Not every application is served from the domain root. The Service
Worker made a bad assumption that it would be, and so requested
/ngsw.json from the domain root.
This change corrects this assumption, and requests ngsw.json without
the leading slash. This causes the request to be interpreted
relative to the SW origin, which will be the application root.
The Service Worker contains a mechanism by which it will postMessage
itself a signal to initialize its caches. Through this mechanism,
initialization happens asynchronously while keeping the SW process
alive.
Unfortunately in Firefox, the SW does not have the ability to
postMessage itself during the activation event. This prevents the
above mechanism from working, and the SW initializes on the next
fetch event, which is often too late.
Therefore, this change has the application wait for SW changes and
tells each new SW to initialize itself. This happens in addition to
the self-signal that the SW attempts to send (as self-signaling is
more reliable). That way even on browsers such as Firefox,
initialization happens eagerly.
Currently a bug exists where attempting to inject SwPush crashes the
application if Service Workers are unsupported. This happens because
SwPush doesn't properly detect that navigator.serviceWorker isn't
set.
This change ensures that all passive observation of SwPush and
SwUpdate doesn't cause crashes, and that calling methods to perform
actions on them results in rejected Promises. It's up to applications
to detect when those services are not available, and refrain from
attempting to use them.
To that end, this change also adds an `isSupported` getter to both
services, so users don't have to rely on feature detection directly
with browser APIs. Currently this simply detects whether the SW API
is present, but in the future it will be expanded to detect whether
a particular browser supports specific APIs (such as push
notifications, for example).
Currently, the way to not use the SW is to not install its module.
However, this means that you can't inject any of its services.
This change adds a ServiceWorkerModule.disabled() MWP, that still
registers all of the right providers but acts as if the browser does
not support Service Workers.
Observable.merge was called using .call() as if it were an operator
and not an Observable factory. This removes the .call() and uses
the factory properly.

Importing ServiceWorkerModule.register() will schedule registration of
the Service Worker inside an APP_INITIALIZER. Previously, the Promise
returned by navigator.serviceWorker.register() was returned from the
initializer function. This has the unwanted side effect of blocking
initialization until the SW is registered. Even worse, if the SW script
fails to load, this can cause the app initialization to fail.
The solution is to not return the registration promise from the
initializer function, essentially decoupling registration from the rest
of the initialization flow.
This change is not unit testable as there are no mocks/adapters yet for
navigator.serviceWorker. A future integration test should cover this case
with better fidelity.
PR Close#19936
Currently, the SwUpdate service doesn't receive messages from the SW.
This is because it attempts to subscribe to the 'message' event on
ServiceWorkerRegistration, when really messages are emitted by the
ServiceWorkerContainer.
This change moves to listening on ServiceWorkerContainer and changes
the mocks to reflect the way the browser actually works.

There is no difference in runtime (yet) between versioned and unversioned
files. Theoretically, the SW does not have to cache-bust versioned files,
but the SW doesn't cache bust files on the first request anyway, so in the
common case it doesn't matter. If the hash doesn't match, the SW will cache
bust the file to be sure, which is technically unnecessary, but since the
file itself is versioned, the likelihood of this happening is rare.
This fixes a critical bug where versioned files were erroneously not included
in the hashTable in the generated manifest. This could lead to applications
not updating if only versioned files changed in between versions.

PushEvent.data is not the data object itself, but an instance representing
the data in wire format, with methods to synchronously decode it to JSON,
ArrayBuffer, etc. NGSW assumes all push data is in JSON format.
PR Close#19764
When Cache.put() is called with a Response, it consumes the response. If
the Response is used for any other purpose (such as satisfying the
original FetchEvent) it must be cloned first.
A bug exists in the mocks used for SW tests, where this condition is not
validated. The bodies of MockResponses can be utilized repeatedly without
erroring in the same way that a real browser would. This bug is fixed by
this commit, which causes tests for the freshness strategy of data caching
to start failing.
The cause of this failure is a second bug in the data caching code, where
the Response is not cloned prior to being passed to Cache.put(). This is
also fixed.

This commit fixes several issues discovered through use in real apps.
* The sha1() function operated on text content, causing issues for binary-format files.
A sha1Binary() function which operates on unparsed data now avoids any encoding issues.
* The characters '?' and '+' were not escaped in Glob-to-regex conversion previously, but
are now.
* URLs from the browser contain the full origin, but were checked against the table of
hashes from the manifest which only has the path for URLs from the same origin. Now the
origin is checked and URLs are relativized to the domain root before comparison if
appropriate.
* ngsw: prefix was missing from data groups, is now added.
* Occasionally servers will return a redirected response for an asset, and caching it could
cause errors for navigation requests. The SW now handles this by detecting such responses
and following the redirect manually, to avoid caching a redirected response.
* The request for known assets is now created from scratch from the URL before fetching from
the network, in order to sanitize it and avoid carrying any special modes or headers that
might result in opaque responses.
* Debugging log for troubleshooting.
* Avoid creating errors by returning 504 responses on error.
* Fix bug where idle queue doesn't run in some circumstances.
* Add tests for the above.
This service worker is a conceptual derivative of the existing @angular/service-worker maintained at github.com/angular/mobile-toolkit, but has been rewritten to support use across a much wider variety of applications.
Entrypoints include:
@angular/service-worker: a library for use within Angular client apps to communicate with the service worker.
@angular/service-worker/gen: a library for generating ngsw.json files from glob-based SW config files.
@angular/service-worker/ngsw-worker.js: the bundled service worker script itself.
@angular/service-worker/ngsw-cli.js: a CLI tool for generating ngsw.json files from glob-based SW config files.
