feat: network waterfall view for session replay

[pauldambra]

#TravelHackathon

We have all the data we need to generate page reports in individual recording's session replay data

We can't make it queryable but we can display it individually, that's already useful so let's do that

TODO

• [x] react to playlist ID changes
• [ ] don't mark as viewed?
• [x] show breakdown of asset types by size
• [ ] allow filtering to remove asset types from view
• [ ] make it exportable?
• [ ] make it work with notebooks
• [ ] change the URL when e.g. paging so you can share with others
• [ ] allow public sharing?
• [ ] make an aggregate view that shows the whole session collapsed by URL with box-plots

@daibhin thought I'd put something up you can play with to get UX feedback - am already thinking it should be called "page report" not "network view"

Walkthrough

This update introduces a comprehensive enhancement to the session recordings feature by adding a network view for performance events. The changes include new components, logic, and utilities for displaying network-related data, as well as updates to existing logic to incorporate these new features. Additionally, feature flags are used to control the visibility of the network view.

Tips

Chat

There are 3 ways to chat with CodeRabbit:

• Review comments: Directly reply to a review comment made by CodeRabbit. Example:
  • I pushed a fix in commit <commit_id>.
  • Generate unit testing code for this file.
  • Open a follow-up GitHub issue for this discussion.
• Files and specific lines of code (under the "Files changed" tab): Tag @coderabbitai in a new review comment at the desired location with your query. Examples:
  • @coderabbitai generate unit testing code for this file.
  • @coderabbitai modularize this function.
• PR comments: Tag @coderabbitai in a new PR comment to ask questions about the PR branch. For the best results, please provide a very specific query, as very limited context is provided in this mode. Examples:
  • @coderabbitai generate interesting stats about this repository and render them as a table.
  • @coderabbitai show all the console.log statements in this repository.
  • @coderabbitai read src/utils.ts and generate unit testing code.
  • @coderabbitai read the files in the src/scheduler package and generate a class diagram using mermaid and a README in the markdown format.

Note: Be mindful of the bot's finite context window. It's strongly recommended to break down tasks such as reading entire modules into smaller chunks. For a focused discussion, use review comments to chat about specific files and their changes, instead of using the PR comments.

This feels cool. Great to give people another means of analysing their data. I made two larger changes:

• Put the contents into a table for easier formatting
• Cleaned up the asset proportions to hide text on smaller screens

I think the main question I took away from it all was why this is a separate tab to the recordings? I'd imagine it would be quite annoying to have to switch between the two tabs and find a recording again if you want to look at the waterfall view.

Do we expect someone to use this while analysing a recording or is it something they'd intentionally come to do? Could this be a different view on the existing recording that you can toggle to? Or maybe it could just be another tab in the inspector?

Yeah, I think eventually you'd want to be able to visit individual page reports, share them, export them.

It was separate mostly just cos I was figuring it out as I go. And a way to promote the feature more easily.

I don't think it should live only in the inspector. It feels too restricted.

---

I'd be keen to get it in behind a flag so we can see the display with some production data to sense check that.

super confused why moving the initiator type color mapping has broken all uses of color in js tests 🫠
