minLength and maxLength on textarea field causes payload config validation to fail on startup.

[richardvanbergen]

I hope it's OK to just open issues like this but I think this is a bug so you should hopefully find it useful. 😊

Update (Original below)

Problem is actually down to minLength and maxLength properties on textarea. They don't appear to be expected by whatever code is checking the payload config on startup.

Reproduction steps

1. New project created with yarn create payload-app
2. Create textarea with minLength or maxLength properties.
3. Make sure server isn't running.
4. Start the server and see error.

Expected Behavior

Adding the following config (mostly copied from the documentation) should show a collection with a 'title' and 'description' field.

const Page: CollectionConfig = {
  slug: 'page',
  labels: {
    singular: 'Page',
    plural: 'Pages',
  },
  access: {
    create: () => true,
    read: () => true,
    update: () => true,
    delete: () => true,
  },
  fields: [
    {
      name: 'meta', // required
      type: 'group', // required
      label: 'Page Meta',
      fields: [ // required
        {
          name: 'title',
          type: 'text',
          required: true,
          minLength: 20,
          maxLength: 100,
        },
        {
          name: 'description',
          type: 'textarea',
          required: true,
          minLength: 40,
          maxLength: 160,
        }
      ],
    }
  ]
}

Current Behavior

Payload fails to start at payload configuration step due to schema validation failing.

BUT! (and this is why I think it's a bug)

If you comment out the fields, start the server and then uncomment again then it displays as expected.

Reproduction steps

1. New project created with yarn create payload-app
2. Add pages schema as described above.
3. Make sure server isn't running.
4. Start the server and see error.

Hey @richardvanbergen, we appreciate the bug report! It looks like minLength and maxLength fields are missing as allowed values for textarea. I'll get this fixed 👍

[richardvanbergen]

I was going to open a pull request but you got there first. Well done on the quick response! 😉

Fixed with 2c98087

[denolfe]

Fix pushed in version 0.1.145 and updated create-payload-app's payload version as well.

@richardvanbergen You can either update your package.json version or any new app w/ create-payload-app will have that version 👍
