npm install browser-server
First generate the service worker, using the browser-server command line tool
npm install -g browser-server
# /demo is the prefix you want to intercept
browser-server /demo > worker.js
Then create a simple app and browserify it
var createServer = require('browser-server')
var server = createServer()
server.on('request', function (req, res) {
console.log('intercepting request', req)
res.end('hello world')
})
server.on('ready', function () {
fetch('/demo/test.txt').then(function (r) {
return r.text()
}).then(function (txt) {
console.log('fetch returned', txt)
})
})
Then browserify this app
browserify app.js > bundle.js
And make a index.html page like this
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<script src="bundle.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
Make sure the worker.js file is also stored in the same folder.
Now serve the folder using a http server, fx
npm install -g http-server
http-server .
Now if you open index.html you should see the server intercepting the request and returning hello world.
Works for all http apis, including video/audio tags!
