## 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

Currently, we only use native `structuredClone` in the browser, falling
back to `JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(...))` elsewhere, despite Node
supporting `structuredClone` [since
v17](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/structuredClone)
and Cloudflare Workers supporting it [since
2022](https://blog.cloudflare.com/standards-compliant-workers-api/).
This PR adjusts our shim to use the native `structuredClone` on all
platforms, if available.
Additionally, `jsdom` doesn't implement `structuredClone`, a bug [open
since 2022](https://github.com/jsdom/jsdom/issues/3363). This PR patches
`jsdom` environment in all packages/apps that use it for tests.
Also includes a driveby removal of `deepCopy`, a function that is
strictly inferior to `structuredClone`.

This PR does a few things to help with performance:
1. Instead of doing changes on raf we now do them 60 times per second.
This limits the number of updates on high refresh rate screens like the
iPad. With the current code this only applied to the history updates (so
when you subscribed to the updates), but the next point takes this a bit
futher.
2. We now trigger react updates 60 times per second. This is a change in
`useValue` and `useStateTracking` hooks.
3. We now throttle the inputs (like the `pointerMove`) in state nodes.
This means we batch multiple inputs and only apply them at most 60 times
per second.
We had to adjust our own tests to pass after this change so I marked
this as major as it might require the users of the library to do the
same.
Few observations:
- The browser calls the raf callbacks when it can. If it gets
overwhelmed it will call them further and further apart. As things call
down it will start calling them more frequently again. You can clearly
see this in the drawing example. When fps gets to a certain level we
start to get fewer updates, then fps can recover a bit. This makes the
experience quite janky. The updates can be kinda ok one second (dropping
frames, but consistently) and then they can completely stop and you have
to let go of the mouse to make them happen again. With the new logic it
seems everything is a lot more consistent.
- We might look into variable refresh rates to prevent this overtaxing
of the browser. Like when we see that the times between our updates are
getting higher we could make the updates less frequent. If we then see
that they are happening more often we could ramp them back up. I had an
[experiment for this
here](4834863966 (diff-318e71563d7c47173f89ec084ca44417cf70fc72faac85b96f48b856a8aec466L30-L35)).
Few tests below. Used 6x slowdown for these.

Comparison is not 100% fair, we don't store the intermediate inputs
right now. That said, tick should still only produce once update so I do
think we can get a sense of the differences.

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 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

Closes#2800
This PR makes it so that `check-scripts` will error out if you forget to
add a "references" entry to a tsconfig file when adding an internal
dependency in our monorepo.
If these project references are missed it can prevent TS from
building/rebuilding things when they need to be built/rebuilt.

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 is part of a series - please don't merge it until the things

I went through the sync room code today while thinking about syncing. As
I worked through it, I added some comments etc for my own readability.
There is no change in how the code works.
There are a few functions declared in the body of `handlePushRequest`.
We might want to re-arrange things so that we're not re-declaring those
on each push (there are a LOT of pushes, basically every mouse move from
every client). I did try that but reverted that change; it feels like a
proper solution would be bigger than what I wanted to do here.
### Change Type

@si14 you might know a better way to wire this up! lemme know if there's
something more clever here.
### Change Type
- [x] `internal` — Any other changes that don't affect the published

### Release Notes
- Adds easier testing command for individual packages.
Occasionally the auto-built items, such as Sections.json, will be
flagged as having changes in a commit. This is because we generate that
file using spaces but our formatting uses tabs.
This PR changes all JSON.stringify({}, null, 2) to JSON.stringify({},
null, '\t'). Problem solved!
### Change Type
- [x] `patch` — Bug fix
Improves duplication. It will now remember the offset and shapes of your
`alt + drag` duplication and use that if you use the duplicate action
immediately after this.

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.
