I wanted to learn more about service workers and how they could be implemented within a React app, so I created this project.
I used create-react-app to get this thing up and going quickly, so if you wanted to run this locally, you'll need to first install it using
npm install -g create-react-app
and then run one of the following commands (as output by create-react-app):
npm start -> Starts the development server.
npm run build -> Bundles the app into static files for production.
npm test -> Starts the test runner.
I'm still in the process of learning how to test service workers within a development build, but
in the meantime, they currently work in the production build. In order to run the production build
locally, you'll need a static server. pushstate-server is the one I'm currently using as it was recommended by create-react-app, and can be installed by running:
npm install -g pushstate-server
Once it's installed, run the following command to start running the server with the output of npm run build:
pushstate-server build
Note: By default this uses port 9000
You can then view the results at localhost:9000
I used the following projects as references in building this:
