Example

import { createTLSchema, defaultShapeSchemas } from '@tldraw/tlschema'

// Use all default shapes
const schema = createTLSchema({
  shapes: defaultShapeSchemas,
})

// Use only specific default shapes
const minimalSchema = createTLSchema({
  shapes: {
    geo: defaultShapeSchemas.geo,
    text: defaultShapeSchemas.text,
  },
})
