Payload had versions 3.49 and 3.49.1 come out just recently, and 3.50 came out shortly afterwards.

Version 3.49 brought support for soft delete, a group by feature in the list view, as well as new cron scheduling features.

soft to delete safely removes documents without removing them entirely immediately.

now you can reverse deletions, whether they were accidental or on purpose.

this version preserves compatibility with drafts, autosave, and version history.

You can enable this by just setting trash to true in your collections.

This will add a deleted at time stamp, as well as a view to your collection that allows you to see the trash, and it gives you a way to query your documents based on their trash status.

Grouping documents is helpful when you want to view all of your documents within a collection by a common theme.

Things like your category.

So if you have a post collection and each post has a category, you're now able to use the group by collection option to group those collection items by that category.

Another example might be if you have authors, you can also see all of your blog authors and their content in one single view in your collection list view.

You can enable this on any collection today by simply adding the group by option to your admin options in your collection and setting it to true.

scheduling jobs adds a new schedule property when you're setting up workflows or task configs now, you can automatically queue up new jobs on a preferred cron schedule and even set it to either be manual or cron.
