How do I use payload-types.ts in my frontend?

I have two separate projects:

- 1. a NextJS frontend project

- 2. a PayloadCMS project

Now, I want to consume my APIs from payload on my NextJS frontend. But I also want to query the API with type-safety. Do I just copy the types from

payload-types.ts

? What's the best way of going about this?

I also wish I knew about this template sooner:

Does this template make you run NextJS and Payload in a monorepo and one express server?

Not sure if it is the
best
way, but copying
payload-types.ts
definitely works. Personally I like to include that step in my build process, that way I can't forget to update the types for a new deployment
