comlink VS workbox

Feels like taking a general Comlink-like system & making it more component oriented. Good ideas. https://github.com/GoogleChromeLabs/comlink

Reminds me of Comlink

Now that we have a way to create PDF files, we can create a web worker to run the renderPDF function in a separate thread. Here’s an example of a web worker that uses comlink to expose the renderPDF function as an asynchronous function:

To streamline the process of configuring the Service Worker and simplify communication between the app and the Service Worker, we will be using the comlink library.

While there's no realistic way to provide a security boundary between JavaScript modules, Workers are a possibility [1].

The code with the more restricted set of permissions must run in the Worker. That code then communicates with the rest of your app through postMessage / SharedArrayBuffer, perhaps using ComLink [2].

The worker API is very simple, you would post a message to the worker. The worker would have the code to process and reply back with the results to the listeners. To make it even easier Google has created the comlink library.

We use the Workbox library and its utilities as a foundation for our service worker.

Btw, Workbox is effectively deprecated now. The dev in charge of it left Google for a real company 6+ months ago and no one has filled his shoes. The other day, the lady who is "maintaining" it now finally acknowledged that nothing is going to happen to it any time soon. https://github.com/GoogleChrome/workbox/issues/3149

Start from the https://github.com/GoogleChrome/workbox

Look into Workbox if you're okay writing code for that or Progressier otherwise.

If you want to try some of these patterns, you can use the https://developers.google.com/web/tools/workbox library that provides all the features out-of-the-box.

Here is an example using workbox.

I recently had a tiny website project which I wanted to make available offline. This is achieved by adding a Service Worker. And thanks to projects like workbox, getting basic functionality like caching for offline-use is fairly easy to set up.
