This PR incorporates design tweaks from #2922 without the home page or
content changes.
These are:
- Replacing all `hello@tldraw.com` with `sales@tldraw.com`
- Fix mailto links.
- Showing the first item in a section on direct routes to the section
- Splitting the article page for human-written content from article page
for generated content
- Splitting the layout for the landing page from the rest of the site
(temporarily identical to the regular content)
- Removing headings from left sidebar
- Restoring headings in right sidebar for human-written pages with > 1
heading link
- Styling block quote
- Adjusting section link appearance / layout in header / menu
- Changing the order of search results to preference docs over examples
- Updating copy on events
- Removing copy on user interface menus
- Adding hero as prop to all articles
- Updated icon
- Fixing a few broken links
- Replaces the sandpack code blocks with hljs code blocks, except in
examples.
### Change Type
- [x] `documentation` — Changes to the documentation only[^2]
Rename `@tldraw/tldraw` to just `tldraw`! `@tldraw/tldraw` still exists
as an alias to `tldraw` for folks who are still using that.
### Test Plan
- [x] Unit Tests
- [ ] End to end tests
### Release Notes
- The `@tldraw/tldraw` package has been renamed to `tldraw`. You can
keep using the old version if you want though!
This PR refreshes the docs content (the API json files will change after
the API extractor bump).
### Change Type
- [x] `documentation` — Changes to the documentation only[^2]
This PR bumps TypeScript to 5.3.3 and API extractor. We started getting
some weird behavior in CI due to different versions of the two
libraries, ie where the CI api.jsons would differ from those built
locally.
### Change Type
- [x] `dependencies` — Changes to package dependencies[^1]
Removes references to the vite template
- [x] `documentation` — Changes to the documentation only[^2]
### Release Notes
- changes the doc site so it no longer references the site template
Moves the article content above the iframe and adds the description to
the title.
- [x] `documentation` — Changes to the documentation only[^2]
### Release Notes
- Adds more info to the examples section of the docs.
This PR converts all example titles and categories to sentence case, to
make them consistent with our UI and the other examples.
### 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. Look at the examples app.
2. Check that all the titles of examples make you feel calm and good
inside.
- [ ] Unit Tests
- [ ] End to end tests
### Release Notes
- Docs: Made the examples titles sentence case.
- scrolling to a section was hiding the header under the top layout when
clicking on the sidebar
- dark mode wasn't hydrating correctly and we only render on client, for
now
### Change Type
- [x] `documentation` — Changes to the documentation only[^2]
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.
# Progress
- [x] Context menu
- [x] Main menu
- [x] Zoom menu
- [x] Help menu
- [x] Actions menu
- [x] Keyboard shortcuts menu
- [x] Quick actions in main menu? (new)
- [x] Helper buttons? (new)
- [x] Debug Menu
And potentially
- [x] Toolbar
- [x] Style menu
- [ ] Share zone
- [x] Navigation zone
- [ ] Other zones
### Change Type
- [x] `major` — Breaking change
### Test Plan
1. use the context menu
2. use the custom context menu example
3. use cursor chat in the context menu
- [x] Unit Tests
- [ ] End to end tests
### Release Notes
- Add a brief release note for your PR here.
Fixes#2826, extracted from #2680
The problem is that we had two different articles whose ids were being
derived as `persistence`, the `persistence.mdx` file and the
`persistence/` example.
I've
1. Made it an error for two articles to have the same id
2. Renamed the `persistence/` article to `local-storage` since that's
the API it's using.

component
- Maybe remove the embed

This was an annoying change. Next.js feels like it should be preserving
the scroll position but it doesn't, it re-renders.
Drive-by change to make the transition at the bottom not animate
everything (this might have been the CPU usage you were seeing @si14

Biome as it is now didn't work out for us 😢
Summary for posterity:
* it IS much, much faster, fast enough to skip any sort of caching
* we couldn't fully replace Prettier just yet. We use Prettier
programmatically to format code in docs, and Biome's JS interface is
officially alpha and [had legacy peer deps
set](https://github.com/biomejs/biome/pull/1756) (which would fail our
CI build as we don't allow installation warnings)
* ternary formatting differs from Prettier, leading to a large diff
https://github.com/biomejs/biome/issues/1661
* import sorting differs from Prettier's
`prettier-plugin-organize-imports`, making the diff even bigger
* the deal breaker is a multi-second delay on saving large files (for us
it's
[Editor.ts](https://github.com/tldraw/tldraw/blob/main/packages/editor/src/lib/editor/Editor.ts))
in VSCode when import sorting is enabled. There is a seemingly relevant
Biome issue where I posted a small summary of our findings:
https://github.com/biomejs/biome/issues/1569#issuecomment-1930411623
Further actions:
* reevaluate in a few months as Biome matures

Biome seems to be MUCH faster than Prettier. Unfortunately, it
introduces some formatting changes around the ternary operator, so we
have to update files in the repo. To make revert easier if we need it,
the change is split into two PRs. This PR introduces a Biome CI check
and reformats all files accordingly.

keeps things open to migrate to Radix in the future
- fixes bug with not scrolling to right place when having a direct link
- adds categories in the search results - examples / reference / learn
- and adds category icons. Let me know if there's a better policy for
adding new SVG icons cc @steveruizok

Occasionally the auto-built items, such as Sections.json, will be

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.

### Release Notes
- We no longer show the tool lock option for highlighter - it didn't do
anything anyway
This PR removes the docs site (again) which suggests that git may have
been confused about new content.
### Change Type
- [x] `documentation` — Changes to the documentation only
This PR changes how the sidebar works on the docs site.
## What's the problem?
Previously, you couldn't reach the bottom of the sidebar on some screens
- unless you scroll to the very bottom of the main content. Some of our
pages are [very
long](https://canary.tldraw.dev/gen/editor/Editor-class), so this isn't
practical.
## How are we fixing it?
This PR makes the sidebar scroll separately from the main content.
It's less fancy and less pretty :/
But it's usable.
Maybe we could make it sleeker somehow, but this works at least.
## Admin
### 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. On the docs site, make your browser window short so that you can't
see the whole sidebar.
2. Make sure that you can scroll down to the bottom on the sidebar,
separately from the rest of the page.
### Release Notes
- Documentation: Fixed the sidebar being unscrollable on some short
screens.
This PR adds some immediate feedback when you search on the docs site —
so that you know that your query has been submitted. This is most
noticeable on slower internet connections. But even on fast connections,
search feels a bit untrustworthy because you don't get that immediate
feedback.
We could make a little loading spinner or something. But for now, I just
disabled the search input when you submit it, because it didn't require
any design work!
## Before
No way of telling that the search results are loading. No immediate
feedback:
## After

### Change Type
- [x] `documentation` — Changes to the documentation only[^2]

[^2]: will not publish a new version
### Test Plan
1. Throttle your network tab!
2. Search for something on the docs site (eg: Editor)
3. The search input should get disabled when you press the Enter key.
### Release Notes
- Documentation: Added some immediate feedback when you search.
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]

### 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 fixes your cursor when you hover some buttons in the docs site.
This makes them consistent with all other buttons.
### Change Type
- [x] `documentation` — Changes to the documentation only[^2]
[^1]: publishes a `patch` release, for devDependencies use `internal`

### Test Plan
1. On the docs site, hover your cursor over the light/dark button.
2. Make sure that your cursor is a pointing finger.
### Release Notes
- Documentation: Fixed the wrong cursor showing when hovering some
buttons.
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.
