Our reference docs don't currently include members inherited through the
`extends` keyword. These extended items are barely referenced at all -
you have to find them in the signature.
This diff adds a clearer note to the docs saying which type has been
extended, and if possible brings the extended items through onto the
current documentation page (with a note saying where they're from)
### Change Type
- [x] `docs` — Changes to the documentation, examples, or templates.
- [x] `improvement` — Improving existing features
Our generated docs are pretty verbose and space inefficient. This diff
has a few design tweaks to try and make sure that the information that's
emphasised is the stuff that's most important, and makes the typical
docs item use a bit less space in the process.

Previously, when items in our documentation referred to each other in
code snippets, we'd put the links to their documentation pages in a
separate "references" section at the bottom of the docs. Generally I
find that this makes links harder to find (they're not in-context) and
adds a fair bit of visual noise to our API documentation.
This diff moves those links inline by adding a post-processing step to
our highlighted code. This is slightly more involved than I wanted it to
be (see the comments in code.tsx for an explanation of why) but it gets
the job done. I've added small link icons next to linked code items - i
experimented with underlines and a 🔗 icon too, but this seemed to look
the best.

Typescript's type aliases (`type X = thing`) can refer to basically
anything, which makes it hard to write an automatic document formatter
for them. Interfaces on the other hand are only object, so they play
much nicer with docs. Currently, object-flavoured type aliases don't
really get expanded at all on our docs site, which means we have a bunch
of docs content that's not shown on the site.
This diff introduces a lint rule that forces `interface X {foo: bar}`s
instead of `type X = {foo: bar}` where possible, as it results in a much
better documentation experience:

- [x] `improvement` — Improving existing features
- always refresh docs content when building on CI
- use local api.json files now since we don't want to use SOURCE_SHA
- @steveruizok it feels kinda problematic that we check in a bunch of
derived files that the docs build requires. Things can get out of sync
easily, and whose responsibility is it to update them? In the future I
reckon we should explore ways to remove these files from the git index
as much as possible.

### Release Notes
- Add a brief release note for your PR here.
We use `children: any` in a bunch of places, but the proper type for
these is `ReactNode`. This diff fixes those.
### Change Type
- [x] `patch` — Bug fix
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!
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.
- 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 has some superficial style changes for the docs.
### Change Type
- [ ] `patch` — Bug fix

Uses sandpack in all places so we can do richer code snippets.
Also, drive-by fix to fix sidebar logic.
Also, drive-by fix to hide keyboard hint (Cmd+K) for search on mobile.
### Change Type
- [x] `documentation` — Changes to the documentation only[^2]
### Release Notes
- Docs: reworks code snippets
Following on from #2686, this PR replaces the introduction page with a
Quick Start guide.
Next Steps:
- Better UX around the code blocks, throughout the site. A copy button
would be great.
- Collapsible extra info on the release version and rendering an inline
component
- Maybe remove the embed
- [x] `documentation` — Changes to the documentation only[^2]
### Release Notes
- Add a quick start guide

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
### Change Type
- [x] `documentation` — Changes to the documentation only[^2]
### Release Notes
- Docs: fix up scrolling.
### Change Type
- [x] `patch` — Bug fix
### Test Plan
1. Make sure search (AI and regular) still works as expected.
### Release Notes
- Docs: Add full-text search.
This PR tweaks the styling in the autocomplete. It removes icons and
matches styles to the sidebar. It improves the mobile design to hide the
search bar on mobile.

src="https://github.com/tldraw/tldraw/assets/469604/4e5a8076-62cd-44bb-b8e7-7f5ecdc4af24">
- rework search completely
- rm Search Results css
- uses Ariakit and add appropriate hooks / styling
- I couldn't use Radix unfortunately since they're still working on
adding a Combox: https://github.com/radix-ui/primitives/issues/1342
- I'm open to other suggestions but Ariakit plays nicely with Radix and
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
### Change Type
- [x] `minor` — New feature
### Test Plan
1. Test searches using normal method for each type (examples, docs,
refs)
2. Test searches using AI for each type (ditto)
### Release Notes
- Docs: rework the search to be an inline dropdown.
- add TOC for Reference section
- make external links use _blank to open a new tab
- fix some more /gen links spots I missed, oops
- add a general redirect from old /gen links → /reference
- some more stylistic touchups
### Change Type
- [x] `documentation` — Changes to the documentation only[^2]
### Release Notes
- Docs: further cleanup following restructure.
This PR starts putting in place the high-level changes we want to make
to the docs site.
- It makes separate sections for Reference and Examples and Community.
- Gets rid of the secondary sidebar and integrates it into the main
sidebar.
- Groups the reference articles by type.
- Pulls in the examples alongside code and a live playground so people
don't have to visit examples.tldraw.com separately.

### Release Notes
- Add a brief release note for your PR here.
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 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 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
## 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. 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]
[^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.
Add anchor target for our headings. Makes it much easier to share a link
to a specific part of the page.
### Change Type
- [x] `documentation` — Changes to the documentation only
### Test Plan
1. Open the docs page.
2. The headings should now be anchors to this part of the page.
### Release Notes
- Improve documentation to include anchor targets.
