## Features
|
|
|
|
This web part demonstrates using the OfflineFirstHTTPService how to do offline
|
|
first HTTP Requests.
|
|
|
|
HTTP Get requests are first retrieved from an offline storage system. Either
|
|
localStorage, IndexedDB, WebSQL or SessionStorage, but maybe not in that order.
|
|
Then the live request is using fetch, then stored locally, errors are placed into
|
|
a queue for when available.
|
|
|
|
HTTP Posts/Updates/Deletes are executed differently to GET requests, they always
|
|
make a HTTP request using fetch, but on failure are added to the queue.
|
|
|
|
The Queue system collects all failed HTTP Requests and when the user is online
|
|
will try to make the requests again, all requests are async so will not cause
|
|
any blocking for the user.
|
|
|
|
This Web Part illustrates the following concepts on top of the SharePoint Framework:
|
|
|
|
- Using offline first techniques, store locally, retrieve locally before making
|
|
HTTP requests.
|
|
- Async looping, can be found in the Queue System.
|
|
- Performance techniques for browsers, async looping does not block render,
|
|
using local storage first reduces the time to draw the initial page load.
