Before this PR all .md files were targeted by the `.ignore` file, which
has bitten me on a number of occasions since .md files often contain
valuable information (e.g. the vscode extensions docs). This PR
unignores .md files while still ignoring _generated_ .md files like our
changelogs, the api-report files, and the generated docs sections.
Additionally, the `yarn format` and `yarn lint` commands were configured
slightly differently, which was confusing, so I've unified those and
simplified the lint.ts script at the same time.

### Release Notes
- The `@tldraw/tldraw` package has been renamed to `tldraw`. You can
keep using the old version if you want though!
This PR refactors our menu systems and provides an interface to hide or
replace individual user interface elements.
# Background
Previously, we've had two types of overrides:
- "schema" overrides that would allow insertion or replacement of items
in the different menus
- "component" overrides that would replace components in the editor's
user interface
This PR is an attempt to unify the two and to provide for additional
cases where the "schema-based" user interface had begun to break down.
# Approach
This PR makes no attempt to change the `actions` or `tools`
overrides—the current system seems to be correct for those because they
are not reactive. The challenge with the other ui schemas is that they
_are_ reactive, and thus the overrides both need to a) be fed in from
outside of the editor as props, and b) react to changes from the editor,
which is an impossible situation.
The new approach is to use React to declare menu items. (Surprise!)
```tsx
function CustomHelpMenuContent() {
return (
<>
<DefaultHelpMenuContent />
<TldrawUiMenuGroup id="custom stuff">
<TldrawUiMenuItem
id="about"
label="Like my posts"
icon="external-link"
readonlyOk
onSelect={() => {
window.open('https://x.com/tldraw', '_blank')
}}
/>
</TldrawUiMenuGroup>
</>
)
}
const components: TLComponents = {
HelpMenuContent: CustomHelpMenuContent,
}
export default function CustomHelpMenuContentExample() {
return (
<div className="tldraw__editor">
<Tldraw components={components} />
</div>
)
}
```
We use a `components` prop with the combined editor and ui components.
- [ ] Create a "layout" component?
- [ ] Make UI components more isolated? If possible, they shouldn't
depend on styles outside of themselves, so that they can be used in
other layouts. Maybe we wait on this because I'm feeling a slippery
slope toward presumptions about configurability.
- [ ] OTOH maybe we go hard and consider these things as separate
components, even packages, with their own interfaces for customizability
/ configurability, just go all the way with it, and see what that looks
like.
# Pros
Top line: you can customize tldraw's user interface in a MUCH more
granular / powerful way than before.
It solves a case where menu items could not be made stateful from
outside of the editor context, and provides the option to do things in
the menus that we couldn't allow previously with the "schema-based"
approach.
It also may (who knows) be more performant because we can locate the
state inside of the components for individual buttons and groups,
instead of all at the top level above the "schema". Because items /
groups decide their own state, we don't have to have big checks on how
many items are selected, or whether we have a flippable state. Items and
groups themselves are allowed to re-build as part of the regular React
lifecycle. Menus aren't constantly being rebuilt, if that were ever an
issue.
Menu items can be shared between different menu types. We'll are
sometimes able to re-use items between, for example, the menu and the
context menu and the actions menu.
Our overrides no longer mutate anything, so there's less weird searching
and finding.
# Cons
This approach can make customization menu contents significantly more
complex, as an end user would need to re-declare most of a menu in order
to make any change to it. Luckily a user can add things to the top or
bottom of the context menu fairly easily. (And who knows, folks may
actually want to do deep customization, and this allows for it.)
It's more code. We are shipping more react components, basically one for
each menu item / group.
Currently this PR does not export the subcomponents, i.e. menu items. If
we do want to export these, then heaven help us, it's going to be a
_lot_ of exports.

This PR adds the docs app back into the tldraw monorepo.
## Deploying
We'll want to update our deploy script to update the SOURCE_SHA to the
newest release sha... and then deploy the docs pulling api.json files
from that release. We _could_ update the docs on every push to main, but
we don't have to unless something has changed. Right now there's no
automated deployments from this repo.
## Side effects
To make this one work, I needed to update the lock file. This might be
ok (new year new lock file), and everything builds as expected, though
we may want to spend some time with our scripts to be sure that things
are all good.
I also updated our prettier installation, which decided to add trailing
commas to every generic type. Which is, I suppose, [correct
behavior](https://github.com/prettier/prettier-vscode/issues/955)? But
that caused diffs in every file, which is unfortunate.
### Change Type
- [x] `internal` — Any other changes that don't affect the published
package[^2]
This PR changes the structure of the docs site's sidebar.
I think this signposts more clearly what the different pages are for.
And it also paves the way for some work I want to do on
expanding+refining the Editor docs.
This PR also simplifies URL for all sidebar links.
It's a bit scrappy, but I think it feels simple enough to work with, and
easy-enough to change in the future.
> But hey! I've been doing this a couple times recently. Maybe we should
refactor? Or maybe we should keep going with what we've got and focus on
getting these docs *done*.
### Change Type
- [x] `documentation` — Changes to the documentation only[^2]
[^1]: publishes a `patch` release, for devDependencies use `internal`
[^2]: will not publish a new version
### Test Plan
1. Check that all the sidebar links go to where you expect.
2. Check that old URLs redirect to the right pages, eg: `/docs/usage`
should go to the usage page.
### Release Notes
- Documentation: Restructured the sidebar for clarity.
This PR tightens up the wording of the Usage docs page, and it
restructures it slightly.
See my comments in the code for more info.
### Change Type

This PR improves the ergonomics of `ShapeUtil` classes.
### Cached methods
First, I've remove the cached methods (such as `bounds`) from the
`ShapeUtil` class and lifted this to the `Editor` class.
Previously, calling `ShapeUtil.getBounds` would return the un-cached
bounds of a shape, while calling `ShapeUtil.bounds` would return the
cached bounds of a shape. We also had `Editor.getBounds`, which would
call `ShapeUtil.bounds`. It was confusing. The cached methods like
`outline` were also marked with "please don't override", which suggested
the architecture was just wrong.
The only weirdness from this is that utils sometimes reach out to the
editor for cached versions of data rather than calling their own cached
methods. It's still an easier story to tell than what we had before.
### More defaults
We now have three and only three `abstract` methods for a `ShapeUtil`:
- `getDefaultProps` (renamed from `defaultProps`)
- `getBounds`,
- `component`
- `indicator`
Previously, we also had `getCenter` as an abstract method, though this
was usually just the middle of the bounds anyway.
### Editing bounds
This PR removes the concept of editingBounds. The viewport will no
longer animate to editing shapes.
### Active area manager
This PR also removes the active area manager, which was not being used
in the way we expected it to be.
### Dpr manager
This PR removes the dpr manager and uses a hook instead to update it
from React. This is one less runtime browser dependency in the app, one
less thing to document.
### Moving things around
This PR also continues to try to organize related methods and properties
in the editor.
### Change Type
- [x] `major` — Breaking change
### Release Notes
- [editor] renames `defaultProps` to `getDefaultProps`
- [editor] removes `outline`, `outlineSegments`, `handles`, `bounds`
- [editor] renames `renderBackground` to `backgroundComponent`
This PR introduces `@tldraw/tldraw/tldraw.css`, an exported CSS file
that replaces the `editor.css` and `ui.css` that were previously copied
from the editor and ui packages. Instead, these files are combined into
the `tldraw.css` file, simplifying the import story when using
`@tldraw/tldraw`.
### Change Type
- [x] `major` — Breaking change
### Release Notes
- [tldraw] Removes `editor.css` and `ui.css` exports, replaces with
`tldraw.css`
This PR improves the author experience when working on the docs site.
When running `docs-dev`, the site's content will now update whenever a
content file is changed.
### Context
In the docs project, we generate content from two sources: from API
documentation generated by api-extractor and from markdown files in the
docs/content folder. Generating API docs is a relatively slow process
because it involves building and parsing TypeScript declaration files
for each package in the monorepo; however, generating docs from the
markdown files is basically instantaneous. The same script used to
address both tasks, which meant it was too slow to run on each save.
Instead, the script needed to be run manually or the dev server would
need to be restarted.
We now split the generation into two separate scripts. First, the script
runs to generate the API content; and then a second script runs to
generate the markdown content. The second script also imports and
combines the two sources of content. When we build the docs, both
scripts are run. When a markdown file changes, the new watcher only runs
the second script. This allows the site's content to be updated quickly
without having to generate the API docs each time.
Note that this does not incorporate live changes to package APIs, though
I can't think of a time where we be developing the docs and the APIs at
the same time.

### Test Plan
1. Check that there's an Editor page in the docs sidebar.
- [ ] Unit Tests
- [ ] End to end tests
### Release Notes
- [docs] Updated 'App' to 'Editor'.
This PR does the following:
- Add `selfHosted.js`, which is a great option for users that wish to
self host the assets. Works well for both self hosting from the public
folder or via a CDN.
- Updates the docs for assets. We now have a dedicated page for assets
where all the options are more clearly explained. I also removed the
assets explanation from the main docs as the unpkg option should work
out of the box and setting up the assets is no longer necessary.
- Cleaned up the `refresh-assets` script. We now use common `types.d.ts`
file to define our types. All the other options then reuse them.
- Pulled out the `formatAssetUrl` into it's own file. It's now static an
no longer generated.
- `urls.d.ts`, `import.d.ts`, and newly added `selfhosted.d.ts` are now
also no longer generated as we can import the types from `types.d.ts`.
- You can now pass a subset of `assetUrls` to `<Tldraw />` and it will
override the default option with the passed in overrides. This makes it
easy to only customizes certain assets (only change the draw font as an
example).
### Change Type
- [x] `patch` — Bug Fix
Use unpkg to host our assets and use that as a default. This will smooth
out the first run experience.
The way this works for different use cases:
- It doesn't change the asset loading for VS Code extension and
tldraw.com
- When running our examples (and our local development) [we still
override the
urls](4a9ef5044c/apps/examples/src/index.tsx (L32-L34))
to use the assets from the filesystem. This allows the assets to still
update when you change them.
- When you use our `Tldraw` component and when just copying the examples
code we will now serve the assets from unpkg by default.
I guess it's a breaking change since we will now use unpkg by default.
### Change Type
- [x] `major` — Breaking Change
### Release Notes
- Use unpkg asset hosting as a default.
This PR updates the docs examples links to point to the examples folder.
### Change Type

### Change Type
- [x] `major` — Breaking Change
### Release Notes
- Rename `App` to `Editor` and many other things that reference `app` to
`editor`.
This PR replaces our `console.log` with `nicelog` so that I can more
easily grep for errant console.logs.
### Change Type
- [x] `internal` — Any other changes that don't affect the published
package (will not publish a new version)
This PR updates our user-facing APIs for the Tldraw and TldrawEditor
components, as well as the Editor (App). It mainly incorporates surface
changes from #1450 without any changes to validators or migrators,
incorporating feedback / discussion with @SomeHats and @ds300.
Here we:
- remove the TldrawEditorConfig
- bring back a loose version of shape definitions
- make a separation between "core" shapes and "default" shapes
- do not allow custom shapes, migrators or validators to overwrite core
shapes
- but _do_ allow new shapes
## `<Tldraw>` component
In this PR, the `Tldraw` component wraps both the `TldrawEditor`
component and our `TldrawUi` component. It accepts a union of props for
both components. Previously, this component also added local syncing via
a `useLocalSyncClient` hook call, however that has been pushed down to
the `TldrawEditor` component.
## `<TldrawEditor>` component
The `TldrawEditor` component now more neatly wraps up the different ways
that the editor can be configured.
## The store prop (`TldrawEditorProps.store`)
There are three main ways for the `TldrawEditor` component to be run:
1. with an externally defined store
2. with an externally defined syncing store (local or remote)
3. with an internally defined store
4. with an internally defined locally syncing store
The `store` prop allows for these configurations.
If the `store` prop is defined, it may be defined either as a `TLStore`
or as a `SyncedStore`. If the store is a `TLStore`, then the Editor will
assume that the store is ready to go; if it is defined as a SyncedStore,
then the component will display the loading / error screens as needed,
or the final editor once the store's status is "synced".
When the store is left undefined, then the `TldrawEditor` will create
its own internal store using the optional `instanceId`, `initialData`,
or `shapes` props to define the store / store schema.
If the `persistenceKey` prop is left undefined, then the store will not
be synced. If the `persistenceKey` is defined, then the store will be
synced locally. In the future, we may also here accept the API key /
roomId / etc for creating a remotely synced store.
The `SyncedStore` type has been expanded to also include types used for
remote syncing, e.g. with `ConnectionStatus`.
## Tools
By default, the App has two "baked-in" tools: the select tool and the
zoom tool. These cannot (for now) be replaced or removed. The default
tools are used by default, but may be replaced by other tools if
provided.
## Shapes
By default, the App has a set of "core" shapes:
- group
- embed
- bookmark
- image
- video
- text
That cannot by overwritten because they're created by the app at
different moments, such as when double clicking on the canvas or via a
copy and paste event. In follow up PRs, we'll split these out so that
users can replace parts of the code where these shapes are created.
