This PR makes a small improvement to the way we measure distances.
(Often we measure distances multiple times per frame per shape on the
screen). In many cases, we compare a minimum distance. This makes those
checks faster by avoiding a square root.
### Change Type
- [x] `sdk` — Changes the tldraw SDK
- [x] `improvement` — Improving existing features
### Release Notes
- Improve performance of minimum distance checks.
This PR adds a "long press" event that fires when pointing for more than
500ms. This event is used in the same way that dragging is used (e.g. to
transition to from pointing_selection to translating) but only on
desktop. On mobile, long presses are used to open the context menu.
## Background
This idea came out of @TodePond's #3208 PR. We use a "dead zone" to
avoid accidentally moving / rotating things when clicking on them, which
is especially common on mobile if a dead zone feature isn't implemented.
However, this makes it difficult to make "fine adjustments" because you
need to drag out of the dead zone (to start translating) and then drag
back to where you want to go.
With this change, you can long press on desktop to get to that
translating state. It's a micro UX optimization but especially nice if
apps want to display different UI for "dragging" shapes before the user
leaves the dead zone.

This PR fixes an issue where events happening on tick were not batched.
We were listening to the `tick` event directly from the state node,
rather than passing the event into the state chart at the top. This
meant that it was bypassing the regular state chart rules, which was
what got me looking at this; but then I noticed that we also weren't
batching the changes, either. This causes computed stuff to re-compute
after each atom is updated within the `onTick` handler, which can be a
LOT.

### Test Plan
1. Select many shapes.
2. Resize them.
### Release Notes
- Fix a performance issue effecting resizing multiple shapes.
This PR adds the docs app back into the tldraw monorepo.
## Deploying
We'll want to update our deploy script to update the SOURCE_SHA to the
newest release sha... and then deploy the docs pulling api.json files
from that release. We _could_ update the docs on every push to main, but
we don't have to unless something has changed. Right now there's no
automated deployments from this repo.
## Side effects
To make this one work, I needed to update the lock file. This might be
ok (new year new lock file), and everything builds as expected, though
we may want to spend some time with our scripts to be sure that things
are all good.
I also updated our prettier installation, which decided to add trailing
commas to every generic type. Which is, I suppose, [correct
behavior](https://github.com/prettier/prettier-vscode/issues/955)? But
that caused diffs in every file, which is unfortunate.

This PR fixes some cases where, if a member function (like `onEnter`)
was not an arrow function, it would not run.
### Change Type
- [x] `patch` — Bug fix
This PR is a significant rewrite of our selection / hit testing logic.
It
- replaces our current geometric helpers (`getBounds`, `getOutline`,
`hitTestPoint`, and `hitTestLineSegment`) with a new geometry API
- moves our hit testing entirely to JS using geometry
- improves selection logic, especially around editing shapes, groups and
frames
- fixes many minor selection bugs (e.g. shapes behind frames)
- removes hit-testing DOM elements from ShapeFill etc.
- adds many new tests around selection
- adds new tests around selection
- makes several superficial changes to surface editor APIs
This PR is hard to evaluate. The `selection-omnibus` test suite is
intended to describe all of the selection behavior, however all existing
tests are also either here preserved and passing or (in a few cases
around editing shapes) are modified to reflect the new behavior.
## Geometry
All `ShapeUtils` implement `getGeometry`, which returns a single
geometry primitive (`Geometry2d`). For example:
```ts
class BoxyShapeUtil {
getGeometry(shape: BoxyShape) {
return new Rectangle2d({
width: shape.props.width,
height: shape.props.height,
isFilled: true,
margin: shape.props.strokeWidth
})
}
}
```
This geometric primitive is used for all bounds calculation, hit
testing, intersection with arrows, etc.
There are several geometric primitives that extend `Geometry2d`:
- `Arc2d`
- `Circle2d`
- `CubicBezier2d`
- `CubicSpline2d`
- `Edge2d`
- `Ellipse2d`
- `Group2d`
- `Polygon2d`
- `Rectangle2d`
- `Stadium2d`
For shapes that have more complicated geometric representations, such as
an arrow with a label, the `Group2d` can accept other primitives as its
children.
## Hit testing
Previously, we did all hit testing via events set on shapes and other
elements. In this PR, I've replaced those hit tests with our own
calculation for hit tests in JavaScript. This removed the need for many
DOM elements, such as hit test area borders and fills which only existed
to trigger pointer events.
## Selection
We now support selecting "hollow" shapes by clicking inside of them.
This involves a lot of new logic but it should work intuitively. See
`Editor.getShapeAtPoint` for the (thoroughly commented) implementation.
every sunset is actually the sun hiding in fear and respect of tldraw's
quality of interactions
This PR also fixes several bugs with scribble selection, in particular
around the shift key modifier.
...as well as issues with labels and editing.
There are **over 100 new tests** for selection covering groups, frames,
brushing, scribbling, hovering, and editing. I'll add a few more before
I feel comfortable merging this PR.
## Arrow binding
Using the same "hollow shape" logic as selection, arrow binding is
significantly improved.
a thousand wise men could not improve on this
## Moving focus between editing shapes
Previously, this was handled in the `editing_shapes` state. This is
moved to `useEditableText`, and should generally be considered an
advanced implementation detail on a shape-by-shape basis. This addresses
a bug that I'd never noticed before, but which can be reproduced by
selecting an shape—but not focusing its input—while editing a different
shape. Previously, the new shape became the editing shape but its input
did not focus.
In this PR, you can select a shape by clicking on its edge or body, or
select its input to transfer editing / focus.

### Release Notes
- [editor] Remove `ShapeUtil.getBounds`, `ShapeUtil.getOutline`,

- [editor] Add `Editor.getShapeGeometry`
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`

We'd like to make the @tldraw/editor layer more independent of specific
shapes. Unfortunately there are many places where shape types and
certain shape behavior is deeply embedded in the Editor. This PR begins
to refactor out dependencies between the editor library and shape utils.
It does this in two ways:
- removing shape utils from the arguments of `isShapeOfType`, replacing
with a generic
- removing shape utils from the arguments of `getShapeUtil`, replacing
with a generic
- moving custom arrow info cache out of the util and into the editor
class
- changing the a tool's `shapeType` to be a string instead of a shape
util
We're here trading type safety based on inferred types—"hey editor, give
me your instance of this shape util class"—for knowledge at the point of
call—"hey editor, give me a shape util class of this type; and trust me
it'll be an instance this shape util class". Likewise for shapes.
### A note on style
We haven't really established our conventions or style when it comes to
types, but I'm increasingly of the opinion that we should defer to the
point of call to narrow a type based on generics (keeping the types in
typescript land) rather than using arguments, which blur into JavaScript
land.
### Change Type

- changes the a tool's `shapeType` to be a string instead of a shape
util

Removes `propsForNextShape` and replaces it with the new styles API.
Changes in here:
- New custom style example
- `setProp` is now `setStyle` and takes a `StyleProp` instead of a
string
- `Editor.props` and `Editor.opacity` are now `Editor.sharedStyles` and
`Editor.sharedOpacity`
- They return an object that flags mixed vs shared types instead of
using null to signal mixed types
- `Editor.styles` returns a `SharedStyleMap` - keyed on `StyleProp`
instead of `string`
- `StateNode.shapeType` is now the shape util rather than just a string.
This lets us pull the styles from the shape type directly.
- `color` is no longer a core part of the editor set on the shape
parent. Individual child shapes have to use color directly.
- `propsForNextShape` is now `stylesForNextShape`
- `InstanceRecordType` is created at runtime in the same way
`ShapeRecordType` is. This is so it can pull style validators out of
shape defs for `stylesForNextShape`
- Shape type are now defined by their props rather than having separate
validators & type defs

This change hoists opacity out of props and changes it to a number
instead of an enum.
The change to a number is to make tldraw more flexible for library
consumers who might want more expressivity with opacity than our 5
possible values allow. the tldraw editor will now happily respect any
opacity between 0 and 1. The limit to our supported values is enforced
only in the UI. I think this is limited enough that it's a reasonable
tradeoff between in-app simplicity and giving external developers the
flexibility they need.
There's a new `opacityForNextShape` property on the instance. This works
exactly the same way as propsForNextShape does, except... it's just for
opacity. With this, there should be no user-facing changes to how
opacity works in tldraw. There are also new `opacity`/`setOpacity` APIs
in the editor that work with it/selections similar to how props do.
