docs: migrate demo to yhub collaboration on stable yjs 13 - #2987
Conversation
Swaps the y-partykit provider in the public demo for a y-websocket connection to yhub.teleportal.tools, staying on stable yjs 13 rather than the experimental @y/y v14 stack. Also fixes the demo's collaboration setup to go through withCollaboration(), which was required after the yjs/blocknote-core decoupling refactor but never applied here, leaving real-time sync silently non-functional. Fixes BLO-1317

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The collaboration provider can be destroyed and then reused during the app's Strict Mode lifecycle, while another connection may remain active without cleanup. This can cause the demo to disconnect or leak connections, so the change should be fixed before merging. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

The demo page no longer needs y-partykit after migrating to yhub, but the docs site also builds several unrelated Examples-gallery pages (partykit, comments-with-sidebar, ghost-writer, forking) that still import it directly, breaking the Vercel build when it was removed.
Addresses CodeRabbit review feedback on #2987: encodeURIComponent the hash-derived roomId before it's concatenated into the yhub WebSocket room path (avoids reserved characters like / and ? corrupting the path), and destroy() the WebsocketProvider on unmount/roomId change to stop the connection and remove event handlers instead of leaking them.

y-websocket 2.1.0 WebsocketProvider constructor connect default destroy source
💡 Result:
In y-websocket 2.1.0, the WebsocketProvider is initialized using the following constructor signature: new WebsocketProvider(serverUrl: string, room: string, ydoc: Y.Doc [, wsOpts: WsOpts]) [1][2][3] Key details regarding the requested methods and defaults include: Connect and Initialization By default, the WebsocketProvider attempts to establish a connection immediately upon instantiation [1][2][3]. This behavior is controlled by the connect property within the optional wsOpts configuration object [1][2]. - wsOpts.connect: Defaults to true. If set to false, the provider will not connect automatically, and you must manually call wsProvider.connect to establish the websocket connection [1][2][4]. - wsProvider.connect: This method can be called at any time to establish or re-establish a connection to the websocket server [5][4][6]. Destroying the Provider - wsProvider.destroy: This method is used to permanently shut down the provider instance [1][2][4]. Calling it disconnects from the server, removes all event listeners, and stops any further reconnection attempts [1][2][5][4]. Additional wsOpts Configuration Beyond the connect flag, the wsOpts object allows customization of several other parameters, including [1][2][3]: - params: An object of key-value pairs that are URL-encoded and appended to the serverUrl (e.g.,?auth=bearer) [1][3][4]. - WebSocketPolyfill: Allows providing a custom WebSocket implementation (e.g., the 'ws' package in Node.js environments) [1][2][4]. - awareness: Specifies an existing Awareness instance from y-protocols [1][2][3]. - maxBackoffTime: Sets the maximum interval (in milliseconds) between reconnection attempts during exponential backoff (defaults to 2500ms) [1][2][5].

React 19 Strict Mode useMemo calculation called twice initial mount effect setup cleanup reused memoized value
💡 Result:
In React 19, Strict Mode continues to assist in identifying impure code and side-effect issues during development by intentionally performing double-invocations [1][2]. However, there is a specific change regarding how hooks like useMemo and useCallback behave during these development-only double-renders [3][4][5]. Memoized value handling in React 19 Strict Mode: Unlike in previous versions, where the calculation function passed to useMemo would run twice during the initial mount, React 19 now reuses the memoized result from the first render during the second render [3][4][5]. This change ensures that components which are already Strict Mode compatible do not experience different behavior, while still maintaining the goal of surfacing impure code through other mechanisms [4]. Effect setup and cleanup: Strict Mode's fundamental behavior of remounting components remains unchanged [2]. In development, when a component mounts, React immediately unmounts it and then remounts it [2]. This process causes: 1. The effect setup to run. 2. The effect cleanup to run. 3. The effect setup to run again [2]. This pattern is designed to reveal issues where cleanup functions are missing or incomplete, ensuring that effects are resilient and production-ready [2]. If an effect lacks a proper cleanup function, the double-invocation can lead to bugs, such as orphaned event listeners or duplicate external connections, which helps developers identify and fix these issues early [2]. In summary, while the memoization logic for useMemo and useCallback has been optimized to reuse values across the double-render pass in React 19 [3][4], the effect mount-unmount-remount cycle remains a core mechanism of Strict Mode to proactively surface side-effect bugs [2].

site:react.dev/reference/react/StrictMode useMemo effect cleanup re-render development React 19
💡 Result:
In React 19, as in previous versions, useMemo does not have a cleanup function, nor is one expected [1][2]. The purpose of useMemo is to cache the result of a calculation during rendering; therefore, the function passed to it must be pure [1][3]. If you are observing unexpected re-renders or behavior related to useMemo, it is likely due to React's Strict Mode in development [1][2]. When Strict Mode is enabled, React intentionally runs your component's rendering logic—including functions passed to useMemo, useState, and useReducer—twice [1][4]. This double-invocation is a development-only feature designed to help you detect impure code and side effects in your rendering logic [1][2]. Key takeaways regarding this behavior: - Development vs. Production: This double-rendering behavior is strictly limited to development builds [2]. It does not occur in production and has no impact on your production application's performance or behavior [2]. - Purity Requirement: Because React may invoke your useMemo function multiple times, you must ensure it remains pure and does not perform side effects [1][3]. - Effect Cleanup vs. useMemo: If you need to perform side effects that require cleanup (such as subscriptions or manual DOM manipulations), you should use useEffect, which explicitly supports a cleanup function [1][3]. If you find that your useMemo calculation is running unexpectedly often, verify that its dependencies are stable and that you are not performing impure operations within the memoized function [1][2].

Move WebsocketProvider construction out of render.
new WebsocketProvider(...) runs in useMemo, and y-websocket connects by default. The docs app enables reactStrictMode. React 19 invokes the useMemo calculation twice and replays the Effect. The cleanup destroys the memoized provider, then the replay reuses that destroyed provider. The other provider remains connected without cleanup. destroy() disconnects the provider and removes its Yjs handlers.
Create the Y.Doc and provider in an Effect-owned lifecycle. Render the editor only after the pair exists. Destroy the same pair in that Effect cleanup. Add a Strict Mode mount test.

Summary
Migrates the public
/demopage's real-time collaboration fromy-partykittoyhub.teleportal.tools, using a plainy-websocketWebsocketProvideron stableyjsv13 (not the experimental@y/yv14 stack used by the existing YHub versioning examples).Rationale
Requested migration to yhub as the demo's collaboration backend, while staying on the stable
yjsv13 API surface. While testing, found that the demo'scollaborationoption was passed directly intouseCreateBlockNote()instead of being wrapped inwithCollaboration(), which is required since the yjs/blocknote-core decoupling refactor. As a result, real-time sync was silently broken on the live demo (ProseMirror updated locally, but nothing ever reached the underlyingY.Doc, so collaboration between clients never occurred) — this is the root cause behind BLO-1317. Fixed the wiring alongside the provider swap.Changes
YPartyKitProviderwithy-websocket'sWebsocketProvider, connecting towss://yhub.teleportal.tools/api/ws/v1.withCollaboration()(from@blocknote/core/yjs) so the Yjs sync/cursor/undo extensions actually attach.y-partykitdependency fromdocs/package.json.Impact
Fixes real-time collaboration on the public demo page, which was silently non-functional. No API changes to BlockNote packages themselves.
Testing
Manually verified in two browser tabs against the live
yhub.teleportal.toolsserver: late-joining clients receive existing content, and concurrent edits propagate live between tabs. Ranpnpm run lintclean.Checklist
