Audio Recording in Java Script

I know this is a common question, but for some reason, there are several answers (which confuses me)

tl;dr I am trying to set a button that let you record yourself for up to 10 seconds (you can press stop if you want to stop recording before) and then let you play it.


What I have tried till now :

I know there is the library getUserMedia, and I have (tried) created a MediaStream. I get confused when it comes to the Recording itself and the.Start() and Stop()

here is my code for getting the user`s permission to access the microphone :

const getmiceacesses = function () {
const stream = navigator.mediaDevices
.getUserMedia({ audio: true })
.then(function (stream) {const mediaRecorder = new MediaRecorder(stream);
  const audioChunks = [];

  mediaRecorder.addEventListener("dataavailable", (event) => {
    audioChunks.push(event.data);
  });
});};

const recording = document.querySelector(`.recorder`);
recording.addEventListener(`click`, getmiceacesses);

Thank you guys!
