What are Progressive Web Apps? ❏ A PWA is an app that is in the browser and is displayed as a website. ❏ They offer a full-screen experience by taking help of a web app manifest file. ❏ They can also re-engage users by employing web push notifications. ❏ Innovative features like quick updates, faster navigation, offline working mode, push notifications, and so on

Let us look at the element that lays the basis for a successful experience – “Service Workers”

Service Workers â?? They act as the proxy servers, which sit between the web applications and then between the network and browser. â?? They allow an access to the background sync APIs and push notifications.

*Note that it is a prerequisite that your site is in https format.

Things that are possible with Service Worker in PWA ❏ An Offline access to specific pages (an e-ticket, order confirmation) ❏ Pre-caching assets grounded on the predictions of what actions user will take next ❏ Serving the cached version to the users when it is taking time to load specific resources ❏ Rewriting the URLs to enable being requested by canonical url

Creation part of “Service Workers”

One of the most dependable tools that are used to create Service Worker is, “Workbox Library � which is also highly recommended by Google.

Workbox Library ❏ It is a group of build tools and libraries ❏ With Workbox it is possible to store the website’s folders locally. ❏ It makes your website run offline ❏ It improves your load performance on the repeatvisits
