rrweb refers to 'record and replay the web', which is a tool for recording and replaying users' interactions on the web.
Currently, rrweb has already solved many difficult problems in recording and replaying, but the data structure may still be changed before the release of Version 1.0. So please be cautious to use rrweb in the production environment.
Guide
Project Structure
rrweb is mainly composed of 3 parts:
- rrweb-snapshot, including both snapshot and rebuilding features. The snapshot is used to convert the DOM and its state into a serializable data structure with an unique identifier; the rebuilding feature is to rebuild the snapshot into corresponding DOM.
- rrweb, including two functions, record and replay. The record function is used to record all the mutations in the DOM; the replay is to replay the recorded mutations one by one according to the corresponding timestamp.
- rrweb-player, is a player UI for rrweb, providing GUI-based functions like pause, fast-forward, drag and drop to play at any time.
Roadmap
- rrweb

- use TraceKit to log exception events
Internal Design
Contribute Guide
Since we want the record and replay sides to share a strongly typed data structure, rrweb is developed with typescript which provides stronger type support.
- Fork the rrweb component repository you want to patch.
- Run
npm installto install required dependencies. - Patch the code and pass all the tests.
- Push the code and create a pull request.
In addition to adding integration tests and unit tests, rrweb also provides a REPL testing tool.
