Justin Halsall aab4c553cb docs: revamp installation docs for esm and umd (#1788)
* docs: revamp installation docs for esm and umd

Document recommended install paths across the main guides and package
READMEs for rrweb, @rrweb/all, @rrweb/record, @rrweb/replay, and
rrweb-player.

Clarify three usage modes: bundler/npm, browser no-build with
import maps and +esm, and legacy UMD fallback.

* Apply suggestions from code review

Co-authored-by: Copilot <175728472+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

* Apply formatting changes

* Apply suggestion from @eoghanmurray

Co-authored-by: Eoghan Murray <eoghan@getthere.ie>

* Apply formatting changes

* docs(all): streamline README usage section

Move the guide link next to the import example and remove the
duplicated Usage section to keep docs concise and easier to scan.

* docs(readme): update gzip size badges in zh-cn readme

* docs(plugins): update readme imports to scoped esm packages

Replace `rrweb` default imports and `rrweb.Replayer` usage with
`@rrweb/record` `record` and `@rrweb/replay` `Replayer` in plugin
usage examples.

Also update canvas WebRTC plugin imports to scoped `@rrweb/*`
package names to keep docs aligned with current package structure.

* docs: update docs to prefer scoped esm packages

replace `rrweb` default import examples with `@rrweb/record` and
`@rrweb/replay` across recipes and guides in en/zh-CN.

clarify package selection for new integrations, add `@rrweb/all`
convenience guidance, and refresh CDN/style import snippets for ESM and legacy UMD compatibility.

# rrweb-player
Since rrweb's replayer only provides a basic UI, you can choose rrweb-replayer which is based on rrweb's public APIs but has a feature-rich replayer UI.
## How is this different from `rrweb.Replayer`?
rrweb-player uses rrweb's Replayer under the hood, but as Replayer doesn't include any UI for controls, rrweb-player adds those.
## Installation
### 1) Bundler / npm (Recommended)
```shell
npm install rrweb-player
```
```js
import rrwebPlayer from 'rrweb-player';
import 'rrweb-player/dist/style.css';
```
### 2) Browser Without Bundler (ESM + import maps)
```html
<link
rel="stylesheet"
href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/rrweb-player@latest/dist/style.css"
/>
<script type="importmap">
{
"imports": {
"rrweb-player": "https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/rrweb-player@latest/+esm"
}
}
</script>
<script type="module">
import rrwebPlayer from 'rrweb-player';
</script>
```
### 3) Legacy Direct `<script>` Include (UMD fallback)
Use this only for compatibility with non-module environments.
```html
<link
rel="stylesheet"
href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/rrweb-player@latest/dist/style.css"
/>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/rrweb-player@latest/umd/rrweb-player.min.js"></script>
```
## Usage
```js
new rrwebPlayer({
target: document.body, // customizable root element
props: {
events,
},
});
```
## Options
| key | default | description |
| -------------- | ------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| events | [] | the events for replaying |
| width | 1024 | the width of the replayer |
| height | 576 | the height of the replayer |
| maxScale | 1 | the maximum scale of the replayer (1 = 100%), set to 0 for unlimited |
| autoPlay | true | whether to autoplay |
| speed | 1 | The default speed to play at |
| speedOption | [1, 2, 4, 8] | speed options in UI |
| showController | true | whether to show the controller UI |
| tags | {} | customize the custom events style with a key-value map |
| inactiveColor | #D4D4D4 | Customize the color of inactive periods indicator in the progress bar with a valid CSS color string. |
| ... | - | all the [rrweb Replayer options](https://github.com/rrweb-io/rrweb/blob/master/guide.md#options-1) will be bypassed |
## methods on the rrwebPlayer component
```ts
addEventListener(event: string, handler: (params: any) => unknown): void;

```
Go to a point in time and pause or play from then
