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

* 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/record

This package contains all the record related code in rrweb. See the guide for more info on rrweb.

Installation

npm install @rrweb/record
import { record } from '@rrweb/record';

2) Browser Without Bundler (ESM + import maps)

<script type="importmap">
  {
    "imports": {
      "@rrweb/record": "https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@rrweb/record@latest/+esm"
    }
  }
</script>
<script type="module">
  import { record } from '@rrweb/record';
</script>

3) Legacy Direct <script> Include (UMD fallback)

Use this only for compatibility with non-module environments.

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@rrweb/record@latest/umd/record.min.js"></script>

The legacy UMD global is rrwebRecord.

Usage

import { record } from '@rrweb/record';

record({
  emit(event) {
    // send event to server
  },
});

Notes

Currently this package is really just a wrapper around the record function in the main rrweb package. All record related code will get moved here in the future.
