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 PR moves code between our packages so that:
- @tldraw/editor is a “core” library with the engine and canvas but no
shapes, tools, or other things
- @tldraw/tldraw contains everything particular to the experience we’ve
built for tldraw
At first look, this might seem like a step away from customization and
configuration, however I believe it greatly increases the configuration
potential of the @tldraw/editor while also providing a more accurate
reflection of what configuration options actually exist for
@tldraw/tldraw.
## Library changes
@tldraw/editor re-exports its dependencies and @tldraw/tldraw re-exports
@tldraw/editor.
- users of @tldraw/editor WITHOUT @tldraw/tldraw should almost always
only import things from @tldraw/editor.
- users of @tldraw/tldraw should almost always only import things from
@tldraw/tldraw.
- @tldraw/polyfills is merged into @tldraw/editor
- @tldraw/indices is merged into @tldraw/editor
- @tldraw/primitives is merged mostly into @tldraw/editor, partially
into @tldraw/tldraw
- @tldraw/file-format is merged into @tldraw/tldraw
- @tldraw/ui is merged into @tldraw/tldraw
Many (many) utils and other code is moved from the editor to tldraw. For
example, embeds now are entirely an feature of @tldraw/tldraw. The only
big chunk of code left in core is related to arrow handling.
## API Changes
The editor can now be used without tldraw's assets. We load them in
@tldraw/tldraw instead, so feel free to use whatever fonts or images or
whatever that you like with the editor.
All tools and shapes (except for the `Group` shape) are moved to
@tldraw/tldraw. This includes the `select` tool.
You should use the editor with at least one tool, however, so you now
also need to send in an `initialState` prop to the Editor /
<TldrawEditor> component indicating which state the editor should begin
in.
The `components` prop now also accepts `SelectionForeground`.
The complex selection component that we use for tldraw is moved to
@tldraw/tldraw. The default component is quite basic but can easily be
replaced via the `components` prop. We pass down our tldraw-flavored
SelectionFg via `components`.
Likewise with the `Scribble` component: the `DefaultScribble` no longer
uses our freehand tech and is a simple path instead. We pass down the
tldraw-flavored scribble via `components`.
The `ExternalContentManager` (`Editor.externalContentManager`) is
removed and replaced with a mapping of types to handlers.
- Register new content handlers with
`Editor.registerExternalContentHandler`.
- Register new asset creation handlers (for files and URLs) with
`Editor.registerExternalAssetHandler`

This PR adds a `meta` property to shapes and other records.
It adds it to:
- asset
- camera
- document
- instance
- instancePageState
- instancePresence
- page
- pointer
- rootShape
## Setting meta
This data can generally be added wherever you would normally update the
corresponding record.
An exception exists for shapes, which can be updated using a partial of
the `meta` in the same way that we update shapes with a partial of
`props`.
```ts
this.updateShapes([{
id: myShape.id,
type: "geo",
meta: {
nemesis: "steve",
special: true
}
])
```
## `Editor.getInitialMetaForShape`
The `Editor.getInitialMetaForShape` method is kind of a hack to set the
initial meta property for newly created shapes. You can set it
externally. Escape hatch!

### Release Notes

Based on #1549, but with a lot of code-structure related changes backed
out. Shape schemas are still defined in tlschemas with this diff.
Couple differences between this and #1549:
- This tightens up the relationship between store schemas and editor
schemas a bit
- Reduces the number of places we need to remember to include core
shapes
- Only `<TLdrawEditor />` sets default shapes by default. If you're
doing something funky with lower-level APIs, you need to specify
`defaultShapes` manually
- Replaces `validator` with `props` for shapes

### Release Notes
[dev-facing, notes to come]
This PR improves the editor's APIs around creating assets and files.
This allows end user developers to replace behavior that might occur,
for example, when pasting images or dragging files onto the canvas.
Here, we:
- remove `onCreateAssetFromFile` prop
- remove `onCreateBookmarkFromUrl` prop
- introduce `onEditorReady` prop
- introduce `onEditorWillDispose` prop
- introduce `ExternalContentManager`
The `ExternalContentManager` (ECM) is used in circumstances where we're
turning external content (text, images, urls, etc) into assets or
shapes. It is designed to allow certain methods to be overwritten by
other developers as a kind of weakly supported hack.
For example, when a user drags an image onto the canvas, the event
handler passes a `TLExternalContent` object to the editor's
`putExternalContent` method. This method runs the ECM's handler for this
content type. That handler may in turn run other methods, such as
`createAssetFromFile` or `createShapesForAssets`, which will lead to the
image being created on the canvas.
If a developer wanted to change the way that assets are created from
files, then they could overwrite that method at runtime.
```ts
const handleEditorReady = (editor: Editor) => {
editor.externalContentManager.createAssetFromFile = myHandler
}
function Example() {
return <Tldraw onEditorReady={handleEditorReady}/>
}
```
If you wanted to go even deeper, you could override the editor's
`putExternalContent` method.
```ts
const handleEditorReady = (editor: Editor) => {
const handleExternalContent = (info: TLExternalContent): Promise<void> => {
if (info.type === 'files') {
// do something here
} else {
// do the normal thing
editor.externalContentManager.handleContent(info)
}
}
```
### Change Type
- [x] `major`
### Test Plan
1. Drag images, urls, etc. onto the canvas
2. Use copy and paste for single and multiple files
3. Use bookmark / embed shapes and convert between eachother
### Release Notes
- [editor] add `ExternalContentManager` for plopping content onto the
canvas
- [editor] remove `onCreateAssetFromFile` prop
- [editor] remove `onCreateBookmarkFromUrl` prop
- [editor] introduce `onEditorReady` prop
- [editor] introduce `onEditorWillDispose` prop
- [editor] introduce `ExternalContentManager`
This PR
- Removes UserDocumentRecordType
- moving isSnapMode to user preferences
- moving isGridMode and isPenMode to InstanceRecordType
- deleting the other properties which are no longer needed.
- Creates a separate pipeline for persisting instance state.
Previously the instance state records were stored alongside the document
state records, and in order to load the state for a particular instance
(in our case, a particular tab) you needed to pass the 'instanceId'
prop. This prop ended up totally pervading the public API and people ran
into all kinds of issues with it, e.g. using the same instance id in
multiple editor instances.
There was also an issue whereby it was hard for us to clean up old
instance state so the idb table ended up bloating over time.
This PR makes it so that rather than passing an instanceId, you load the
instance state yourself while creating the store. It provides tools to
make that easy.
- Undoes the assumption that we might have more than one instance's
state in the store.
- Like `document`, `instance` now has a singleton id
`instance:instance`.
- Page state ids and camera ids are no longer random, but rather derive
from the page they belong to. This is like having a foreign primary key
in SQL databases. It's something i'd love to support fully as part of
the RecordType/Store api.
Tests to do
- [x] Test Migrations
- [x] Test Store.listen filtering
- [x] Make type sets in Store public and readonly
- [x] Test RecordType.createId
- [x] Test Instance state snapshot loading/exporting
- [x] Manual test File I/O
- [x] Manual test Vscode extension with multiple tabs
- [x] Audit usages of store.query
- [x] Audit usages of changed types: InstanceRecordType, 'instance',
InstancePageStateRecordType, 'instance_page_state', 'user_document',
'camera', CameraRecordType, InstancePresenceRecordType,
'instance_presence'
- [x] Test user preferences
- [x] Manual test isSnapMode and isGridMode and isPenMode
- [ ] Test indexedDb functions
- [x] Add instanceId stuff back

### Release Notes
- Rename `App` to `Editor` and many other things that reference `app` to
`editor`.
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.

The assets package now only exports esm-formatted .js files. There's one
for each strategy - import-based, and meta.url-based. These are directly
generated as .js and .d.ts files rather than generated as .ts and
converted to js/dts through other means.
As this package depends on esm-specific stuff to function, we don't
publish a cjs version any more.
