Usage

🚀 Installation

$ npm install @americanexpress/one-service-worker --save

# or

$ yarn add @americanexpress/one-service-worker

🚛 Importing

one-service-worker can be imported from multiple formats to match your building setup, all from the same entry-point.

esm

import {
  register,
  isServiceWorkerSupported,
} from '@americanexpress/one-service-worker';

cjs

const {
  register,
  isServiceWorkerSupported,
} = require('@americanexpress/one-service-worker');

📦 Unpacking

Universal module definitions

one-service-worker comes with pre-built library bundles that are ready for the browser to use. With umd format scripts, the library will be added to the global scope as oneServiceWorker when included in a given execution context.

umd

const { register, isServiceWorkerSupported } = (
  self || window
).oneServiceWorker;

`index.html`

<html>
  <body>
    <script src="@americanexpress/one-service-worker/index.min.js"></script>
    <script>
      const { register, postMessage } = window.oneServiceWorker;
      await register('/sw.js', { scope: '/' });
      await postMessage({ id: 'ping' });
    </script>
  </body>
</html>

There is a gzipped file @americanexpress.../index.min.js.gz for convenience; both the minified and gzipped builds are sourced from the index.umd.js build output.

`sw.js`

importScripts('@americanexpress/one-service-worker/index.min.js');

const { on, messageContext, messenger } = self.oneServiceWorker;

on('message', [
  messageContext(),
  messenger({
    ping: event => {
      /* perform asynchronous actions on message with id 'ping' */
      event.waitUntil(Promise.resolve());
    },
  }),
]);

importScripts is a browser ( WebWorker ) construct and not understood by bundlers or node.js. Without extra tooling, treat this path as if it is a relative path (or absolute url) to your web/static server.

ES modules

With esm, we can source one-service-worker library modules individually to get the most out of tree-shaking (when bundling). It can help out with scoping a service worker into feature sets.

`sw.js`

importScripts('/sw.caching.js');

`sw.caching.js`

(via @americanexpress/one-service-worker/es/)

import { configure } from '@americanexpress/one-service-worker/es/runtime.js';
import { addAll } from '@americanexpress/one-service-worker/es/cache.js';
import { on } from '@americanexpress/one-service-worker/es/events.js';

configure({
  events: true,
});

on('activate', event => {
  event.waitUntil(addAll(['app.js', 'vendor.js', 'styles.css']));
});

the ES import/export syntax will not work in the service worker as it is, as it requires bundling by a tool like rollup or webpack.

`index.html`

(or via @americanexpress/one-service-worker/index.es.js)

<html>
  <body>
    <script type="module">
      import {
        register,
      } from '@americanexpress/one-service-worker/index.es.js';
       await register('/sw.js', { scope: '/' });
    </script>
  </body>
</html>

🏃‍♀️ Quick Start 🏃‍♂

Prerequisite: the service worker requires a secure origin using https. For local development, we can use localhost with most browser vendors.

Before starting, please take the time to review our guide on Best Practices.

`sw.js` - Service Worker Thread

import {
  configure,
  skipWaiting,
  clientsClaim,
  appShell,
  manifest,
  precache,
  cacheRouter,
  escapeHatchRoute,
  navigationPreloadActivation,
  navigationPreloadResponse,
} from '@americanexpress/one-service-worker';

// to configure the library runtime, you can enable and disable features
configure({
  navigationPreload: true,
});

// ready-made middleware can help you
// apply common patterns quickly
on('install', skipWaiting());

// with `on`, we can bind to events as we normally would
// with self.addEventListener(...), with the addition of
// accepting an array of event handlers, creating a
// middleware stack that share a context (more on that later)
on('activate', [
  // whenever a service worker is activated,
  // claiming the active clients is done to control
  // the open windows/tabs without needing to reload
  clientsClaim(),
  // middleware can react to configuration
  // and act based on settings, during the
  // appropriate lifecycle
  navigationPreloadActivation(),
  // during activation (runs on installs and updates),
  // we can ensure our precache store is ready for quick
  // cache matching and offline fallback
  precache(['client.js']),
]);

// we stack the middleware in the order
// we want them performed
on('fetch', [
  // if we ever need to bail out of using the service worker
  // a fetch request or browser navigation to the given route
  // and the service worker will be unregistered
  escapeHatchRoute({ route: '/__sw/__escapeHatch' }),
  // in the event of `event.preloadResponse`,
  // we use it to respond and fallback to fetch
  navigationPreloadResponse(),
  // to support offline navigation, having an app shell gives
  // us a fallback on navigation requests, while refreshing
  // when online and when the shell route is matched
  appShell({ route: '/index.html' }),
  // middleware can be used to create a response
  // without needing to go to the server and directly
  // from the service worker
  manifest(
    {
      name: 'my-app',
      short_name: 'app',
      start_url: '/index.html',
      icons: [],
    },
    '/manifest.webmanifest',
  ),
  // router matching middleware for selecting
  // which fetch traffic to cache and which to
  // respond to from the cache
  cacheRouter({
    cacheName: 'js-cache',
    match: ({ request }) => request.url.endsWith('.js'),
  }),
  // more advanced middleware will use event context
  // to communicate between middleware. The cacheRouter
  // adds { request, cacheName } to context on match for the
  // expiration middleware to tag and manage for 7 days
  expiration({ maxAge: 7 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000 }),
]);

`client.js` - Main Thread

import {
  once,
  register,
  isServiceWorkerSupported,
} from '@americanexpress/one-service-worker';

// guard against unsupported features
if (isServiceWorkerSupported()) {
  // first thing we need to do is
  // install the service worker
  register('/sw.js', {
    scope: '/',
    updateViaCache: 'none',
  })
    .catch(console.error)
    .then(console.log);

  once('registration', function onRegistration(registration) {
    fetch('/manifest.webmanifest')
      .then(response => response.json())
      .then(console.log);
  });
} else {
  // do nothing and inform dependents on lack of support
}
