uuid VS next-pwa

I got this error when using a library with ECMAScript Module (ESM), such as [udid](https://github.com/uuidjs/uuid):

It has been decided to use uuid Version 4 for all of them. Noteworthy is the CommentId, which serves as the identifier for entities within the boundary, meaning local identifiers. For this case, there is no necessity to use uuid. Evans used positions such as front-left, rear-left, front- right, and rear-right to identify the wheels of a car. However, unlike wheels, no straightforward, real-world, understandable means of identification for CommentId came to my mind, so the uuid framework was adopted as a convenient and easy generation method.

.husky: Git hooks are custom scripts that run in response to some event (e.g. before a commit is created), and they can choose to abort that event under certain conditions. One of their main drawbacks though is that they live inside the .git folder, which means they cannot be directly versioned like the rest of the project. This folder is used by the popular Husky package that makes it possible to include Git hooks with your project and it takes care of installing them to their appropriate location so they can be detected by Git. Example from uuid.

Some popular npm packages for generating UUIDs in JavaScript are the uuid and short-uuid packages.

My first thought is to use something like https://github.com/uuidjs/uuid

activePlayers is a map of unique player IDs (determined by clients via uuid to timestamps of when they last made a GET https://farmhand.vercel.app/api/get-market-data?room=global request. Each time the function is invoked, it examines the map to see which timestamps are older than the HEARTBEAT_INTERVAL_PERIOD (currently 10 seconds) and deletes any that are expired. This data is returned to the client and also written back to Redis to be persisted across function invocations. This is how the active room participants are tracked.

By default Next.js uses nanoid to produce build ids so I used that too. You don't have to use it, there are other options, such as uuid.

You need to include some third-party libraries such as CometChat Widget, Uuid, Validator, Firebase via CDN because you are building the Javascript chat app. Therefore, npm should not be used here. You need to add those libraries for some reasons:

/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */ const path = require("path"); const isDev = process.env.NODE_ENV !== "production"; const withPWA = require("next-pwa")({ dest: "public", disable: isDev, buildExcludes: ["app-build-manifest.json"], }); const generateAppDirEntry = (entry) => { const packagePath = require.resolve("next-pwa"); const packageDirectory = path.dirname(packagePath); const registerJs = path.join(packageDirectory, "register.js"); return entry().then((entries) => { // Register SW on App directory, solution: https://github.com/shadowwalker/next-pwa/pull/427 if (entries["main-app"] && !entries["main-app"].includes(registerJs)) { if (Array.isArray(entries["main-app"])) { entries["main-app"].unshift(registerJs); } else if (typeof entries["main-app"] === "string") { entries["main-app"] = [registerJs, entries["main-app"]]; } } return entries; }); }; const nextConfig = { experimental: { appDir: true, }, reactStrictMode: true, webpack(config) { if( !isDev ){ const entry = generateAppDirEntry(config.entry); config.entry = () => entry; } return config; }, }; module.exports = withPWA(nextConfig);

Thank you for trying it and asking questions. Let me reply to them below.

> Could you give a brief overview of how the project is built, or what libraries are used? I found two in the source, React and Workbox. I've never heard of Workbox before, and I'm still figuring out how service workers are used. But it seems like a big part of the source.

For building, I used Next.js with static generation, not using Server-side rendering. But it's not an important part because it doesn't rely on Next.js features so much.

About Workbox, the app uses them with next-pwa (https://github.com/shadowwalker/next-pwa) for providing caching strategies and offline behavior as Progressive Web App. For example, the app registers several precached files via Workbox. Precached files are fetched and cached by the service worker and these caches can be used while offline. Also, Workbox can configure runtime caching strategies. You can see details in Workbox documentation (https://developer.chrome.com/docs/workbox/).

The app also uses the Service Worker to connect IndexedDB as a local database and send HTTP requests to synchronize data with Google Drive. By using the Service Worker, these methods don't block the user interaction from the main thread and Service Worker can run in the background to synchronize data even if the browser window is suddenly closed.

We tried to use next-offline and next-pwa, but we were only able to precache the static assets.

It's possible that next-pwa might support precaching pages in the future. Subscribe to issue 252 to keep up to date on that.

I am currently using the opt-in integration for the CRA pwa. I kind of wanted to test out migrating to Next. I know NextJs has a pwa plugin. Does anyone have any experience migrating with this in mind (from cra to next)?

There's next-offline and next-pwa (and some comparison too). But has anyone here made a PWA with NextJS? Now I am not only referring to service workers/offline functionality, but also icons, adding to homescreen, manifest, and other PWA features. Does anyone have any good examples or guides to refer to?

next-pwa, for PWA support.
