Add ability to inject custom API routes into OpenAPI JSON

[VeiaG]

Hi! Thanks for this great plugin — it’s super useful.

I needed to include some custom API routes (outside of Payload , custom Next.js routes) in the generated OpenAPI spec. Since this isn’t currently supported, I forked the repo to add the feature myself: https://github.com/VeiaG/payload-oapi

I’m not very experienced with OpenAPI (used Gemini CLI to add this feature), so the implementation isn’t perfect — but it works for my use case.

I’d really appreciate it if something like this could be added to the official plugin.

Hello @VeiaG, thanks for kicking this off! I imagine that I can backport the changes from your fork at some point 🙂

@janbuchar this is a must have feature
maybe even configuring more than just paths

Thanks for the input @ignissak ! What other features do you have in mind?
