Progressive Web Apps – Hands on!

Stellen Sie sich vor, Sie schreiben Ihre moderne Businessanwendung genau einmal – und sie läuft auf Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS und im Browser. Diese Anwendungen werden per Fingertippen aus dem Browser auf dem Gerät installiert, können Pushbenachrichtigungen empfangen und funktionieren auch dann, wenn das Wi-Fi im Zug gerade mal wieder nicht funktioniert. Das klingt fantastisch? Dank Progressive Web Apps (PWA) wird all das Wirklichkeit. Mit Hilfe moderner Webtechnologien wird aus einer Webanwendung eine App, die einer nativen App in nichts nachsteht. In diesem Workshop zeigt Ihnen Christian Liebel die Grundlagen der PWA-Entwicklung. Und Sie können aktiv mitentwickeln!

13. Responsive Progressive Web Apps Hands on! PWA Features
14. One size fits all A single website layout for different screen resolutions (typically related to the screen’s width) Definition of trigger points at which the layout changes Mobile first: Create (minimal) mobile views first, then proceed with larger screens, so all devices get the best experience Key technologies: CSS3 Media Queries, CSS Flexible Box Layout, CSS Grid Layout Progressive Web Apps Hands on! Responsive
15. Frameworks • Angular Material • ngx-admin • Bootstrap • Foundation • Framework7 • Custom-tailored solution Progressive Web Apps Hands on! Responsive

20. Discoverable Progressive Web Apps Hands on! PWA Features
21. Distinguish Web Apps from Websites How to distinguish websites from apps? Idea: Add a file with metadata for apps only Advantage: Apps can be identified by search engines, app store providers etc. Web App Manifest <link rel="manifest" href="manifest.webmanifest"> Discoverable Hands on! Progressive Web Apps
22. manifest.webmanifest { "short_name": "PWA Demo", "name": "My PWA Demo", "icons": [ { "src": "assets/icon-144x144.png", "sizes": "144x144", "type": "image/png" } ], "start_url": "/index.html", "display": "standalone" } Web App Manifest Title Icons Start URL Display Type Age Rating Additional Config Description Related Apps Hands on!

36. Connectivity Independent Part 1 Progressive Web Apps Hands on! PWA Features
37. Progressive Web Apps Hands on! Offline capability with Service Worker System Website HTML/JS Cache Storage Remote storage Server Internet fetch HTTP Service Worker
38. Overview Implements a “one-size-fits-all” service worker Instrumented via ngsw-config.json Restricted feature set (e.g., no communication between app and SW) • Initial caching of static content • Caching external content • Dynamic Caching • Push notifications @angular/service-worker Hands on! Progressive Web Apps
39. Debugging More information on installed service workers can be found on • chrome://serviceworker- internals (Google Chrome) • about:serviceworkers (Mozilla Firefox) Progressive Web Apps Hands on! Service Worker
40. Debugging Debug Service Workers using Chrome Developer Tools Progressive Web Apps Hands on! Service Worker LAB #7
41. Fresh Progressive Web Apps Hands on! PWA Features
42. Keep your app up-to-date The Service Worker caches a specific version of your application. If the user is online, you want to deliver the latest version of your app. When new versions become available, you might want to notify the user to update the application. Progressive Web Apps Hands on! Fresh
43. @angular/service-worker Update Process Progressive Web Apps Hands on! Fresh V1 V2 V2 V1 V1 V2 Server Browser
44. SwUpdate @angular/service-worker offers an SwUpdate service This service provides an available observable that fires when there’s an update. As a result, the user can be prompted to reload the website. Progressive Web Apps Hands on! Fresh
45. App-like, Connectivity Independent, Fresh Check for application updates swUpdate.available.subscribe(() => …); Progressive Web Apps Hands on! Fresh LAB #8
46. Connectivity Independent Part 2 Progressive Web Apps Hands on! PWA Features
47. Orthogonal to Service Workers The web platform has different techniques to store arbitrary data (e.g. application state) offline: • Web Storage API (Local Storage/Session Storage—synchronous!) • Cookies (inconvenient) • IndexedDB Progressive Web Apps Hands on! Offline Capability
48. IndexedDB Progressive Web Apps Hands on! Offline Capability
49. IndexedDB let db; const request = indexedDB. open('TestDB'); request.onerror = err => { console.error('boo!'); }; request.onsuccess = evt => { db = request.result; }; IndexedDB API is inconvenient const db = new Dexie('TestDB'); Progressive Web Apps Hands on! Offline Capability
50. Dexie.js Dexie is a minimalistic wrapper for IndexedDB Operations are based on promises instead of callbacks Near native performance (also for bulk inserts) Open-source Progressive Web Apps Hands on! Offline Capability
51. IndexedDB Model { "id": "2db0d3e5-…", "title": "Angular lernen", "done": false } Install packages npm i dexie uuid --save-dev Dexie.js Table API Implement a TodoService with getAll & add methods Progressive Web Apps Hands on! Offline Capability LAB #9
52. Safe Progressive Web Apps Hands on! PWA Features
53. PWAs Require HTTPS! Service workers are very powerful • Can answer representatively for the server • Runs outside of the tab’s/window’s lifecycle Installation of service workers is only allowed via a secure connection Exception: localhost (for development purposes) PWAs can only be delivered via HTTPS Problem: TLS certificates are required (costs/renewal) Safe Hands on! Progressive Web Apps
54. Free with automatic renewal Initiative of the Linux Foundation Automatic domain validation (Class 1) Website/Webservice has to be public available Period of validity: Comparatively short (90 days) Usage of TLS/SSL as easy as possible Plugins are available for IIS, Apache, Microsoft Azure, Plesk, … free!
