This PR:
- replaces the `shareZone` prop with `SharePanel` component
- replaces the `topZone` prop with `TopPanel` components
- replaces the `Button` component with `TldrawUiButton` and
subcomponents
- adds `TldrawUi` prefix to our primitives
- fixes a couple of bugs with the components
### Change Type
- [x] `major` — Breaking change
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.
# Progress

### Change Type

- [x] Unit Tests
- [ ] End to end tests
### Release Notes

#2720
This PR makes it so that the editor defaults to the hand tool in read
only mode
### Change Type
- [x] `minor` — New feature
### Test Plan
1. Open the editor in readonly mode
2. It should default to the hand tool
### Release Notes
- Shared projects in read only mode now default to the hand tool
This PR changes the way that viewport bounds are calculated by using the
canvas element as the source of truth, rather than the container. This
allows for cases where the canvas is not the same dimensions as the
component. (Given the way our UI and context works, there are cases
where this is desired, i.e. toolbars and other items overlaid on top of
the canvas area).
The editor's `getContainer` is now only used for the text measurement.
It would be good to get that out somehow.
# Pros
We can inset the canvas
# Cons
We can no longer imperatively call `updateScreenBounds`, as we need to
provide those bounds externally.
### Change Type
- [x] `major` — Breaking change
### Test Plan
1. Use the examples, including the new inset canvas example.
- [x] Unit Tests
### Release Notes
- Changes the source of truth for the viewport page bounds to be the
canvas instead.
Biome as it is now didn't work out for us 😢
Summary for posterity:
* it IS much, much faster, fast enough to skip any sort of caching
* we couldn't fully replace Prettier just yet. We use Prettier
programmatically to format code in docs, and Biome's JS interface is
officially alpha and [had legacy peer deps
set](https://github.com/biomejs/biome/pull/1756) (which would fail our
CI build as we don't allow installation warnings)
* ternary formatting differs from Prettier, leading to a large diff
https://github.com/biomejs/biome/issues/1661
* import sorting differs from Prettier's
`prettier-plugin-organize-imports`, making the diff even bigger
* the deal breaker is a multi-second delay on saving large files (for us
it's
[Editor.ts](https://github.com/tldraw/tldraw/blob/main/packages/editor/src/lib/editor/Editor.ts))
in VSCode when import sorting is enabled. There is a seemingly relevant
Biome issue where I posted a small summary of our findings:
https://github.com/biomejs/biome/issues/1569#issuecomment-1930411623
Further actions:
* reevaluate in a few months as Biome matures
### Change Type
- [x] `internal` — Any other changes that don't affect the published
package
Biome seems to be MUCH faster than Prettier. Unfortunately, it
introduces some formatting changes around the ternary operator, so we
have to update files in the repo. To make revert easier if we need it,
the change is split into two PRs. This PR introduces a Biome CI check
and reformats all files accordingly.
## Change Type
- [x] `minor` — New feature
A few things happening here
- Delete our service worker. Turns out that a couple of years back
browsers decided that a service worker is no longer required for a PWA
so you can just have the manifest and still install on the user's
device.
- Cache tldraw's assets as part of the dotcom vite asset pipeline. This
allows them to participate in the asset coalescing (preserving old
versions of asset files so old clients don't stop working when you
deploy new versions of things, see
https://github.com/tldraw/brivate/pull/3132 for more context).
- Add a new 'imports.vite.js' file to the assets package, because we
import a bunch of json translation files, and vite imports .json files
as parsed json objects instead of string urls, and there's no good way
to tell it not to. Even if there was we wouldn't want to impose that
config on our users. So another way to tell vite to load any asset as a
url string is to append `?url` to the end of the import path. That's
what this file does.
closes [#2486](https://github.com/tldraw/tldraw/issues/2486)
### Change Type
- [x] `minor` — New feature
[^1]: publishes a `patch` release, for devDependencies use `internal`
[^2]: will not publish a new version
### Release Notes
- Fix 'could not load assets' error that we often see on tldraw.com
after a deploy
This PR moves the tldraw.com app into the public repo.
### Change Type
- [x] `internal` — Any other changes that don't affect the published
package[^2]
