Service worker and IndexedDB!

I already have a related repo on service workers: https://github.com/hchiam/learning-service-workers

To update a service worker, you need to close the page controlled by the service worker, or navigate to a page that it doesn't control.

Service workers can have scope explicitly set (but defaults to the containing folder path the SW script sits in):

navigator.serviceWorker.register("/sw.js", {
  scope: "/my-app/",
  // will control a page at /my-app/ or /my-app/hello/world,
  // but not / nor /another-app,
  // but also surprisingly neither /my-app because of the lack of trailing slash
});

You can respond with an HTML response:

self.addEventListener("fetch", function (event) {
  event.respondWith(
    new Response('<div class="a-winner-is-me">Hello!</div>', {
      headers: {
        "content-type": "text/html",
      },
    })
  );
});

Set: cache.put(request, response); or cache.addAll(['/foo','/bar']);.

Get: cache.match(request); or caches.match(request);.

You can find IndexedDB in browser dev tools.

Tip: use the idb library for a friendlier API. npm install idb

Database(s) { object stores { keys and values and indexes. Indexes are the same data but ordered by particular properties.

Transaction { read or write actions. A transaction contains steps. If one step fails, DB state is as if none of the steps happened ("atomic" operation - see the "Clean Code" book by Robert Martin).

1. Look here first: https://github.com/jakearchibald/idb
2. Then find things like expected parameters here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/IndexedDB_API (but the idb library returns a promise instead of a request object).

git clone https://github.com/jakearchibald/wittr
cd wittr
npm install
npm run serve
# open https://localhost:8888
# open https://localhost:8889

then any of the following:

git reset --hard; git checkout task-register-sw
git reset --hard; git checkout task-custom-response
git reset --hard; git checkout task-install
git reset --hard; git checkout task-cache-response
