` elements as placeholders - **Dynamic Content**: Populates placeholders when they come into view - **Memory Management**: Unloads content from videos far from current position 3. **Scroll Detection**: - Uses `data-scroll-index` attributes for position tracking - Calculates current video based on scroll position - Triggers content loading when approaching new videos ### Implementation Strategy ```typescript // Main video feed hook export const useVideoFeed = () => { const [videos, setVideos] = useState([]); const [currentIndex, setCurrentIndex] = useState(0); const [hasMore, setHasMore] = useState(true); const [loading, setLoading] = useState(false); // Create placeholder structure (similar to TikTok) const createPlaceholders = (count: number, startIndex: number = 0) => { return Array.from({ length: count }, (_, i) => ({ id: `placeholder-${startIndex + i}`, isPlaceholder: true, index: startIndex + i })); }; // Load more videos when needed const loadMoreVideos = useCallback(async () => { if (loading || !hasMore) return; setLoading(true); try { const newVideos = await fetchMoreVideos(videos.length); setVideos(prev => [...prev, ...newVideos]); setHasMore(newVideos.length > 0); } catch (error) { console.error('Failed to load more videos:', error); } finally { setLoading(false); } }, [videos.length, loading, hasMore]); // Populate placeholder with actual content const populateVideo = useCallback(async (index: number) => { if (videos[index] && !videos[index].isPlaceholder) return; try { const videoData = await fetchVideoAtIndex(index); setVideos(prev => { const newVideos = [...prev]; newVideos[index] = videoData; return newVideos; }); } catch (error) { console.error(`Failed to load video at index ${index}:`, error); } }, [videos]); return { videos, currentIndex, hasMore, loading, loadMoreVideos, populateVideo, setCurrentIndex }; }; ``` --- ## WebVTT Subtitle System ### Subtitle Parser Implementation ```typescript // WebVTT subtitle parser export class WebVTTParser { static parse(vttContent: string, options: ParseOptions = {}): WebVTTResult { const { strict = true, includeMeta = false } = options; if (!vttContent || typeof vttContent !== 'string') { return { cues: [], valid: false, errors: [] }; } try { // Normalize content const normalized = vttContent .trim() .replace(/\r\n/g, '\n') .replace(/\r/g, '\n'); const blocks = normalized.split('\n\n'); const header = blocks.shift(); // Validate WebVTT header if (!header?.startsWith('WEBVTT')) { throw new Error('Invalid WebVTT format: must start with "WEBVTT"'); } // Parse cues const cues: SubtitleCue[] = []; const errors: Error[] = []; blocks.forEach((block, index) => { try { const cue = this.parseCue(block, index, strict); if (cue) cues.push(cue); } catch (error) { errors.push(error as Error); } }); if (strict && errors.length > 0) { throw errors[0]; } return { valid: errors.length === 0, strict, cues, errors, meta: includeMeta ? this.parseMetadata(header) : undefined }; } catch (error) { return { valid: false, strict, cues: [], errors: [error as Error] }; } } private static parseCue(block: string, index: number, strict: boolean): SubtitleCue | null { const lines = block.split('\n').filter(Boolean); if (lines.length === 0) return null; // Skip NOTE blocks if (lines[0].trim().startsWith('NOTE')) return null; // Find timestamp line const timestampLineIndex = lines.findIndex(line => line.includes('-->')); if (timestampLineIndex === -1) { throw new Error(`No timestamp found in cue ${index}`); } const timestampLine = lines[timestampLineIndex]; const [startStr, endStr] = timestampLine.split(' --> '); if (!startStr || !endStr) { throw new Error(`Invalid timestamp format in cue ${index}`); } const startTime = this.parseTimestamp(startStr); const endTime = this.parseTimestamp(endStr); // Validate timestamp order if (strict && startTime >= endTime) { throw new Error(`Invalid timestamp order in cue ${index}`); } // Extract cue text (everything after timestamp line) const textLines = lines.slice(timestampLineIndex + 1); const text = textLines.join('\n').trim(); if (!text) return null; return { start: startTime, end: endTime, text, startStr: this.formatTime(startTime) }; } private static parseTimestamp(timeStr: string): number { const match = timeStr.match(/(?:(\d{1,2}):)?(\d{2}):(\d{2})\.(\d{3})/); if (!match) throw new Error(`Invalid timestamp format: ${timeStr}`); const [, hours = '0', minutes, seconds, milliseconds] = match; return ( parseInt(hours) * 3600 + parseInt(minutes) * 60 + parseInt(seconds) + parseInt(milliseconds) / 1000 ); } private static formatTime(seconds: number): string { const hours = Math.floor(seconds / 3600); const mins = Math.floor((seconds % 3600) / 60); const secs = Math.floor(seconds % 60); if (hours > 0) { return `${hours}:${mins.toString().padStart(2, '0')}:${secs.toString().padStart(2, '0')}`; } return `${mins}:${secs.toString().padStart(2, '0')}`; } private static parseMetadata(header: string): Record | undefined { const lines = header.split('\n').slice(1); // Skip WEBVTT line const metadata: Record = {}; lines.forEach(line => { const colonIndex = line.indexOf(':'); if (colonIndex > 0) { const key = line.slice(0, colonIndex).trim(); const value = line.slice(colonIndex + 1).trim(); metadata[key] = value; } }); return Object.keys(metadata).length > 0 ? metadata : undefined; } } interface ParseOptions { strict?: boolean; includeMeta?: boolean; } interface WebVTTResult { valid: boolean; strict: boolean; cues: SubtitleCue[]; errors: Error[]; meta?: Record; } ``` --- ## Usage Example ### Complete Implementation ```tsx import React from 'react'; import { VideoFeedContainer } from './components/VideoFeedContainer'; import { useVideoFeed } from './hooks/useVideoFeed'; import { VideoPreloadService } from './services/VideoPreloadService'; const App: React.FC = () => { const { videos, currentIndex, hasMore, loading, loadMoreVideos, populateVideo } = useVideoFeed(); const preloadService = new VideoPreloadService(); // Handle video index changes for preloading useEffect(() => { preloadService.preloadNextVideos(currentIndex, videos); }, [currentIndex, videos]); return (

); }; export default App; ``` --- ## Advanced Scrolling Mechanism (Updated) ### Swiper Mode Navigation Based on the additional deobfuscated file (`89650.836eaa0d.js`), TikTok uses a sophisticated **Swiper Mode Module** for video navigation: ```typescript // Enhanced swiper navigation system interface SwiperModeState { currentIndex: Record; // Current indices by list type disabled: boolean; // Navigation disabled state itemListKey: ItemListKey; // Current item list key onboardingShowing: boolean; // Onboarding modal state loginCTAShowing: boolean; // Login prompt state leavingModalShowing: boolean; // Exit confirmation state playbackRate: number; // Video playback speed dimmer: boolean; // Screen dimmer state showBrowseMode: boolean; // Browse mode state needLeavingModal: boolean; // Exit modal requirement iconType: IconType; // Current control icon seekType: SeekType; // Seek operation type } enum IconType { None = "none", Mute = "mute", Unmute = "unmute", Play = "play", Pause = "pause" } enum SeekType { Forward = "forward", BackWard = "backward", None = "none" } // Enhanced navigation service export class VideoNavigationService { /** * Navigate to next video with analytics tracking */ async handleNextVideo(currentState: SwiperModeState): Promise { // Report interaction start this.reportVideoInteraction({ startTime: Date.now(), situation: 'SwiperSlideNext' }); const { itemListKey, currentIndex } = currentState; const browserList = this.getBrowserList(itemListKey); const currentIdx = currentIndex[itemListKey] || 0; const nextIndex = Math.min(currentIdx + 1, browserList.length - 1); if (this.canNavigate(nextIndex, browserList)) { await this.updateVideoIndex({ newIndex: nextIndex, newId: browserList[nextIndex], playMode: currentState.playMode, itemListKey }); } } /** * Navigate to previous video with analytics tracking */ async handlePrevVideo(currentState: SwiperModeState): Promise { // Report interaction start this.reportVideoInteraction({ startTime: Date.now(), situation: 'SwiperSlidePrev' }); const { itemListKey, currentIndex } = currentState; const browserList = this.getBrowserList(itemListKey); const currentIdx = currentIndex[itemListKey] || 0; const prevIndex = Math.max(currentIdx - 1, 0); if (this.canNavigate(prevIndex, browserList)) { await this.updateVideoIndex({ newIndex: prevIndex, newId: browserList[prevIndex], playMode: currentState.playMode, itemListKey }); } } /** * Core video index update with comprehensive state management */ private async updateVideoIndex(params: { newIndex: number; newId: string; playMode: PlayMode; itemListKey: string; }): Promise { const { newIndex, newId, playMode, itemListKey } = params; // Update video player state await this.videoPlayerService.updateVideo({ currentVideo: { index: newIndex, id: newId, mode: playMode }, playProgress: 0 }); // Update swiper current index this.setSwiperCurrentIndex({ key: itemListKey, value: newIndex }); // Trigger preloading if near end of list if (this.shouldPreload(newIndex, this.getBrowserList(itemListKey))) { await this.preloadMoreContent(newIndex, newId); } } } ``` ### Comment System Integration The scrolling system is tightly integrated with TikTok's comment system: ```typescript // Comment state management for video feed interface CommentState { awemeId?: string; cursor: string; comments: CommentItem[]; hasMore: boolean; loading: boolean; isFirstLoad: boolean; fetchType: 'load_by_current' | 'preload_by_ml'; currentAspect: 'all' | string; } interface CommentItem { cid: string; user_digged: boolean; is_author_digged: boolean; digg_count: number; reply_comment_total: number; reply_comment?: CommentItem[]; replyCache?: { comments: CommentItem[]; cursor: string; hasMore: boolean; loading: boolean; }; } // Comment preloading service export class CommentPreloadService { /** * Preload comments for upcoming videos */ async preloadComments(videoId: string, fetchType: string = 'preload_by_ml'): Promise { try { const response = await this.fetchComments({ aweme_id: videoId, cursor: '0', count: 20, fetch_type: fetchType }); if (response.status_code === 0 && response.comments?.length) { // Process and cache comment data const processedData = this.processCommentData(response.comments); // Update comment state this.setCommentItem({ item: { comments: processedData.comments, hasMore: !!response.has_more, cursor: response.cursor, loading: false, isFirstLoad: true, fetchType }, itemId: videoId }); // Update user data this.updateUserData(processedData.users); } } catch (error) { console.error('Comment preload failed:', error); } } } ``` --- ## Key Implementation Notes ### 1. **Sparse Loading Pattern** - TikTok creates placeholder `

` elements for the entire scroll range - Only populates content when videos come into view - This prevents excessive DOM manipulation and memory usage ### 2. **Scroll-Based Navigation** - Uses `data-scroll-index` attributes for position tracking - Calculates current video based on scroll position relative to container height - Smooth transitions with CSS `snap-scroll` properties ### 3. **Preloading Strategy** - Preloads metadata for upcoming videos - Loads full video content when within 6 items of current position - Cleans up old preloaded content to manage memory ### 4. **Analytics Integration** - Tracks every video switch with detailed metrics - Records scroll patterns and engagement data - Integrates with TikTok's comprehensive analytics system ### 5. **Performance Optimizations** - Throttled scroll event handlers - Lazy loading of video content - Memory management for preloaded videos - CSS-based smooth scrolling with hardware acceleration ### 6. **Enhanced Navigation System** - **Swiper Mode Module**: Dedicated service for next/prev navigation - **Multi-List Support**: Handles different content types (ForYou, Search, etc.) - **State Validation**: Comprehensive checks before navigation - **Analytics Integration**: Detailed tracking for every navigation event ### 7. **Advanced Comment System** - **ML-Driven Preloading**: Comments preloaded using machine learning predictions - **Threaded Replies**: Nested reply system with separate caching - **Real-time Interactions**: Instant like/unlike with optimistic updates - **Translation Support**: Multi-language comment translation - **Topic Filtering**: Comments can be filtered by topics and categories - **Batch Operations**: Efficient bulk comment operations This implementation replicates TikTok's sophisticated video feed system while providing clean TypeScript interfaces and React components that can be styled with Tailwind CSS. --- ## Tailwind CSS Configuration Add these custom utilities to your `tailwind.config.js`: ```javascript module.exports = { theme: { extend: { animation: { 'spin-slow': 'spin 3s linear infinite', }, backdropBlur: { 'xs': '2px', } } }, plugins: [ require('@tailwindcss/line-clamp'), ] } ``` --- ## Enhanced React Hook Implementation ### Complete Swiper Navigation Hook ```tsx import { useCallback, useEffect, useRef, useState } from 'react'; interface UseSwiperNavigationProps { videos: VideoItem[]; onVideoChange: (index: number) => void; onLoadMore: () => void; hasMore: boolean; } export const useSwiperNavigation = ({ videos, onVideoChange, onLoadMore, hasMore }: UseSwiperNavigationProps) => { const [currentIndex, setCurrentIndex] = useState(0); const [isNavigating, setIsNavigating] = useState(false); const [swiperState, setSwiperState] = useState({ currentIndex: { video: 0 }, disabled: false, itemListKey: ItemListKey.Video, onboardingShowing: false, loginCTAShowing: false, leavingModalShowing: false, playbackRate: 1, dimmer: false, showBrowseMode: false, needLeavingModal: false, iconType: IconType.None, seekType: SeekType.None }); // Navigation service instance const navigationService = useRef(new VideoNavigationService()); /** * Handle next video navigation */ const handleNextVideo = useCallback(async () => { if (isNavigating || swiperState.disabled) return; setIsNavigating(true); try { await navigationService.current.handleNextVideo(swiperState); const nextIndex = Math.min(currentIndex + 1, videos.length - 1); setCurrentIndex(nextIndex); onVideoChange(nextIndex); // Trigger load more if near end if (videos.length - nextIndex < 6 && hasMore) { onLoadMore(); } } catch (error) { console.error('Navigation to next video failed:', error); } finally { setIsNavigating(false); } }, [currentIndex, videos.length, isNavigating, swiperState, onVideoChange, onLoadMore, hasMore]); /** * Handle previous video navigation */ const handlePrevVideo = useCallback(async () => { if (isNavigating || swiperState.disabled) return; setIsNavigating(true); try { await navigationService.current.handlePrevVideo(swiperState); const prevIndex = Math.max(currentIndex - 1, 0); setCurrentIndex(prevIndex); onVideoChange(prevIndex); } catch (error) { console.error('Navigation to previous video failed:', error); } finally { setIsNavigating(false); } }, [currentIndex, isNavigating, swiperState, onVideoChange]); /** * Handle keyboard navigation */ useEffect(() => { const handleKeyDown = (event: KeyboardEvent) => { switch (event.key) { case 'ArrowUp': event.preventDefault(); handlePrevVideo(); break; case 'ArrowDown': event.preventDefault(); handleNextVideo(); break; case ' ': event.preventDefault(); // Handle play/pause setSwiperState(prev => ({ ...prev, iconType: prev.iconType === IconType.Play ? IconType.Pause : IconType.Play })); break; } }; window.addEventListener('keydown', handleKeyDown); return () => window.removeEventListener('keydown', handleKeyDown); }, [handleNextVideo, handlePrevVideo]); return { currentIndex, swiperState, setSwiperState, handleNextVideo, handlePrevVideo, isNavigating }; }; ``` ### Enhanced Video Feed with Swiper Navigation ```tsx export const EnhancedVideoFeedContainer: React.FC = ({ videos, onLoadMore, hasMore, loading }) => { const { currentIndex, swiperState, handleNextVideo, handlePrevVideo, isNavigating } = useSwiperNavigation({ videos, onVideoChange: (index) => { // Handle video change analytics trackVideoSwitch({ fromIndex: currentIndex, toIndex: index, method: 'swiper_navigation' }); }, onLoadMore, hasMore }); return (

); })}

); }; ``` --- ## Complete Comment System Implementation ### Enhanced Comment Types ```typescript // Complete comment system types interface CommentSystemState { // Video-level comment state videoComments: Record; // Individual comment items commentItems: Record; } interface VideoCommentState { awemeId?: string; cursor: string; comments: CommentItem[]; hasMore: boolean; loading: boolean; isFirstLoad: boolean; fetchType: 'load_by_current' | 'preload_by_ml'; currentAspect: 'all' | string; // Can be topic-specific like 'topic_123' } interface CommentItem { cid: string; // Comment ID user: string; // User ID who posted user_digged: boolean; // Whether current user liked this comment is_author_digged: boolean; // Whether video author liked this comment digg_count: number; // Total likes on this comment reply_comment_total: number; // Total replies count reply_comment?: CommentItem[]; // Loaded reply comments replyCache?: { // Reply pagination cache comments: CommentItem[]; cursor: string; hasMore: boolean; loading: boolean; }; comment_language?: string; // Language code for translation } // Comment interaction analytics interface CommentAnalytics { comment_id: string; group_id: string; // Video ID comment_user_id: string; // Comment author ID author_id: string; // Video author ID enter_method: string; // How user entered comment section parent_comment_id?: string; // For reply analytics } ``` ### Comment System React Components ```tsx // Enhanced comment system with all discovered features export const CommentSystem: React.FC<{ videoId: string }> = ({ videoId }) => { const [commentState, setCommentState] = useState(); const [selectedAspect, setSelectedAspect] = useState('all'); const commentService = useCommentService(); // Load comments when video changes useEffect(() => { commentService.fetchComment({ aweme_id: videoId, cursor: '0', fetch_type: 'load_by_current', commentAspect: selectedAspect }); }, [videoId, selectedAspect]); return (

Invariant Error Handling** ```typescript // Core error checking utility used throughout TikTok's codebase interface InvariantFunction { (condition: boolean, message?: string, ...args: any[]): void; } // Usage in TikTok's code invariant(videoId, 'Video ID is required for playback'); invariant(userPermissions.canView, 'User %s does not have permission to view video %s', userId, videoId); ``` #### **2. Dynamic Script Loading** ```typescript // Advanced script loading with comprehensive options interface ScriptLoadOptions { type?: string; // Script type (default: 'text/javascript') charset?: string; // Character encoding (default: 'utf8') async?: boolean; // Async loading (default: true) attrs?: Record; // Custom attributes text?: string; // Inline script content } interface ScriptLoader { (src: string, options?: ScriptLoadOptions, callback?: (error: Error | null, element: HTMLScriptElement) => void): void; } // TikTok uses this for: // - Loading video player chunks on demand // - Dynamic feature loading based on user interactions // - A/B testing script injection // - Analytics and tracking script management ``` #### **3. PropTypes Validation System** ```typescript // React component validation (development mode) interface PropTypesSystem { array: PropTypeValidator; bool: PropTypeValidator; func: PropTypeValidator; number: PropTypeValidator; object: PropTypeValidator; string: PropTypeValidator; symbol: PropTypeValidator; any: PropTypeValidator; arrayOf: (validator: PropTypeValidator) => PropTypeValidator; element: PropTypeValidator; instanceOf: (constructor: Function) => PropTypeValidator; node: PropTypeValidator; objectOf: (validator: PropTypeValidator) => PropTypeValidator; oneOf: (values: any[]) => PropTypeValidator; oneOfType: (validators: PropTypeValidator[]) => PropTypeValidator; shape: (shape: Record) => PropTypeValidator; exact: (shape: Record) => PropTypeValidator; } ``` ### **Utility Integration in Video Player** ```tsx // Example of how utilities integrate with video player components import { invariant } from './utils/invariant'; import { loadScript } from './utils/scriptLoader'; export const VideoPlayerWithUtilities: React.FC = ({ videoId, onLoad }) => { const [playerReady, setPlayerReady] = useState(false); useEffect(() => { // Validate required props invariant(videoId, 'VideoPlayer requires a valid videoId'); // Dynamically load video player engine loadScript('/static/js/video-engine.js', { async: true, attrs: { 'data-video-id': videoId } }, (error, script) => { if (error) { console.error('Failed to load video engine:', error); return; } setPlayerReady(true); onLoad?.(videoId); }); }, [videoId, onLoad]); return (

{playerReady ? ( ) : ( )}

); }; // PropTypes validation for development VideoPlayerWithUtilities.propTypes = { videoId: PropTypes.string.isRequired, onLoad: PropTypes.func, autoplay: PropTypes.bool, controls: PropTypes.bool, muted: PropTypes.bool }; ``` ### **Error Handling Strategy** ```typescript // TikTok's comprehensive error handling approach class VideoPlayerErrorHandler { /** * Handle video loading errors with graceful degradation */ static handleVideoError(error: Error, videoId: string, retryCount: number = 0): void { // Use invariant for critical errors invariant(retryCount < 3, 'Video loading failed after %s retries for video %s', retryCount, videoId); // Log error for analytics this.logError({ type: 'video_load_error', videoId, error: error.message, retryCount, timestamp: Date.now() }); // Attempt recovery strategies if (retryCount < 2) { // Try alternative video source this.loadAlternativeSource(videoId, retryCount + 1); } else { // Show error state to user this.showErrorState(videoId, error); } } /** * Dynamic loading of error recovery modules */ static async loadErrorRecovery(): Promise { return new Promise((resolve, reject) => { loadScript('/static/js/error-recovery.js', { async: true, attrs: { 'data-module': 'error-recovery' } }, (error) => { if (error) { reject(error); } else { resolve(); } }); }); } } ``` ### **Performance Optimization Utilities** ```typescript // Advanced performance utilities discovered in the bundle interface PerformanceUtils { // Throttle function calls for scroll events throttle: any>(func: T, delay: number) => T; // Debounce function calls for search inputs debounce: any>(func: T, delay: number) => T; // Lazy loading with intersection observer lazyLoad: (element: HTMLElement, callback: () => void) => void; // Memory management for large lists virtualizeList: (items: any[], containerHeight: number, itemHeight: number) => any[]; } // Implementation examples export const usePerformanceOptimizedScroll = (onScroll: () => void) => { const throttledScroll = useMemo( () => throttle(onScroll, 16), // 60fps [onScroll] ); useEffect(() => { window.addEventListener('scroll', throttledScroll, { passive: true }); return () => window.removeEventListener('scroll', throttledScroll); }, [throttledScroll]); }; ``` --- --- ## Privacy and Network Security (PNS) System ### Core Security Architecture (`index.js`) The `index.js` file reveals TikTok's comprehensive **Privacy and Network Security (PNS)** system - a sophisticated privacy compliance and security framework: #### **1. Privacy Compliance Engine** ```typescript // Cookie consent management with domain-based blocking interface CookieConsentManager { blockedCookies: string[]; // Cookies to block based on domain hookCookieSetter: () => void; // Intercept document.cookie operations processCookieSet: (value: string) => CookieData; } interface CookieData { rawValue: string; name: string; _time: number; _blocked: boolean; _sample_rate: number; _stack_rate: number; _rule_names: string[]; } // Usage in TikTok's privacy system const cookieManager = new CookieConsentManager({ blockers: [{ domains: ["tiktok.com", "tiktokv.com"], cookies: ["MONITOR_WEB_ID", "MONITOR_DEVICE_ID", "ktlvDW7IG5ClOcxYTbmY"] }], sampleRate: 0.07 }); ``` #### **2. Network Request Interception** ```typescript // Comprehensive network security with request/response monitoring interface NetworkInterceptor { originalFetch: typeof fetch; originalXHR: typeof XMLHttpRequest; hookFetch: () => void; // Intercept fetch API hookXMLHttpRequest: () => void; // Intercept XHR requests applySecurityRules: (data: RequestData) => ProcessedRequestData; } interface RequestData { request_url: string; request_host: string; request_path: string; method: string; headers: Record; _request_time: number; _blocked: boolean; _sample_rate: number; } // Security rules applied to every request interface SecurityRule { conditions: Array<{ type: 'url' | 'host' | 'path' | 'header' | 'method'; pattern: { $eq?: string; $prefix?: string; $regex?: string; $in?: string[]; }; }>; handlers: Array<{ handler: 'block' | 'report' | 'replace'; type: 'self' | 'url' | 'header'; value?: any; }>; priority: number; ruleName: string; } ``` #### **3. Web API Monitoring** ```typescript // Monitor sensitive API usage for privacy compliance interface WebAPIMonitor { hookSensitiveAPIs: () => void; hookAPI: (config: APIConfig) => void; } interface APIConfig { apiName: string; // API method name apiObj: string; // Object path (e.g., "navigator.geolocation") apiType: 'method' | 'constructor' | 'attribute_get' | 'attribute_set'; block: boolean; // Whether to block the API sampleRate: number; // Sampling rate for reporting stackRate: number; // Stack trace collection rate withRawArguments: boolean[]; // Which arguments to log withStack: boolean; // Whether to collect stack traces } // Examples of monitored APIs const monitoredAPIs = [ { apiName: "getUserMedia", apiObj: "navigator.mediaDevices", apiType: "method", sampleRate: 1.0, stackRate: 1.0, block: false }, { apiName: "getCurrentPosition", apiObj: "navigator.geolocation", apiType: "method", sampleRate: 1.0, stackRate: 1.0, block: false }, { apiName: "cookie", apiObj: "document", apiType: "attribute_get", sampleRate: 0.00005, stackRate: 0.001, block: false } ]; ``` #### **4. Page Context Management** ```typescript // Track navigation and page context changes interface PageContextManager { observers: Array<{ func: (context: PageContext) => void; fields?: string[]; }>; context: PageContext; buildInitialContext: () => PageContext; setupNavigationTracking: () => void; updateContext: (newContext: PageContext) => void; } interface PageContext { url: string; host: string; path: string; search: string; hash: string; region: string; // Geographic region business: string; // Business context env: 'prod' | 'dev' | 'staging'; // Environment gtm?: string; // Google Tag Manager status ftc?: string; // FTC compliance status login?: string; // Login status } ``` #### **5. Service Worker Communication** ```typescript // Secure communication with service worker for enhanced privacy interface ServiceWorkerCommunication { SW_EVENTS: { RUNTIME_SW_EVENT: "__PNS_RUNTIME_SW_EVENT__"; RUNTIME_SE_ERROR: "__PNS_RUNTIME_SE_ERROR__"; RUNTIME: "__PNS_RUNTIME__"; }; setupCommunication: (runtime: PNSRuntime) => void; sendConfigToSW: (config: PNSConfig) => void; handleSWMessages: (event: MessageEvent) => void; } ``` ### **Integration with Video Player System** The PNS system directly impacts video player functionality: ```tsx // Enhanced video player with PNS integration export const PrivacyAwareVideoPlayer: React.FC = ({ videoId, onLoad, requiresConsent = true }) => { const [consentGranted, setConsentGranted] = useState(false); const [pnsBlocked, setPnsBlocked] = useState(false); useEffect(() => { // Check PNS consent status const runtime = window.__PNS_RUNTIME__; if (runtime) { // Monitor for privacy-related blocks runtime.addObserver((context) => { if (context.cookie_ga !== true && requiresConsent) { setPnsBlocked(true); } }, ['cookie_ga', 'cookie_fbp', 'cookie_optional']); } }, [requiresConsent]); // Handle video loading with privacy compliance const loadVideo = useCallback(async () => { if (pnsBlocked) { console.warn('Video loading blocked by privacy policy'); return; } try { // Video loading with PNS monitoring const response = await fetch(`/api/video/${videoId}`, { headers: { 'X-Privacy-Consent': consentGranted ? '1' : '0' } }); if (response.status === 410) { // Request blocked by PNS setPnsBlocked(true); return; } const videoData = await response.json(); onLoad?.(videoData); } catch (error) { console.error('Video loading failed:', error); } }, [videoId, consentGranted, pnsBlocked, onLoad]); if (pnsBlocked) { return (

); } return ( ); }; ``` ### **PNS Configuration Example** ```typescript // Complete PNS configuration as used by TikTok const pnsConfig: PNSConfig = { cookie: { enabled: true, sampleRate: 0.07, stackSampleRate: 0.07, blockers: [{ domains: ["tiktok.com", "tiktokv.com"], cookies: ["MONITOR_WEB_ID", "MONITOR_DEVICE_ID", "ktlvDW7IG5ClOcxYTbmY"] }] }, network: { sampleRate: 0.03, intercept: [ { // Force HTTPS conditions: [{ type: "url", pattern: { $prefix: "http://" } }], handlers: [{ handler: "replace", type: "url", pattern: { $prefix: "http://" }, value: "https://" }], priority: -1000, ruleName: "force_https" }, { // Block YouTube API on TikTok conditions: [ { type: "url", pattern: { $prefix: "https://www.youtube.com/iframe_api" } }, { type: "context", field: "host", pattern: { $eq: "www.tiktok.com" } } ], handlers: [{ handler: "block", type: "self" }], priority: 22, ruleName: "youtube_cutoff" } ] }, webapi: { enabled: true, apis: [ { apiName: "getUserMedia", apiObj: "navigator.mediaDevices", apiType: "method", sampleRate: 1.0, stackRate: 1.0, withRawArguments: [true], withStack: true } ] } }; ``` This enhanced implementation now includes TikTok's complete privacy and security infrastructure alongside the sophisticated video player system, providing comprehensive replication of their privacy-compliant video feed mechanics.
