Issue

All shapes need to be able to create a Text field inside them on double click (i initially thought it was only box's only lol)

Solution

textbox has a Text field which also requires a document object so shapeComponent now has a document object but unlike textbox it is optionally so it is only created when the user double clicks on the object, itll also work on old shapes too as it creates the document prior to mapping to canvas

Risk

nothing from here has caused errors on my end, there is an inherent problem with textbox's being able to be letter spammed beyond their width, and furthermore there is the fact that on ellipses you can go outside the circular shape but i believe the user should be allowed freedom to extend the text beyond the limits of the shape if they wish so im not changing that, though it is noted

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Box, ellipse, and speech canvas components now support editable text. The shared wrapper initializes documents and forwards editing events. The visual pipeline and topbar now handle text-enabled shapes.

Changes

Text-enabled shape authoring

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shape text contract and wrapper
frontend/src/features/authoring/types.ts, frontend/src/features/authoring/components/AddText.tsx
ShapeComponent now accepts an optional ModelDocument. addText initializes missing documents, renders editable text, and forwards double-click events.
Canvas shape mappings and defaults
frontend/src/features/authoring/canvas/Canvas.tsx, frontend/src/features/authoring/scene/operations/component.ts
Canvas uses text-enabled wrappers for box, ellipse, and speech components. Speech defaults include a placeholder document structure.
Document pipeline and text controls
frontend/src/features/authoring/pipeline.ts, frontend/src/features/authoring/topbar/Topbar.tsx
The pipeline transforms documented shapes, preserves zero coordinate values, and defaults missing padding to 0. Topbar text controls render for selected components with text.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 3c085

This change enables text editing inside all shapes, but existing document-less shapes may still fail during top-bar rendering and text can remain hidden when it is stored beyond the first block or span. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up on these bounded correctness issues.

- Around line 41-45: Update the bounds preparation around getRelativeBounds and
pad so zero padding returns the original component.bounds.verts without
normalization. In pad, preserve coordinates whose value is zero instead of
computing val / Math.abs(val), while retaining normalization for nonzero
coordinates so zero-width and zero-height shapes never produce NaN vertices.

I am a disliker of this approach ☹️. It doesn't allow us to extend the system further than the simplest case that's implemented here, iykwim.

Revised: can we extend this further so that text within all elements is treated equally to text within a textbox?

  1. Toolbar should show text style options when a shape with text is selected
  2. Long words should wrap to shape
  3. Shape text should default to being vertically and horizontally centred inside the shape.
