This PR adds two new component overrides to the editor's `components`
slot. They are:
- `<OnTheCanvas/>`, which renders inside of the html layer that scales
and translates with the camera
- `<InFrontOfTheCanvas/>`, which renders in front of the canvas but
behind any UI elements, and which does not scale / pan with the camera.

### Change Type
- [x] `minor` — New feature
### Test Plan
1. See the "on the canvas" example.
### Release Notes
- [editor] Adds two new components, `OnTheCanvas` and
`InFrontOfTheCanvas`.
This PR adds support for multiple scribbles at the same time. It
prevents the sudden disappearance of existing scribbles when new ones
are added. It simplifies the management of scribbles by moving the
scribble manager to the editor.

### Change Type
- [x] `minor` — New feature
### Test Plan
1. Use the eraser, scribble select, and laser pointer tools
- [x] Unit Tests
### Release Notes
- [feature] multi scribbles
Before the geometry change, we'd rely on the browser to tell us which
element was hovered, which meant that when the pointer left the canvas
we'd automatically clear the hovered shape.
Currently, we don't know whether the pointer is over the canvas or not -
so we keep showing the hover indicator for the last shape you had your
pointer over.
This diff adds an `isHoveringCanvas` prop to the instance state (true,
false, or null if the current pointer doesn't support hovering) that we
can use to track this and disable the hover indicator appropriately.

### Change Type
- [x] `minor` — New feature
### Test Plan
1. Create some shapes that go below the UI
2. Move the mouse from the shape to the UI
3. Hover indicator should disappear
This PR:
- removes feature flags for people menu, highlighter shape
- removes debugging for cursors
- adds a debug flag for hiding shapes
- changes Canvas to use `useValue` rather than `track`
- removes the default background color on `tl-background`
- in the editor components, makes `Background` null by default
### Change Type
- [x] `minor` — New feature
This PR hides hovered indicators when using a coarse pointer.
### Change Type
- [x] `patch` — Bug fix
### Test Plan
1. On an iPad or touch device, use the draw tool.
2. Select the select tool.
3. You should not see the hovered indicator on the drawn shape.
### Release Notes
- Hide hovered indicators on mobile / coarse pointer devices.
This PR fixes the text label placement for geo shapes. (It also fixes
the way an ellipse renders when set to dash or dotted).
There's still the slightest offset of the text label's outline when you
begin editing. Maybe we should keep the indicator instead?
### Change Type
- [x] `patch` — Bug fix
### Test Plan
Create a hexagon shape
hit enter to type
indicator is offset, text label is no longer offset

Currently, the highlighter shape uses a single 0-width line for its
geometry, same as the draw tool. For the draw tool this works ok - the
visual line is thin enough that unless you zoom right in, it's hard to
find areas where the hover should trigger but isn't. As the highlighter
tool is much thicker though, it's relatively easy to find those areas.
The fix is for the geometry to represent the line including its thick
stroke, instead of at 0-width. There are two possible approaches here:
1. Update the polyline geometry to allow passing a stroke width.
2. Instead of a polyline, make the highlighter shape be a polygon that
traces _around_ the stroke
1 is the more accurate approach, but is hard to fit into our geometry
system. Our geometry is based around two primitives: `getVertices` which
returns an array of points around the shape, and `nearestPoint` which
returns the nearest point on the geometry to a vector we pass in. We can
account for a stroke in `nearestPoint` pretty easily, including it in
`getVertices` is hard - we'd have to expand the vertices and handle line
join/caps etc. Just making the change in `nearestPoint` does fix the
issue here, but i'm not sure about the knock-on effect elsewhere and
don't really want to introduce 1-off hacks into the core geometry
system.
2 actually means addressing the same hard problem around outlining
strokes as 1, but it lets us do it in a more tightly-scoped one-off
change just to the highlighter shape, instead of trying to come up with
a generic solution for the whole geometry system. This is the approach
I've taken in this diff. We outline the stroke using perfect-freehand,
which works pretty well but produces inaccurate results at edge-cases,
particularly when a line rapidly changes direction:

I think that given this is scoped to just the highlighter shape and is
imo an improvement over the stroke issue from before, it's a reasonable
solution for now. If we want to in the future we could implement real
non-freehand-based outlining.
### Change Type
- [x] `patch` — Bug fix
### Test Plan
1. Create a highlight shape
2. Zoom in
3. Make sure you can interact with the shape at its edges instead of
right in the center
This PR fixes an extremely performance-crushing bug that was happening
in Safari and Chrome when iframes were present.

### Test Plan
1. Create one hundred shapes
2. Create a gist or maps embed
3. Select all
If the app crashes or the rendering layers list grows to lots and lots

### Release Notes
- [fix] iframe rendering issue
This PR fixes some creative use of CSS in setting the radius property of
various SVGs. While this use is supported in all browsers, it was
confusing CSS processors. Moving these out of CSS and into JavaScript
seems to be a pretty minor trade. Closes
https://github.com/tldraw/tldraw/issues/1775.
### Change Type
- [x] `patch` — Bug fix
### Test Plan
1. Ensure that borders and handles adjust their radii correctly when
zoomed in or out.
This PR is a significant rewrite of our selection / hit testing logic.
It
- replaces our current geometric helpers (`getBounds`, `getOutline`,
`hitTestPoint`, and `hitTestLineSegment`) with a new geometry API
- moves our hit testing entirely to JS using geometry
- improves selection logic, especially around editing shapes, groups and
frames
- fixes many minor selection bugs (e.g. shapes behind frames)
- removes hit-testing DOM elements from ShapeFill etc.
- adds many new tests around selection
- adds new tests around selection
- makes several superficial changes to surface editor APIs
This PR is hard to evaluate. The `selection-omnibus` test suite is
intended to describe all of the selection behavior, however all existing
tests are also either here preserved and passing or (in a few cases
around editing shapes) are modified to reflect the new behavior.
## Geometry
All `ShapeUtils` implement `getGeometry`, which returns a single
geometry primitive (`Geometry2d`). For example:
```ts
class BoxyShapeUtil {
getGeometry(shape: BoxyShape) {
return new Rectangle2d({
width: shape.props.width,
height: shape.props.height,
isFilled: true,
margin: shape.props.strokeWidth
})
}
}
```
This geometric primitive is used for all bounds calculation, hit
testing, intersection with arrows, etc.
There are several geometric primitives that extend `Geometry2d`:
- `Arc2d`
- `Circle2d`
- `CubicBezier2d`
- `CubicSpline2d`
- `Edge2d`
- `Ellipse2d`
- `Group2d`
- `Polygon2d`
- `Rectangle2d`
- `Stadium2d`
For shapes that have more complicated geometric representations, such as
an arrow with a label, the `Group2d` can accept other primitives as its
children.
## Hit testing
Previously, we did all hit testing via events set on shapes and other
elements. In this PR, I've replaced those hit tests with our own
calculation for hit tests in JavaScript. This removed the need for many
DOM elements, such as hit test area borders and fills which only existed
to trigger pointer events.
## Selection
We now support selecting "hollow" shapes by clicking inside of them.
This involves a lot of new logic but it should work intuitively. See
`Editor.getShapeAtPoint` for the (thoroughly commented) implementation.

every sunset is actually the sun hiding in fear and respect of tldraw's
quality of interactions
This PR also fixes several bugs with scribble selection, in particular
around the shift key modifier.

...as well as issues with labels and editing.
There are **over 100 new tests** for selection covering groups, frames,
brushing, scribbling, hovering, and editing. I'll add a few more before
I feel comfortable merging this PR.
## Arrow binding
Using the same "hollow shape" logic as selection, arrow binding is
significantly improved.

a thousand wise men could not improve on this
## Moving focus between editing shapes
Previously, this was handled in the `editing_shapes` state. This is
moved to `useEditableText`, and should generally be considered an
advanced implementation detail on a shape-by-shape basis. This addresses
a bug that I'd never noticed before, but which can be reproduced by
selecting an shape—but not focusing its input—while editing a different
shape. Previously, the new shape became the editing shape but its input
did not focus.

In this PR, you can select a shape by clicking on its edge or body, or
select its input to transfer editing / focus.

This PR removes several extraneous computed values from the editor. It
adds some silly instance state onto the instance state record and
unifies a few methods which were inconsistent. This is fit and finish
work 🧽
## Computed Values
In general, where once we had a getter and setter for `isBlahMode`,
which really masked either an `_isBlahMode` atom on the editor or
`instanceState.isBlahMode`, these are merged into `instanceState`; they
can be accessed / updated via `editor.instanceState` /
`editor.updateInstanceState`.
## tldraw select tool specific things
This PR also removes some tldraw specific state checks and creates new
component overrides to allow us to include them in tldraw/tldraw.

This PR moves code between our packages so that:
- @tldraw/editor is a “core” library with the engine and canvas but no
shapes, tools, or other things
- @tldraw/tldraw contains everything particular to the experience we’ve
built for tldraw
At first look, this might seem like a step away from customization and
configuration, however I believe it greatly increases the configuration
potential of the @tldraw/editor while also providing a more accurate
reflection of what configuration options actually exist for
@tldraw/tldraw.
## Library changes
@tldraw/editor re-exports its dependencies and @tldraw/tldraw re-exports
@tldraw/editor.
- users of @tldraw/editor WITHOUT @tldraw/tldraw should almost always
only import things from @tldraw/editor.
- users of @tldraw/tldraw should almost always only import things from
@tldraw/tldraw.
- @tldraw/polyfills is merged into @tldraw/editor
- @tldraw/indices is merged into @tldraw/editor
- @tldraw/primitives is merged mostly into @tldraw/editor, partially
into @tldraw/tldraw
- @tldraw/file-format is merged into @tldraw/tldraw
- @tldraw/ui is merged into @tldraw/tldraw
Many (many) utils and other code is moved from the editor to tldraw. For
example, embeds now are entirely an feature of @tldraw/tldraw. The only
big chunk of code left in core is related to arrow handling.
## API Changes
The editor can now be used without tldraw's assets. We load them in
@tldraw/tldraw instead, so feel free to use whatever fonts or images or
whatever that you like with the editor.
All tools and shapes (except for the `Group` shape) are moved to
@tldraw/tldraw. This includes the `select` tool.
You should use the editor with at least one tool, however, so you now
also need to send in an `initialState` prop to the Editor /
<TldrawEditor> component indicating which state the editor should begin
in.
The `components` prop now also accepts `SelectionForeground`.
The complex selection component that we use for tldraw is moved to
@tldraw/tldraw. The default component is quite basic but can easily be
replaced via the `components` prop. We pass down our tldraw-flavored
SelectionFg via `components`.
Likewise with the `Scribble` component: the `DefaultScribble` no longer
uses our freehand tech and is a simple path instead. We pass down the
tldraw-flavored scribble via `components`.
The `ExternalContentManager` (`Editor.externalContentManager`) is
removed and replaced with a mapping of types to handlers.
- Register new content handlers with
`Editor.registerExternalContentHandler`.
- Register new asset creation handlers (for files and URLs) with
`Editor.registerExternalAssetHandler`

This PR removes the strict state checks for the brush and zoom brush. We
should consider making the canvas more controlled by what exists (e.g.
whether a `brush` exists) rather than depending on particular statechart
states.
### Change Type
- [x] `minor`
### Test Plan
1. Create a brush manually in the API.
2. The brush should be visible on the canvas.
### Release Notes
- [editor] remove `editor.isIn` state checks for displaying brush and
zoom brush.
tldraw-zero themed follow-ups to the styles API added in #1580.
- Removed style related helpers from `ShapeUtil`
- `editor.css` no longer includes the tldraw default color palette.
Instead, a global `DefaultColorPalette` is defined as part of the color
style. If developers wish to cusomise the colors, they can mutate that
global.
- `ShapeUtil.toSvg` no longer takes font/color. Instead, it takes an
"svg export context" that can be used to add `<defs>` to the exported
SVG element. Converting e.g. fonts to inlined data urls is now the
responsibility of the shapes that use them rather than the Editor.
- `usePattern` is not longer a core part of the editor. Instead,
`ShapeUtil` has a `getCanvasSvgDefs` method for returning react
components representing anything a shape needs included in `<defs>` for
the canvas.
- The shape-specific cleanup logic in `setStyle` has been deleted. It
turned out that none of that logic has been running anyway, and instead
the relevant logic lives in shape `onBeforeChange` callbacks already.

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 removes the `onDropOverride` prop from the canvas, which was a
bit of a hack.
### Change Type
- [x] `major` — Breaking change
### Release Notes
- [editor] Remove `onDropOverride`
This PR renames `App`, `app` and all appy names to `Editor`, `editor`,
and editorry names.
### 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 webdriver end to end tests with playwright tests.
It:
- replaces our webdriver workflow with a new e2e workflow based on
playwright
- removes the webdriver project
- adds e2e tests to our examples app
- replaces all `data-wd` attributes with `data-testid`
### Coverage
Most of the tests from our previous e2e tests are reproduced here,
though there are some related to our gestures that will need to be done
in a different way—or not at all. I've also added a handful of new
tests, too.
### Where are they
The tests are now part of our examples app rather than being in its own
different app. This should help us test our different examples too. As
far as I can tell there are no downsides here in terms of the regular
developer experience, though they might complicate any CodeSandbox
projects that are hooked into the examples app.
### Change Type
- [x] `tests` — Changes to any testing-related code only (will not
publish a new version)
This diff tweaks our `debugFlags` framework to support setting different
default value for different environments, makes it easier to define
feature flags, and makes feature flags show up in the debug menu by
default. With this change, feature flags will default to being enabled
in dev and preview environments, but disabled in production.
Specify a feature flag like this:
```ts
const featureFlags = {
myCoolNewFeature: createFeatureFlag('myCoolNewFeature')
}
```
optionally, pass a second value to control its defaults:
```ts
const featureFlags = {
featureEnabledInProduction: createFeatureFlag('someFeature', { all: true }),
customEnabled: createFeatureFlag('otherFeature', {development: true, staging: false, production: false}),
}
```
In code, the value can be read using `featureFlags.myFeature.value`.
Remember to wrap reading it in a reactive context!

The <Canvas> component was previously split into an <SVGLayer> and an
<HTMLLayer>, mainly due to the complexity around translating SVGs.
However, this was done before we learned that SVGs can have overflow:
visible, so it turns out that we don't really need the SVGLayer at all.
This PR now refactors away SVG Layer.
It also updates the class name prefix in editor from `rs-` to `tl-` and
does a few other small changes.
