Steve tried this in #3043, but we reverted it in #3063. Steve's version
added `JSON.parse`/`JSON.stringify` to the helpers without checking for
where we were already `JSON.parse`ing (or not). In some places we just
store strings directly rather than wanting them jsonified, so in this
version we leave the jsonification to the callers - the helpers just do
the reading/writing and return the string values.
### Change Type
- [x] `patch` — Bug fix
This PR provides some safe wrappers for local storage calls. Local
storage is not available in all environments (for example, a React
Native web view). The PR also adds an eslint rule preventing direct
calls to local / session storage.
### Change Type
- [x] `patch` — Bug fix
### Release Notes
- Fixes a bug that could cause crashes in React Native webviews.
Adds the ability to change document names in the top center part of the
UI. This mostly brings back the functionality we already had in the
past.
This is basically a port of what @SomeHats did a while back. I changed
the dropdown options and removed some of the things (we are not dealing
with network requests directly so some of that logic did not apply any
longer). We did have autosave back then, not sure if we want to bring
that back?
Changes the `exportAs` api, thus braking.

[^1]: publishes a `patch` release, for devDependencies use `internal`
[^2]: will not publish a new version
### Test Plan
1. Top center should now show a new UI element. It has a dropdown with a
few actions.
2. Double clicking the name should also start editing it.
3. The name should also be respected when exporting things. Not if you
select some shapes or a frame. In that case we still use the old names.
But if you don't have anything selected and then export / save a project
it should have the document name.

### Release Notes
- Allow users to name their documents.
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.

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.

### Test Plan
1. For arrow in [straightArrow, curvedArrow] test the following:
a. Label in the middle
b. Label at both ends of the arrow
c. Test arrows in different directions
d. Rotating the endpoints and seeing that the label stays at the end of
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.

### Release Notes
- Adds ability to change label position on arrows.

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
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
It tried to get out but we're dragging it back in.

This diff adds an initial version of the highlighter shape. At this
stage, it's a complete copy of the draw tool minus the following
features:
* Fills
* Stroke types
* Closed shapes
I've created a new shape util (a copy-paste of the draw one with stuff
renamed/deleted) but reused the state chart nodes for the draw shape.
Currently this new tool looks exactly like the draw tool, but that'll be
changing soon!
The UI here is extremely WIP. The highlighter tool is behind a feature
flag, but once enabled is accessible through the tool bar. There's a
first-draft highlighter icon (i didn't spend much time on this, it's not
super legible on non-retina displays yet imo), and the tool is bound to
the `i` key (any better suggestions? `h` is taken by the hand tool)
### The plan
1. initial highlighter shape/tool #1401 **>you are here<**
2. sandwich rendering for highlighter shapes #1418
3. shape styling - new colours and sizes, lightweight perfect freehand
changes
### Change Type
- [x] `minor` — New Feature
### Test Plan
(not yet)
### Release Notes
[internal only change layout ground work for highlighter]
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!

[internal only change]
Fixes#1410
This PR adds custom SVGs for all cursor types.
This will unblock some upcoming collaboration features!
It also adds some basic debugging for custom cursors.
It uses custom cursors for any shape-related UI, like links.
But it sticks with the default browser cursors for the non-canvas UI.
### Change Type
- [x] `minor`
### Test Plan
1. Enable debug mode.
2. From the debug menu, enable "Debug cursors".
3. Hover the cursor over the shapes that appear.
4. Check that the cursor appears correctly over each one.
5. (Don't forget to turn off "Debug cursors" after use).
### Release Notes
- Added consistent custom cursors.
