ReplayWeb.page is a static web site / offline web app + Electron app.
This repository contains the frontend UI for the replay system, while the backend is provided via a service worker implementation found at: https://github.com/webrecorder/wabac.js
The frontend is loaded from ui.js, while the backend service/web worker is loaded from sw.js.
This repository contains:
- The built assets for the site hosted at https://replayweb.page/ via GitHub Pages
- The package for npm module: https://www.npmjs.com/package/replaywebpage
- A build system for https://replayweb.page and ReplayWeb.page App.
- Docs hosted at: https://replayweb.page/docs
- App releases at: https://github.com/webrecorder/replayweb.page/releases
To run ReplayWeb.page and view web archives, a regular HTTP server is all that is needed.
ReplayWeb.page can run with any HTTP server locally. For example, you can run http-server -p 9990 or python -m http.server 9990 to run a static web server in the directory of this repository. Then, simply load http://localhost:9990/ and you'll have replayweb.page running locally.
ReplayWeb.page is built as a Node package can be installed using yarn:
yarn install
It is also a Jekyll site for use with GitHub pages. Jekyll is only needed to build the docs.
The package provides various commands that can be used with yarn:
-
yarn run start-dev- to run in dev mode with Webpack dev server on port 9990. Autobuilds dev assets. -
yarn run build- to build production assets sw.js, ui.js -
yarn run start-prod- to run production site on port 9990, with previously built assets -
yarn run start-electron- to start electron in dev mode, with previously built assets -
yarn run dist- to build production assets + Electron app (in dist/) -
yarn run build-docs- to build the Jekyll docs (for local use) and run Jekyll. Requires Ruby. -
yarn run start-jekyll- to build Jekyll docs and start Jekyll static server on port 4000.
The static assets are placed in the root index.html, sw.js and ui.js, and can be used with any HTTP server.
For service workers to work, they must be served from either localhost or an HTTPS endpoint.
