[Feature] Can you provide a trace viewer NPM package

Hello

Can you provide a Trace Viewer NPM package,

We are working on an open source test GUI application Etest x wants to add this function

@xflihaibo have you find any solution? I am looking for ways to do something like:

import { openTrace } from "@playwright/trace";

const myTrace = await openTrace("./path-to-trace.zip");
const actions = await myTrace.listActions();
const lastSnapshotDom = await actions.at(-1)?.getDom();

I haven’t found any public API to do read traces in Node.js so far.

Seeing some positive changes in the repo structure: trace-viewer is a separate package now 👀

It’d be great to see a variant of it published on NPM! 🙏

I'm coming here after reading https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/issues/16367#issuecomment-1209892073. Given we haven't seen much activity/requests here, it's unlikely we'll be resolving this soon. However, would you be open to contributing a PR? If so—before starting any work—I can raise with the team and see if it's something Playwright would include. Thanks!
