pwa-module VS vite-plugin-pwa

My go-to is https://pwa.nuxtjs.org/ + pwabuilder. You can have the barebones scaffolding made in 1 minute. Then just add your custom UI/logic, and deploy, and point the PWA Builder at the deployed Nuxt site, and it will generate your App store package.

In terms of stack I would recommend taking a look at Vue and Nuxt. There is a PWA module for Nuxt, which handles everything for you, so you literally only need to add 5 lines of config (implementing service workers yourself can be tedious).

Note that if your original project is built with Nuxt (a Vue meta-framework), you have a better-suited solution readily available in the Nuxt PWA module. Nuxt and its ecosystem of plugins are a bit much to tackle in the scope of this post, but the same PWA general principles we’ll cover here apply there, too. The difference is how the config options are entered. So, while the concepts translate, if you’re using Nuxt, I’ll refer you to the Nuxt PWA module docs for the details.

The stack behind Journalistic is Django and Nuxt. The nuxt/pwa module takes care of everything PWA-related on the app side: manifest, service worker, etc. Easy peasy.

It's Nuxt.js with @nuxtjs/pwa, BTW.

Nuxt.js modules: Progressive Web App (PWA)

I am trying to glue together a Nuxt 3 PWA with vite-plugin-pwa, more specifically @vite-pwa/nuxt. I installed the module and set up basic configuration (I basically followed this video)

Depends on your needs for storing app data and will you persist that data too? Supabase and Nuxt go really well together but if you are needing to store data in supabase's postgres database I'd high recommend adding Prisma to your stack as well. You may already have this too the but nuxt pwa module is a great way to get setup as well: https://vite-pwa-org.netlify.app/ I've built a couple of ecommerce headless shopify shops and a couple of sites with Nuxt 3 so far and am loving the dev experience with it. But I'm by no means and expert too. YMMV.

All you need to make a Vite app into a PWA is this: https://github.com/vite-pwa/vite-plugin-pwa

PWA is created with vite-pwa/vite-plugin-pwa, and its parameters are set in vite.config.js. In summary, the implementation of PWA was not a project aim, but it did provide good caching of all project components and resulted in a very quick reopening of the site.

vite-plugin-pwa

I'm afraid that I can't help you since I don't have much experience in creating my own service worker. Instead, I'm using a library that helps me with that. This is the library I use on my project, and it works pretty well in updating the service worker. Although it is built for Vite, the fundamental logic should be the same.

I’m particularly fond of the pwa plugin AntFu did with vite-plugin-pwa.

I recently switched my app to use Vite instead of CRA, along with that I started using vite-plugin-pwa to manage the service worker of my app, and it has been working like magic. Even with my app being served behind a cache in Cloudfront, whenever I deploy I wait 20 seconds and it suddenly starts fetching the new bundle. You can cofigure it to automatically reload the page, or to notify the user when there is an update available to reload.

Hey there, have a look at the examples
