Progressly Enhanced Website

"Progressive Enhancement (PE) is the principle of starting with a rock-solid foundation and then adding enhancements to it if you know certain visiting user-agents can handle the improved experience."

Web Worker

No Access to DOM

Programmable Networking Proxy

if ('serviceWorker' in navigator) {
  window.addEventListener('load', function() {
    navigator.serviceWorker.register('/sw.js').then(function(registration) {
      // Registration was successful
      console.log('ServiceWorker registration successful with scope: ', 
                  registration.scope);
    }).catch(function(err) {
      // registration failed :(
      console.log('ServiceWorker registration failed: ', err);
    });
  });
} else {
  console.log('Service Worker is not supported :/');
}

1. Add manifest.json

Service Workers: An Introduction

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Service_Worker_API/Using_Service_Workers

localStorage

sessionStorage

Web SQL

File Systems API

AppCache

Synchronous

Depreciated

Only for Chrome

Depreciated

IndexedDB

Async (event-based)

Available in Chrome, Firefox, Opera

Wrappers available (PouchDB, Promise)

Cache API

Async (Promise-based)

key = Request

value = Response

Works well with Service Worker

Cache API

URL accessible resource

IndexedDB

Other resource resource

if('caches' in window) {
  caches.open('test-cache').then(cache => { 
    cache.addAll(['/', '/images/example.png'])
      .then(() => { 
        // Cached!
      });
  });
}

Adding to Cache

caches.open('test-cache').then(cache => {
  cache.match('/image/example.png').then(matchedResponse => {
    console.log(matchedResponse);
  });
});

Using Cache

1. Add manifest.json

2. Add Service Worker

3. Add more to Service Worker

PWA

No iOS support?

That's it

I'm done

Just Kidding

PWA is still awesome
