Previously, the ServiceWorker registration options should be defined as
an object literal (in order for them to be compatible with Ahead-of-Time
compilation), thus making it impossible to base the ServiceWorker
behavior on runtime conditions.
This commit allows specifying the registration options using a regular
provider, which means that it can take advantage of the `useFactory`
option to determine the config at runtime, while still remaining
compatible with AoT compilation.
PR Close#21842
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.
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.
