Add more service-worker functionality with create-

问题:

So create-react-app includes service worker functionality by default, which is lovely - all my static assets get cached for offline use out of the box. Cool, but now I want to take things a bit further and use indexedDB to cache some dynamic content.

Problem is, there's no service-worker.js file to modify. It gets generated during the build process.

Is there a way to add additional logic without ejecting create-react-app or redoing all the nice static caching stuff?

回答1:

As you've observed, create-react-app's config is locked down, and the service worker logic is entirely defined in the config.

If you'd rather not eject but you want some customization, another option is to modify the create-react-app build process to explicitly call the sw-precache CLI after the normal build has completed, overwriting the service-worker.js that create-react-app generates by default. Because this involves modifying your local package.json, it doesn't require ejecting first.

There's some info on this approach here, and the general idea is modifying your npm scripts to look something like:

"build": "react-scripts build && sw-precache --config=sw-precache-config.js"

With sw-precache-config.js configured based on your needs, but including

swFilePath: './build/service-worker.js'

to ensure that the built-in service-worker.js is overwritten.

回答2:

I had the same problem and without doing eject, I could replace the default service-worker with workbox-generated one to add runtime caching webfonts, api calls, etc.

1. install workbox-build
2. prepare src/sw-template.js to add your registerRoute calls
3. prepare /build-sw.js to copy workbox file to 'build' folder and injectManifest
4. modify package.json scripts to run above build-sw.js
5. modify src/registerServiceWorker.js to replace the default one
