This PR fixes a bug where alt-dragging the left or right handles of a
text shape would not produce the correct outcome: the width would double
but the center would change.
This is because the text shape is aspect ratio locked only when dragging
handles other than the left or right, but we didn't have the ability to
differentiate between that. We've had to add that optionality in,
together with a hard-coded override of the normal behavior for text
shapes.

Our undo-redo system before this diff is based on commands. A command
is:
- A function that produces some data required to perform and undo a
change
- A function that actually performs the change, based on the data
- Another function that undoes the change, based on the data
- Optionally, a function to _redo_ the change, although in practice we
never use this
Each command that gets run is added to the undo/redo stack unless it
says it shouldn't be.
This diff replaces this system of commands with a new one where all
changes to the store are automatically recorded in the undo/redo stack.
You can imagine the new history manager like a tape recorder - it
automatically records everything that happens to the store in a special
diff, unless you "pause" the recording and ask it not to. Undo and redo
rewind/fast-forward the tape to certain marks.
As the command concept is gone, the things that were commands are now
just functions that manipulate the store.
One other change here is that the store's after-phase callbacks (and the
after-phase side-effects as a result) are now batched up and called at
the end of certain key operations. For example, `applyDiff` would
previously call all the `afterCreate` callbacks before making any
removals from the diff. Now, it (and anything else that uses
`store.atomic(fn)` will defer firing any after callbacks until the end
of an operation. before callbacks are still called part-way through
operations.
## Design options
Automatic recording is a fairly large big semantic change, particularly
to the standalone `store.put`/`store.remove` etc. commands. We could
instead make not-recording the default, and make recording opt-in
instead. However, I think auto-record-by-default is the right choice for
a few reasons:
1. Switching to a recording-based vs command-based undo-redo model is
fundamentally a big semantic change. In the past, `store.put` etc. were
always ignored. Now, regardless of whether we choose record-by-default
or ignore-by-default, the behaviour of `store.put` is _context_
dependant.
2. Switching to ignore-by-default means that either our commands don't
record undo/redo history any more (unless wrapped in
`editor.history.record`, a far larger semantic change) or they have to
always-record/all accept a history options bag. If we choose
always-record, we can't use commands within `history.ignore` as they'll
start recording again. If we choose the history options bag, we have to
accept those options in 10s of methods - basically the entire `Editor`
api surface.
Overall, given that some breaking semantic change here is unavoidable, I
think that record-by-default hits the right balance of tradeoffs. I
think it's a better API going forward, whilst also not being too
disruptive as the APIs it affects are very "deep" ones that we don't
typically encourage people to use.

### Release Note
#### Breaking changes
##### 1. History Options
Previously, some (not all!) commands accepted a history options object
with `squashing`, `ephemeral`, and `preserveRedoStack` flags. Squashing
enabled/disabled a memory optimisation (storing individual commands vs
squashing them together). Ephemeral stopped a command from affecting the
undo/redo stack at all. Preserve redo stack stopped commands from wiping
the redo stack. These flags were never available consistently - some
commands had them and others didn't.
In this version, most of these flags have been removed. `squashing` is
gone entirely (everything squashes & does so much faster than before).
There were a couple of commands that had a special default - for
example, `updateInstanceState` used to default to being `ephemeral`.
Those maintain the defaults, but the options look a little different now
- `{ephemeral: true}` is now `{history: 'ignore'}` and
`{preserveRedoStack: true}` is now `{history:
'record-preserveRedoStack'}`.
If you were previously using these options in places where they've now
been removed, you can use wrap them with `editor.history.ignore(fn)` or
`editor.history.batch(fn, {history: 'record-preserveRedoStack'})`. For
example,
```ts
editor.nudgeShapes(..., { ephemeral: true })
```
can now be written as
```ts
editor.history.ignore(() => {
editor.nudgeShapes(...)
})
```
##### 2. Automatic recording
Previously, only commands (e.g. `editor.updateShapes` and things that
use it) were added to the undo/redo stack. Everything else (e.g.
`editor.store.put`) wasn't. Now, _everything_ that touches the store is
recorded in the undo/redo stack (unless it's part of
`mergeRemoteChanges`). You can use `editor.history.ignore(fn)` as above
if you want to make other changes to the store that aren't recorded -
this is short for `editor.history.batch(fn, {history: 'ignore'})`
When upgrading to this version of tldraw, you shouldn't need to change
anything unless you're using `store.put`, `store.remove`, or
`store.applyDiff` outside of `store.mergeRemoteChanges`. If you are, you
can preserve the functionality of those not being recorded by wrapping
them either in `mergeRemoteChanges` (if they're multiplayer-related) or
`history.ignore` as appropriate.
##### 3. Side effects
Before this diff, any changes in side-effects weren't captured by the
undo-redo stack. This was actually the motivation for this change in the
first place! But it's a pretty big change, and if you're using side
effects we recommend you double-check how they interact with undo/redo
before/after this change. To get the old behaviour back, wrap your side
effects in `editor.history.ignore`.
##### 4. Mark options
Previously, `editor.mark(id)` accepted two additional boolean
parameters: `onUndo` and `onRedo`. If these were set to false, then when
undoing or redoing we'd skip over that mark and keep going until we
found one with those values set to true. We've removed those options -
if you're using them, let us know and we'll figure out an alternative!

Adds RBush to handle spatial querying. We use it for:
- Culling. Helps a lot with panning as we don't have to compute the
culled shapes from scratch. Instead we just query rbush again. It makes
culling quite granular: spatial index updates when shapes change
(additions, removals, changes to bounds), visible shapes depends on
that, but also updates when the viewport page bound change, culled
shapes then depend on that but also change with selections changes. The
api stayed the same, which is great since the fuzz tests can stay as
they are.
- Brushing
- Erasing
- Scribble brushing
- Getting shapes at point (for example, when updating the hover id)
This improves performance of all of those operations. I might have
missed some places where this might also be useful.

### Release Notes
#### BREAKING CHANGES
- The `Migrations` type is now called `LegacyMigrations`.
- The serialized schema format (e.g. returned by
`StoreSchema.serialize()` and `Store.getSnapshot()`) has changed. You
don't need to do anything about it unless you were reading data directly
from the schema for some reason. In which case it'd be best to avoid
that in the future! We have no plans to change the schema format again
(this time was traumatic enough) but you never know.
- `compareRecordVersions` and the `RecordVersion` type have both
disappeared. There is no replacement. These were public by mistake
anyway, so hopefully nobody had been using it.
- `compareSchemas` is a bit less useful now. Our migrations system has
become a little fuzzy to allow for simpler UX when adding/removing
custom extensions and 3rd party dependencies, and as a result we can no
longer compare serialized schemas in any rigorous manner. You can rely
on this function to return `0` if the schemas are the same. Otherwise it
will return `-1` if the schema on the right _seems_ to be newer than the
schema on the left, but it cannot guarantee that in situations where
migration sequences have been removed over time (e.g. if you remove one
of the builtin tldraw shapes).
Generally speaking, the best way to check schema compatibility now is to
call `store.schema.getMigrationsSince(persistedSchema)`. This will throw
an error if there is no upgrade path from the `persistedSchema` to the
current version.
- `defineMigrations` has been deprecated and will be removed in a future
release. For upgrade instructions see
https://tldraw.dev/docs/persistence#Updating-legacy-shape-migrations-defineMigrations
- `migrate` has been removed. Nobody should have been using this but if
you were you'll need to find an alternative. For migrating tldraw data,
you should stick to using `schema.migrateStoreSnapshot` and, if you are
building a nuanced sync engine that supports some amount of backwards
compatibility, also feel free to use `schema.migratePersistedRecord`.
- the `Migration` type has changed. If you need the old one for some
reason it has been renamed to `LegacyMigration`. It will be removed in a
future release.
- the `Migrations` type has been renamed to `LegacyMigrations` and will
be removed in a future release.
- the `SerializedSchema` type has been augmented. If you need the old
version specifically you can use `SerializedSchemaV1`

This PR makes a small improvement to the way we measure distances.
(Often we measure distances multiple times per frame per shape on the
screen). In many cases, we compare a minimum distance. This makes those
checks faster by avoiding a square root.
### Change Type
- [x] `sdk` — Changes the tldraw SDK
- [x] `improvement` — Improving existing features
### Release Notes
- Improve performance of minimum distance checks.
Next.js bans the use of react-dom/server APIs on the client. React's
docs recommend against using these too:
https://react.dev/reference/react-dom/server/renderToString#removing-rendertostring-from-the-client-code
In this diff, we switch from using `ReactDOMServer.renderToStaticMarkup`
to `ReactDOMClient.createRoot`, fixing SVG exports in next.js apps.
`getSvg` remains deprecated, but we've introduced a new `getSvgElement`
method with a similar API to `getSvgString` - it returns an `{svg,
width, height}` object.
### Change Type
- [x] `sdk` — Changes the tldraw SDK
- [x] `bugfix` — Bug fix
Reworks our culling logic:
- No longer show the gray rectangles for culled shapes.
- Don't use `renderingBoundExpanded`, instead we now use
`viewportPageBounds`. I've removed `renderingBoundsExpanded`, but we
might want to deprecate it?
- There's now a incremental computation of non visible shapes, which are
shapes outside of `viewportPageBounds` and shapes that outside of their
parents' clipping bounds.
- There's also a new `getCulledShapes` function in `Editor`, which uses
the non visible shapes computation as a part of the culled shape
computation.
- Also moved some of the `getRenderingShapes` tests to newly created
`getCullingShapes` tests.
Feels much better on my old, 2017 ipad (first tab is this PR, second is
current prod, third is staging).

This PR improves a bunch of places where we do "minimum distance
checks". Previously, we were using `Vec.Dist`, which uses `Math.hypot`
to find the actual distance, but we can just as well use the squared
distance. So this PR makes a small improvement to `Vec.Dist2` and then
switches to that method when checking minimum distances.
### Change Type

https://github.com/tldraw/tldraw/assets/2523721/0b3b8b42-ed70-45b7-bf83-41023c36a563
I think we should go with the `display: none` + showing the skeleteon.
The way it works is:
- We now add a sibling to the shape wrapper div which serves as the
skeleton for the culled shapes.
- Only one of the two divs (shape wrapper and skeleton div) is
displayed. The other one is using `display: none` to improve
performance.

This PR adds a "long press" event that fires when pointing for more than
500ms. This event is used in the same way that dragging is used (e.g. to
transition to from pointing_selection to translating) but only on
desktop. On mobile, long presses are used to open the context menu.
## Background
This idea came out of @TodePond's #3208 PR. We use a "dead zone" to
avoid accidentally moving / rotating things when clicking on them, which
is especially common on mobile if a dead zone feature isn't implemented.
However, this makes it difficult to make "fine adjustments" because you
need to drag out of the dead zone (to start translating) and then drag
back to where you want to go.
With this change, you can long press on desktop to get to that
translating state. It's a micro UX optimization but especially nice if
apps want to display different UI for "dragging" shapes before the user
leaves the dead zone.

### Test Plan
1. Long press shapes, selections, resize handles, rotate handles, crop
handles.
2. You should enter the corresponding states, just as you would have
with a drag.
- [ ] Unit Tests TODO
### Release Notes
- Add support for long pressing on desktop.
Adds reference docs, guide in the "Editor" article, and examples for the
side effects manager.
There are 4 new examples:
1. Before create/update shape - constrains shapes to be places within a
circle
2. Before delete shape - prevent red shapes from being deleted
3. After create/update shape - make sure there's only ever one red shape
on the page at a time
4. After delete shape - delete frames after their last child is deleted
As these examples all require fairly specific configurations of shapes
(or are hard to understand without some visual hinting in the case of
placing shapes within a circle), I've included a `createDemoShapes`
function in each of these which makes sure the examples start with
shapes that will quickly show you the side effects in action. I've kept
these separate from the main code (in a function at the bottom), so
hopefully that won't be a source of confusion to anyone working from
these examples.
### Change Type
- [x] `docs` — Changes to the documentation, examples, or templates.
- [x] `improvement` — Improving existing features
## Migration path
1. If any of your shapes implement `toSvg` for exports, you'll need to
replace your implementation with a new version that returns JSX (it's a
react component) instead of manually constructing SVG DOM nodes
2. `editor.getSvg` is deprecated. It still works, but will be going away
in a future release. If you still need SVGs as DOM elements rather than
strings, use `new DOMParser().parseFromString(svgString,
'image/svg+xml').firstElementChild`
## The change in detail
At the moment, our SVG exports very carefully try to recreate the
visuals of our shapes by manually constructing SVG DOM nodes. On its own
this is really painful, but it also results in a lot of duplicated logic
between the `component` and `getSvg` methods of shape utils.
In #3020, we looked at using string concatenation & DOMParser to make
this a bit less painful. This works, but requires specifying namespaces
everywhere, is still pretty painful (no syntax highlighting or
formatting), and still results in all that duplicated logic.
I briefly experimented with creating my own version of the javascript
language that let you embed XML like syntax directly. I was going to
call it EXTREME JAVASCRIPT or XJS for short, but then I noticed that we
already wrote the whole of tldraw in this thing called react and a (imo
much worse named) version of the javascript xml thing already existed.
Given the entire library already depends on react, what would it look
like if we just used react directly for these exports? Turns out things
get a lot simpler! Take a look at lmk what you think
This diff was intended as a proof of concept, but is actually pretty
close to being landable. The main thing is that here, I've deliberately
leant into this being a big breaking change to see just how much code we
could delete (turns out: lots). We could if we wanted to make this
without making it a breaking change at all, but it would add back a lot
of complexity on our side and run a fair bit slower

This diff mostly adds an image annotator example, but also has a couple
of drive-by changes:
- Added a 'use-cases' category to the examples app for this style of
mini-app
- Add `editor.pageToViewport`, which is like `editor.pageToScreen` but
works with viewport coordinates (better for `InFrontOfTheCanvas` stuff)
- Prevent the chrome side-swipe-to-go-back thing in the examples app
Some cool features of the image annotator:
- The image cannot be unlocked, and cannot have shapes places behind it
- I still need to work out a way of removing the context menu though
- Anything you place outside the bounds of the image (and therefore
outside the bounds of the export) will be greyed out
- You can't change pages
- unless you find the "move to page" action... need to fix that
- The camera is constrained! It'll keep the image roughly centered on
the screen. If you pick a very long thin image, you can only scroll
vertically. If you pick a very big one, it'll default it to a reasonable
size.

This PR fixes an issue where events happening on tick were not batched.
We were listening to the `tick` event directly from the state node,
rather than passing the event into the state chart at the top. This
meant that it was bypassing the regular state chart rules, which was
what got me looking at this; but then I noticed that we also weren't
batching the changes, either. This causes computed stuff to re-compute
after each atom is updated within the `onTick` handler, which can be a
LOT.

### Release Notes
- Fix a performance issue effecting resizing multiple shapes.
When we went from overrides-based to component based UI customisation
APIs, we didn't do the toolbar because it had some significant extra
complexity around overflowing the contents of the menu into the
dropdown. This is really hard to do at render-time with react - you
can't introspect what a component will return to move some of it into an
overflow.
Instead, this diff runs that logic in a `useLayoutEffect` - we render
all the items into both the main toolbar and the overflow menu, then in
the effect (or if the rendered components change) we use CSS to remove
the items we don't need, check which was last active, etc. Originally, I
wasn't really into this approach - but i've actually found it to work
super well and be very reliable.

[^1]: publishes a `patch` release, for devDependencies use `internal`
[^2]: will not publish a new version
### Release Notes
- Adds selection UI example.
- Adds `Editor.getSelectionRotatedScreenBounds` method
- Fixes a bug with `pageToScreen`.
By default, tldraw's brushing mode will select when the box intersects
an shape's geometry. A user can hold Command / Ctrl to require that the
selection box fully contain a shape's bounds instead.
Some people really prefer the opposite. Three years! Three years I've
been saying "no no no".
This PR adds a user preference to flip the logic. When `isWrapMode` is
true, selection requires that the box completely contain a shape before
it's added to the list of selecting shapes; and ctrl flips back to
intersection instead.
### Change Type
- [x] `minor` — New feature
### Test Plan
1. Turn on wrap mode in the user preferences menu.
2. Select stuff.
3. Use the ctrl key to except the behavior back to intersection.
- [x] Unit Tests
### Release Notes
- Added `isWrapMode` to user preferences.
- Added Wrap Mode toggle to user preferences menu.
This PR adds a validation mode whereby previous known-to-be-valid values
can be used to speed up the validation process itself. At the same time
it enables us to do fine-grained equality checking on records much more
quickly than by using something like lodash isEqual, and using that we
can prevent triggering effects for record updates that don't actually
alter any values in the store.
Here's some preliminary perf testing of average time spent in
`store.put()` during some common interactions
| task | before (ms) | after (ms) |
| ---- | ---- | ---- |
| drawing lines | 0.0403 | 0.0214 |
| drawing boxes | 0.0408 | 0.0348 |
| translating lines | 0.0352 | 0.0042 |
| translating boxes | 0.0051 | 0.0032 |
| rotating lines | 0.0312 | 0.0065 |
| rotating boxes | 0.0053 | 0.0035 |
| brush selecting boxes | 0.0200 | 0.0232 |
| traversal with shapes | 0.0130 | 0.0108 |
| traversal without shapes | 0.0201 | 0.0173 |
**traversal** means moving the camera and pointer around the canvas
#### Discussion
At the scale of hundredths of a millisecond these .put operations are so
fast that even if they became literally instantaneous the change would
not be human perceptible. That said, there is an overall marked
improvement here. Especially for dealing with draw shapes.
These figures are also mostly in line with expectations, aside from a
couple of things:
- I don't understand why the `brush selecting boxes` task got slower
after the change.
- I don't understand why the `traversal` tasks are slower than the
`translating boxes` task, both before and after. I would expect that
.putting shape records would be much slower than .putting pointer/camera
records (since the latter have fewer and simpler properties)

This diff adds a self-snapping API for handles. Self-snapping is used
when a shape's handles want to snap to the shape itself. By default,
this isn't allowed because moving the handle might move the snap point,
which creates a janky user experience.
Now, shapes can return customised versions of their normal handle
snapping geometry in these cases. As a bonus, line shapes now snap to
other handles on their own line!
### Change Type

This one is a roundup of superficial changes, apologies for having them
in a single PR.
This PR:
- does some chair re-arranging for one of our hotter paths related to
updating shapes
- changes our type exports for editor components
- adds shape indicator to editor components
- moves canvas to be an editor component
- fixes a CSS bug with hinted buttons
- fixes CSS bugs with the menus
- fixes bad imports in examples
### Change Type
- [x] `major`
This PR adds the `TldrawImage` component that displays a tldraw snapshot
as an SVG image.
## Why
We've seen requests for this kind of thing from users. eg: GitBook, and
on discord:
<img width="710" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/tldraw/tldraw/assets/15892272/3d3a3e9d-66b9-42e7-81de-a70aa7165bdc">
The component provides a way to do that.
This PR also untangles various bits of editor state from image
exporting, which makes it easier for library users to export images more
agnostically. (ie: they can now export any shapes on any page in any
theme. previously, they had to change the user's state to do that).
## What else
- This PR also adds an **Image snapshot** example to demonstrate the new
component.
- We now pass an `isDarkMode` property to the `toSvg` method (inside the
`ctx` argument). This means that `toSvg` doesn't have to rely on editor
state anymore. I updated all our `toSvg` methods to use it.
- See code comments for more info.
## Any issues?
When you toggle to editing mode in the new example, text measurements
are initially wrong (until you edit the size of a text shape). Click on
the text shape to see how its indicator is wrong. Not sure why this is,
or if it's even related. Does it ring a bell with anyone? If not, I'll
take a closer look. (fixed, see comments --steve)
## Future work
Now that we've untangled image exporting from editor state, we could
expose some more helpful helpers for making this easier.
Fixes tld-2122
### Change Type

Currently, when dragging line handles they'll snap to the outlines of
other shapes, but not to their vertices. This can make it hard to snap
precisely to certain key places, like the handles of other lines, or the
corners of `geo` shapes.
This diff adds a new snap type for handles - snapping to points:
This adds to the new snapping API so the snapping points can very easily
be customised on a shape-by-shape basis. Closes TLD-2198

### Change Type
- [x] `minor` — New feature
### Test Plan
1. create a line shape
2. drag its handles whilst holding command
3. it should snap to the outlines of other shapes, vertices of other
line shapes, and the bounding box corners/center of most 'boxy' shapes
(geo, embed, etc)
- [x] Unit Tests
### Release Notes
- Line handles
This diff adds an API for customising our existing snap types. These
are:
1. Bound snapping. When translating or resizing a shape, it'll snap to
certain key points on the bounds of particular shapes. Previously, these
were hard-coded to the corners and center of the bounding box of the
shape. Now, a shape can bring its own (e.g. a triangle may add snapping
for its 3 corners, and it's centroid rather than bounding box center.
2. Handle outline snapping. When dragging a handle, it'll snap to the
outline of other shapes geometry. Now, shapes can return different
geometry for this sort of snapping if they like.
Each of these is customised through a method on `ShapeUtil`:
`getBoundsSnapGeometry` and `getHandleSnapGeometry`. These return
interfaces describing the different geometry that can be snapped to in
both these cases. Currently, each returns an object with a single
property, but there are more types of snapping coming in follow-up PRs.
When reviewing this PR, start with the definitions of
`BoundsSnapGeometry` in `BoundsSnaps.ts` and `HandleSnapGeometry` in
`HandleSnaps.ts`
This doesn't add point snapping - i'll add that in a follow-up! It'll be
customisable with the `getHandleSnapGeometry` API.

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.

### Release Notes

Currently, we type our fractional index keys as `string` and don't have
any validation for them. I'm touching some of this code for my work on
line handles and wanted to change that:
- fractional indexes are now `IndexKey`s, not `string`s. `IndexKey`s
have a brand property so can't be used interchangeably with strings
(like our IDs)
- There's a new `T.indexKey` validator which we can use in our
validations to make sure we don't end up with nonsense keys.

This PR changes the way that viewport bounds are calculated by using the
canvas element as the source of truth, rather than the container. This
allows for cases where the canvas is not the same dimensions as the
component. (Given the way our UI and context works, there are cases
where this is desired, i.e. toolbars and other items overlaid on top of
the canvas area).
The editor's `getContainer` is now only used for the text measurement.
It would be good to get that out somehow.
# Pros
We can inset the canvas
# Cons
We can no longer imperatively call `updateScreenBounds`, as we need to
provide those bounds externally.
### Change Type
- [x] `major` — Breaking change
### Test Plan
1. Use the examples, including the new inset canvas example.
- [x] Unit Tests
### Release Notes
- Changes the source of truth for the viewport page bounds to be the
canvas instead.
`Geometry2d.isSnappable` isn't used. There's some intended behaviour
here around making it so you can't snap handles to text labels, but it's
not actually working.
This is a breaking change, but given this property doesn't do anything I
don't think it's likely to be heavily depended upon

This would happen when trying to translate a zero-width bound arrow.
### Change Type
- [x] `patch` — Bug fix
### Release Notes
- Fixes zero-width arrow NaN computation when moving the label.
Taking the opportunity for some last-minute low-consequence breaking
changes before 2.0, this diff does some prep work for adding a new
snapping API by making the distinction between the two types of snapping
a bit clearer and cleaning up some naming.
- `SnapManager` has had most of the actual snapping logic moved into two
properties: `shapeBounds` (for snapping shape bounds on translate and
resize) and `handles` (for snapping handles)
- `SnapLine`s are renamed to `SnapIndicator`s. The 'line' name was a bit
confusing because not all of these indicators are lines (the new vertex
snap type will be a single point)
I'm not too worried about this being a breaking change as it touches an
area of the API that I'd be very surprised if more than a couple of
people were using.
### Change Type
- [x] `major` — Breaking change
### Test Plan
- No user-facing changes.
### Release Notes
- `SnapLine`s are now called `SnapIndicator`s
- Snapping methods moved from `editor.snaps` to
`editor.snaps.shapeBounds` and `editor.snaps.handles` depending on the
type of snapping you're trying to do.
This is a followup on the arrows work.
- allow labels to go to the ends if no arrowhead is present
- avoid using / overloading TLHandle and use a new PointingLabel state
to specifically address label movement
- removes the feature flag to launch this feature!
### Change Type
- [x] `patch` — Bug fix
### Release Notes
- Arrow labels: provide more polish on label placement

This adds the ability to drag the label on an arrow to a different
location within the line segment/arc.
https://github.com/tldraw/tldraw/assets/469604/dbd2ee35-bebc-48d6-b8ee-fcf12ce91fa5
- A lot of the complexity lay in ensuring a fixed distance from the ends
of the arrowheads.
- I added a new type of handle `text-adjust` that makes the text box the
very handle itself.
- I added a `ARROW_HANDLES` enum - we should use more enums!
- The bulk of the changes are in ArrowShapeUtil — check that out in
particular obviously :)
Along the way, I tried to improve a couple spots as I touched them:
- added some more documentation to Vec.ts because some of the functions
in there were obscure/new to me. (at least the naming, hah)
- added `getPointOnCircle` which was being done in a couple places
independently and refactored those places.
### Questions
- the `getPointOnCircle` API changed. Is this considered breaking and/or
should I leave the signature the same? Wasn't sure if it was a big deal
or not.
- I made `labelPosition` in the schema always but I guess it could have
been optional? Lemme know if there's a preference.
- Any feedback on tests? Happy to expand those if necessary.

the arrow at a fixed width.
e. Test different stroke widths.
f. Test with different arrowheads.
2. Also, test arcs that are more circle like than arc-like.

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.
