Local development

npm i -g corepack

Install dependencies:

yarn

Start the local development server:

yarn dev

Open the example project at localhost:5420.

Tips for AIs

Are you an AI agent? If so, this monorepo has special CONTEXT.md files found throughout the repository that you can use to quickly build context while you work. Use your own tools to find and read these files, or use our helpful context script to locate and log the contents of the most relevant files.

To get started quickly, run:

yarn context

This will find and display the nearest CONTEXT.md file to help you understand the codebase. The context script supports several options:

  • yarn context - Show path to nearest CONTEXT.md from current directory
  • yarn context ./foo/bar/baz.ts - Show path to nearest CONTEXT.md for a specific file or directory
  • yarn context -v or --verbose - Show full content of nearest CONTEXT.md
  • yarn context -r or --recursive - Find all CONTEXT.md files in the repository

License

The tldraw SDK is provided under the tldraw license.

You can use the tldraw SDK in commercial or non-commercial projects so long as you preserve the "Made with tldraw" watermark on the canvas. To remove the watermark, you can purchase a business license. Visit tldraw.dev to learn more.
