@rerun-io/web-viewer NPM

Rerun web viewer

Embed the Rerun web viewer within your app.

This package is framework-agnostic. A React wrapper is available at https://www.npmjs.com/package/@rerun-io/web-viewer-react.

Install

$ npm i @rerun-io/web-viewer

ℹ️ Note: The package version is equal to the supported Rerun SDK version. This means that @rerun-io/web-viewer@0.10.0 can only connect to a data source (.rrd file, websocket connection, etc.) that originates from a Rerun SDK with version 0.10.0!

Usage

The web viewer is an object which manages a canvas element:

import { WebViewer } from "@rerun-io/web-viewer";

const rrd = "…";
const parentElement = document.body;

const viewer = new WebViewer();
await viewer.start(rrd, parentElement);
// …
viewer.stop();

The rrd in the snippet above should be a URL pointing to either:

A hosted .rrd file, such as https://app.rerun.io/version/0.16.0/examples/dna.rrd
A WebSocket connection to the SDK opened via the serve API

If rrd is not set, the Viewer will display the same welcome screen as https://app.rerun.io.

ℹ️ Note: This package only targets recent versions of browsers. If your target browser does not support Wasm imports or top-level await, you may need to install additional plugins for your bundler.
