About Service Workers

Service Workers enable offline functionality, push notifications, and background sync. They act as a proxy between your web app and the network, allowing you to cache resources and control how network requests are handled.

Implementation Steps

  1. Download or copy the service worker code to a file named sw.js
  2. Place sw.js in the root of your website
  3. Add the registration code to your main JavaScript file
  4. Test locally using HTTPS or localhost
  5. Update cache version when you make changes to cached files

Important Notes

  • • Service Workers require HTTPS (except localhost)
  • • Increment cache version to force updates
  • • Test thoroughly before deploying to production
  • • Use browser DevTools to debug (Application tab)
  • • Consider using Workbox for production apps
