vite-plugin-pwa
Advanced tools
vite-plugin-pwa is a plugin for Vite that enables Progressive Web App (PWA) functionalities. It helps in generating service workers, manifest files, and other PWA-related configurations to make your web application installable and offline-capable.
Generate Service Worker
This feature allows you to generate a service worker with runtime caching strategies. The code sample demonstrates how to cache image files using a 'CacheFirst' strategy.
```javascript
import { defineConfig } from 'vite';
import { VitePWA } from 'vite-plugin-pwa';
export default defineConfig({
plugins: [
VitePWA({
registerType: 'autoUpdate',
workbox: {
runtimeCaching: [
{
urlPattern: /\.(?:png|jpg|jpeg|svg|gif)$/,
handler: 'CacheFirst',
options: {
cacheName: 'images',
expiration: {
maxEntries: 10,
},
},
},
],
},
}),
],
});
```
Generate Manifest File
This feature allows you to generate a web app manifest file. The code sample shows how to configure the manifest with app name, description, theme color, and icons.
```javascript
import { defineConfig } from 'vite';
import { VitePWA } from 'vite-plugin-pwa';
export default defineConfig({
plugins: [
VitePWA({
manifest: {
name: 'My App',
short_name: 'App',
description: 'My awesome app',
theme_color: '#ffffff',
icons: [
{
src: 'icon-192x192.png',
sizes: '192x192',
type: 'image/png',
},
{
src: 'icon-512x512.png',
sizes: '512x512',
type: 'image/png',
},
],
},
}),
],
});
```
Auto Update Service Worker
This feature enables the service worker to automatically update when new content is available. The code sample shows how to set the 'registerType' to 'autoUpdate'.
```javascript
import { defineConfig } from 'vite';
import { VitePWA } from 'vite-plugin-pwa';
export default defineConfig({
plugins: [
VitePWA({
registerType: 'autoUpdate',
}),
],
});
```
workbox-webpack-plugin is a plugin for Webpack that provides similar PWA functionalities like generating service workers and caching strategies. It is more tightly integrated with Webpack and offers a comprehensive set of tools for building PWAs.
pwa-asset-generator is a tool that helps generate images and manifest files for PWAs. While it doesn't handle service workers, it complements other PWA tools by focusing on generating the necessary assets for a PWA.
next-pwa is a plugin for Next.js that adds PWA support to Next.js applications. It provides functionalities like service worker generation and caching strategies, similar to vite-plugin-pwa but specifically tailored for Next.js.
