This PR improves the wording in the Editor docs page.
It only touches the intro section.
See the comments for more details!
I'm also looking at the page in entirety - will cover that in another
PR.

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.

This PR changes App to Editor in the docs.
It goes alongside some changes that I accidentally commited to main...
so feel free to review those here as well!

### 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 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
This PR adds a contributor license agreement (CLA) to the project.
Contributors will need to sign the CLA before we merge their PRs. This
will be handled automatically via a bot here on GitHub.
## Context
Did you know tldraw is a [venture
backed](https://tldraw.substack.com/p/tiny-little-seed-round) company?
Our CLA is designed to protect our options for any future re-licensing
of the project's code or transferring ownership, which can become
complicated when taking public contributions community, but which can
become necessary by fate and/or go to market strategies.
A CLA adds a bit of friction and hassle for contributors, however I'd
prefer to be upfront about our relationship rather than doing what many
open source projects have done in the past, which is relicensing code
contributed without such prior agreement.
If you have any questions, feel free to post them below.
### Change Type
- [x] `internal` — Any other changes that don't affect the published
package (will not publish a new version)
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
- [x] `documentation` — Changes to the documentation only (will not
publish a new version)
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 `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.
