Arnelle Balane Software Developer at Newlogic Google Developers Expert for

Progressive Web Apps Websites built using Web technologies, and act
and feel like native apps
❖ Can be installed to the home screen ❖ Works
well even in intermittent or unreliable network conditions ❖ Works on any device ❖ Send notifications even when app is closed Progressive Web Apps
❖ Usually built using the application shell model, minimizing page
refresh ❖ Generally easier to deploy and maintain than native apps ❖ SEO, URLs, etc. Progressive Web Apps
Service Workers <script> if (navigator.serviceWorker) { window.addEventListener('load', () => {
navigator.serviceWorker.register('/sw.js'); }); } </script>
Service Workers // sw.js addEventListener('install', event => { /**/ });
addEventListener('activate', event => { /**/ }); addEventListener('fetch', event => { /**/ });
❖ Service Workers ❖ Cache API ❖ Push Notifications ❖
Background Sync ❖ Background Fetch ❖ Web Application Manifest Moar APIs for our PWAs!
None
Workbox JavaScript libraries for adding offline support to Web applications
❖ from CDN ❖ Node module ❖ Webpack plugin Using
Workbox

Import the library // sw.js importScripts('https://storage.googleapis.com/workbox-cdn/ releases/5.1.2/workbox-sw.js');
Precache site assets (deprecated) workbox.precaching.precache([ '/', '/classes', '/index.css', '/index.js', '/images/image-01.jpg',
'/images/image-02.jpg' ]);
Precache site assets, with versioning workbox.precaching.precache([ {url: '/', revision: 'v1'},
{url: '/classes', revision: 'v1'}, {url: '/index.css', revision: 'v1'}, {url: '/index.js', revision: 'v1'}, {url: '/images/image-01.jpg', revision: 'v1'}, {url: '/images/image-02.jpg', revision: 'v1'} ]);
Verify cache in Chrome Devtools
Y u no work?
Route precached assets workbox.precaching.precache([ /* ... */ ]); workbox.precaching.addRoute();
Precache and route site assets workbox.precaching.precacheAndRoute([ {url: '/', revision: 'v1'},
{url: '/classes', revision: 'v1'}, {url: '/index.css', revision: 'v1'}, {url: '/index.js', revision: 'v1'}, {url: '/images/image-01.jpg', revision: 'v1'}, {url: '/images/image-02.jpg', revision: 'v1'} ]);
Now it works offline!
Precaching Adding items to the cache in advance, even before
they are used
Gradually adding items to the cache as they are requested
Runtime caching
Cache a specific URL at runtime workbox.routing.registerRoute( '/images/image-01.jpg', new workbox.strategies.NetworkFirst()
);
Verify cache in Chrome Devtools
Cache a URL pattern at runtime workbox.routing.registerRoute( /\.jpg$/, new workbox.strategies.NetworkFirst()
);
Runtime caching using a “match callback” workbox.routing.registerRoute( (context) => context.url.origin
=== 'https://arnelle.me', new workbox.strategies.NetworkFirst() ); workbox.routing.registerRoute( (context) => context.request.destination === 'image', new workbox.strategies.NetworkFirst() );
Runtime caching https://developers.google.com/web/tools/workbox/reference-docs /latest/module-workbox-routing Precaching https://developers.google.com/web/tools/workbox/reference-docs /latest/module-workbox-precaching More Info
Workbox provides simple implementations for common service worker caching strategies
Caching strategies
Network-First Image from web.dev
Network-First workbox.routing.registerRoute( /\.jpg$/, new workbox.strategies.NetworkFirst() );
Network-First workbox.routing.registerRoute( /\.jpg$/, new workbox.strategies.NetworkFirst({ networkTimeoutSeconds: 3 }) );
Cache-First Image from web.dev
Cache-First workbox.routing.registerRoute( /\.css$/, new workbox.strategies.CacheFirst() );
Stale-While-Revalidate Image from web.dev
Stale-While-Revalidate workbox.routing.registerRoute( (context) => context.url.pathname.startsWith('/blog'), new workbox.strategies.StaleWhileRevalidate() );
❖ Nothing special other than they can use Workbox Plugins

Workbox plugins
Using plugins workbox.routing.registerRoute( /\.jpg$/, new workbox.strategies.CacheFirst({ plugins: [ /* plugins
here */ ] }) );
ExpirationPlugin, expire after some time workbox.routing.registerRoute( /\.jpg$/, new workbox.strategies.CacheFirst({ cacheName:
'image-cache', plugins: [ new workbox.expiration.ExpirationPlugin({ maxAgeSeconds: 10 }) ] }) );
ExpirationPlugin, custom cache name workbox.routing.registerRoute( /\.jpg$/, new workbox.strategies.CacheFirst({ cacheName: 'image-cache',
plugins: [ new workbox.expiration.ExpirationPlugin({ maxAgeSeconds: 10 }) ] }) );
ExpirationPlugin, limit number of entries workbox.routing.registerRoute( /\.jpg$/, new workbox.strategies.CacheFirst({ cacheName:
'image-cache', plugins: [ new workbox.expiration.ExpirationPlugin({ maxEntries: 1 }) ] }) );
ExpirationPlugin
ExpirationPlugin
BroadcastUpdatePlugin workbox.routing.registerRoute( /\/blog\/.+$/, new workbox.strategies.StaleWhileRevalidate({ plugins: [ new workbox.broadcastUpdate.BroadcastUpdatePlugin() ]
}) );
BroadcastUpdatePlugin, handle in main page // index.js navigator.serviceWorker.onmessage = event
=> { if (event.data.meta === 'workbox-broadcast-update') { displayUpdateAvailableUI(); } };

Custom Plugins https://developers.google.com/web/tools/workbox/guides /using-plugins#custom_plugins Using Plugins https://developers.google.com/web/tools/workbox/guides /using-plugins More Info
Use Workbox with popular JavaScript frameworks. Webpack plugin
Install dependencies npm install -D workbox-webpack-plugin
GenerateSW plugin const {GenerateSW} = require('workbox-webpack-plugin'); module.exports = { /*
... */ plugins: [ new GenerateSW({ swDest: 'sw.js' }) ] };
InjectManifest plugin const {InjectManifest} = require('workbox-webpack-plugin'); module.exports = { /*
... */ plugins: [ new InjectManifest({ swSrc: './www/sw.js' }) ] };
InjectManifest plugin // sw.js importScripts('https://storage.googleapis.com/...'); workbox.precaching.precacheAndRoute([ {url: '/', revision: 'v1'},
{url: '/classes', revision: 'v1'}, {url: '/index.css', revision: 'v1'}, {url: '/index.js', revision: 'v1'} ]);
InjectManifest plugin, add injection point // sw.js importScripts('https://storage.googleapis.com/...'); workbox.precaching.precacheAndRoute( self.__WB_MANIFEST
);
InjectManifest plugin, build result // dist/sw.js importScripts('https://storage.googleapis.com/...'); workbox.precaching.precacheAndRoute([ {'revision':'b91028...','url':'index.329fc4.js'}, {'revision':'20420e...','url':'index.html'}
]);
Update service worker imports // sw.js import {precacheAndRoute} from 'workbox-precaching';
precacheAndRoute(self.__WB_MANIFEST);
Update service worker imports import {registerRoute} from 'workbox-routing'; import {StaleWhileRevalidate}
from 'workbox-strategies'; import {BroadcastUpdatePlugin} from 'workbox-broadcast-update'; registerRoute( /\/blog\/.+$/, new StaleWhileRevalidate({ plugins: [new BroadcastUpdatePlugin()] }) );

a.k.a I didn’t know where to put these content so
I’ll just put them at the end... Common recipes
Cache Google Fonts workbox.routing.registerRoute( (context) => context.url.origin === 'https://fonts.googleapis.com', new
