### Breaking changes
- Renamed the `excalidrawAPI` prop to `onExcalidrawAPI`.
- `onExcalidrawAPI` is now called on mount (instead of during constructor), and later on unmount (with `null` value). The API may be removed altogether in the future (you can use `onMount` & `onUmount` to manage the `ExcalidrawAPI` object (e.g. to cache it to a global state), already).
### Features
- Added `onMount` and `onInitialize` props. `onMount` receives `{ excalidrawAPI, container }` once the editor root is mounted, and `onInitialize` fires once the initial scene has loaded.
- Added `ExcalidrawAPI.isDestroyed` flag. Set to `true` once the editor unmounts. Calling any `get*` method, `onStateChange`, or `onEvent` on a destroyed API instance will throw in development and `console.error` in production. The `ExcalidrawAPI` will be reset to `null` on umount, but to be extra safe, you should check `ExcalidrawAPI.isDestroyed` before calling these methods to guard against subtle race conditions in your code.
```tsx
<Excalidraw
onMount={({ excalidrawAPI, container }) => {
console.log(container);
excalidrawAPI.scrollToContent();
}}
onInitialize={(api) => {
api.refresh();
}}
/>
```
- Added `onMount`, `onInitialize`, and `onUnmount` props. `onMount` receives `{ excalidrawAPI, container }` once the editor root is mounted. `onInitialize` fires once the initial scene has loaded. `onUnmount` fires just before unmounting.
- Same events are also accessible imperatively through `api.onEvent(...)`.

- Exported `ExcalidrawAPIProvider`, `useExcalidrawAPI`, and `useAppStateValue` from the package entrypoint. The imperative API also now exposes `onStateChange`.
- Also added `"editor:unmount"` lifecycle event, only accessible via `api.onEvent("editor:unmount")`.
- Exported `<ExcalidrawAPIProvider/>`, `useExcalidrawAPI()`, `useAppStateValue(prop | props | selectorFunction)`, and `useOnExcalidrawStateChange(prop | props | selectorFunction, callback)` from the package. The imperative API also now exposes `onStateChange(prop | props | selectorFunction, callback?)`, and `onEvent(name, callback)`.
