Implements a service worker for Angular apps.
|
||
|
|
Adding a service worker to an Angular app is one of the steps for turning it into a Progressive Web App (also known as a PWA).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
At its simplest, a service worker is a script that runs in the web browser and manages caching for an application.
|
||
|
|
Service workers function as a network proxy. They intercept all outgoing HTTP requests made by the application and can choose how to respond to them.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To set up the Angular service worker in your project, use the CLI `add` command.
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
ng add @angular/pwa
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The command configures your app to use service workers by adding the service-worker package
|
||
|
|
and generating the necessary support files.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
