A service worker helper library that uses the Broadcast Channel API to announce when a cached response has updated
This module's documentation can be found at https://developers.google.com/web/tools/workbox/modules/workbox-broadcast-update
sw-precache is a package that generates a service worker to precache resources of a web app. While it focuses on precaching and serving assets from the cache, it does not offer built-in functionality for broadcasting cache updates to the pages of an app like workbox-broadcast-update does. However, it can be used in conjunction with custom code to achieve similar effects.
sw-toolbox provides various caching strategies for handling network requests in service workers. Similar to workbox-broadcast-update, it aims to enhance offline capabilities and performance of web apps. However, sw-toolbox does not have a built-in mechanism for broadcasting updates about cached content to the app's pages. Developers would need to implement their own solution for notifying pages about cache updates.
