PWA Deep Dive: Offlineanwendungen im Griff

PWA Deep Dive: Offlineanwendungen im Griff

Zentrale Eigenschaft jeder Progressive Web App (PWA) ist die Verbindungsunabhängigkeit. Dank dem Service Worker funktioniert die App auch dann, wenn der Anwender gerade offline ist: im Tunnel, im Park oder im Dschungel. Bei der Generierung eines Service Workers hilft das Toolkit Workbox. Anwenderdaten werden hingegen in der Browserdatenbank IndexedDB hinterlegt. Wo Daten offline gehalten werden, müssen aber auch deren Synchronisierung und Konfliktauflösung in der Architektur bedacht werden.

Christian Liebel zeigt Ihnen die Mechanik hinter dem Service-Worker-Cache und der Browserdatenbank IndexedDB, sodass es auch Ihre PWA mit den nativen Gegenstücken problemlos aufnehmen kann.

  5. Offline Capability Challenge: Connection strength varies a lot (especially en

    route) Lie-Fi: Connection strength of a public WiFi is weak or even completely offline Goal: App works offline or with a weak connection at least within the possibilities (e.g. OneNote) PWA Deep Dive Offlineanwendungen im Griff Offline First
  6. Principle PWA Deep Dive Offlineanwendungen im Griff Offline First -

    Draft and implement offline support first - Think about synchronization & conflicts - Don’t treat offline as an error - Make offline the default - Everything must be offline capable

  9. Key Technology Service Worker Service Worker Internet Website HTML/JS Cache

    fetch Offlineanwendungen im Griff PWA Deep Dive
  10. Worker snippet is executed in an own thread Worker can’t

    manipulate the parent document’s DOM Communication via thin API (postMessage) Acts as a controller/proxy/interceptor Performs background tasks Has to be installed before usage Relation: Scope (origin + path) Lifetime: Unrelated to tab/window PWA Deep Dive Offlineanwendungen im Griff Service Worker
  11. Lifecycle PWA Deep Dive Offlineanwendungen im Griff Service Worker Installing

    Parsed Error Activated Idle Terminated fetch/ message
  12. Basic Implementation navigator.serviceWorker.register('sw.js') .then(subscription => console.log(subscription)) .catch(err => console.error('Fehler', err));

    self.addEventListener('install', event => {}); self.addEventListener('activate', () => {}); self.addEventListener('fetch', event => {}); PWA Deep Dive Offlineanwendungen im Griff Service Worker LIVE DEMO

  14. Introduction Cache: Key-value storage Key: HTTP(S) request, value: HTTP(S) response

    Survives browser restarts (Safari: unused caches are cleared “after a few weeks”) Can be accessed from both service worker and website Isolated per origin (protocol + hostname + port) Multiple named caches per origin Cache operations are asynchronous (Promises) PWA Deep Dive Offlineanwendungen im Griff Cache API
  15. Usage 1. Open a cache 2. Store/read responses from the

    cache PWA Deep Dive Offlineanwendungen im Griff Cache API await caches.open('images') await cache.put(req, res) await cache.add(req) await cache.match(req)
  16. and Service Worker PWA Deep Dive Offlineanwendungen im Griff Cache

    API Installing Parsed Error Activated Idle Terminated fetch/ message Install cache content Remove old caches Deliver from cache
  17. Adding Requests to The Cache self.addEventListener('install', event => { event.waitUntil(

    caches.open('pwa-demo-v1') .then(cache => cache.addAll(['/', '/index.html'])) .then(() => self.skipWaiting()) ); }); PWA Deep Dive Offlineanwendungen im Griff Cache API LIVE DEMO
  18. Delivering from The Cache self.addEventListener('fetch', event => { event.respondWith( caches.match(event.request)

    .then(response => response || fetch(event.request)) ); }); PWA Deep Dive Offlineanwendungen im Griff Cache API LIVE DEMO
  19. Caching Strategies 1. Cache only 2. Network only 3. Cache

    falling back to network 4. Cache & network race 5. Network falling back to cache 6. Cache then network 7. Generic Fallback 8. Service-Worker-side templating PWA Deep Dive Offlineanwendungen im Griff Cache API https://jakearchibald.com/2014/offline-cookbook/
  20. Use Cases Service Worker - everything that’s part of a

    website/app version - application source files - assets Application - dynamic content known during runtime - “read later”, profile images, … - lookup without fetch PWA Deep Dive Offlineanwendungen im Griff Cache API

  27. Motivation 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 PWA Deep Dive Offlineanwendungen im Griff IndexedDB
  28. Overview Indexed Database (IndexedDB) is a database in the browser

    capable of storing structured data in tables with keys and value Data is stored permanently (survives browser restarts) Service Worker and website share access to the same IndexedDB database (e.g. for synchronization purposes) PWA Deep Dive Offlineanwendungen im Griff IndexedDB

  30. Overview Dexie is a minimalistic wrapper for IndexedDB Operations are

    based on promises instead of callbacks Near native performance (also for bulk inserts) Open-source PWA Deep Dive Offlineanwendungen im Griff Dexie.js
  31. Table API const table = db.table('todos'); table.toArray() // get all

    items as an array table.add() // insert an object table.put() // update or insert an object table.filter(i => i.id !== 3) // apply JS filter on value table.where({ name: 'Peter' }) // query items by key PWA Deep Dive Offlineanwendungen im Griff Dexie.js
  32. …and TypeScript class MyAppDatabase extends Dexie { todos: Dexie.Table<Todo, number>;

    constructor () { super('MyTodoDatabase'); this.version(1).stores({ todos: '++id', }); this.todos = this.table('todos'); } } PWA Deep Dive Offlineanwendungen im Griff Dexie.js LIVE DEMO

  34. Migrations db.version(1).stores({ friends: "++id,name,age" }); db.version(2).stores({ friends: "++id,name,birthdate" }).upgrade(trans =>

    { const YEAR = 365 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000; return trans.friends.toCollection().modify(friend => { friend.birthdate = new Date(Date.now() - (friend.age * YEAR)); delete friend.age; }); }); PWA Deep Dive Offlineanwendungen im Griff Dexie.js
  35. Make use of the Offline First pattern Use Cache API

    for HTTPS requests Use IndexedDB for structured data Use Service Workers for initial caching and delivering cached content Think about data synchronization & conflict handling for structured data Make your users happy! PWA Deep Dive Offlineanwendungen im Griff Summary
