Fetching Favicon URL from Database for Admin UI

[dense parcel]

I was trying to fetch favicon graphics for the Admin UI but realized I can't use REST or the Local API in payload.config. Anyone ever try getting a favicon url from their database for the admin side?

Hey @elfin inlet,

I imagine this can be done in a number of ways. If I understand you correctly, you want to use a, technically, remote favicon?

If this is the case, then you should upload your favicon to your bucket or storage location then simply grab the url directly to it. That should work for you here.

Beyond just grabbing it manually, I want to be able to change it by creating a favicon field in a global, then calling that field and programmatically returning the (in my case) R2 URL to show it.

I imagine it's possible but not in config

This sounds like something you might need to do with js in a custom component

Which would inject the page with the favicon after a fetch to this global

Assuming you want to do this in the admin, on the frontend it would be probably similar
