I have implemented Workbox to generate my service worker using webpack.
This works pretty well - I can confirm that revision is updated in the generated service worker when running yarn run generate-sw (package.json: "generate-sw": "workbox inject:manifest").
The problem is - I have noticed my clients are not updating the cache after a new release.
Even days after updating the service worker my clients are still caching the old code and new code will only cache after several refreshes and/or unregister the service worker.
For each release the const CACHE_DYNAMIC_NAME = 'dynamic-v1.1.0' is updated.
How can I ensure that clients updates the cache immediately after a new release?
serviceWorker-base.js
importScripts('workbox-sw.prod.v2.1.3.js')
const CACHE_DYNAMIC_NAME = 'dynamic-v1.1.0'
const workboxSW = new self.WorkboxSW()
// Cache then network for fonts
workboxSW.router.registerRoute(
/.*(?:googleapis)\.com.*$/,
workboxSW.strategies.staleWhileRevalidate({
cacheName: 'google-font',
cacheExpiration: {
maxEntries: 1,
maxAgeSeconds: 60 * 60 * 24 * 28
}
})
)
// Cache then network for css
workboxSW.router.registerRoute(
'/dist/main.css',
workboxSW.strategies.staleWhileRevalidate({
cacheName: 'css'
})
)
// Cache then network for avatars
workboxSW.router.registerRoute(
'/img/avatars/:avatar-image',
workboxSW.strategies.staleWhileRevalidate({
cacheName: 'images-avatars'
})
)
// Cache then network for images
workboxSW.router.registerRoute(
'/img/:image',
workboxSW.strategies.staleWhileRevalidate({
cacheName: 'images'
})
)
// Cache then network for icons
workboxSW.router.registerRoute(
'/img/icons/:image',
workboxSW.strategies.staleWhileRevalidate({
cacheName: 'images-icons'
})
)
// Fallback page for html files
workboxSW.router.registerRoute(
(routeData)=>{
// routeData.url
return (routeData.event.request.headers.get('accept').includes('text/html'))
},
(args) => {
return caches.match(args.event.request)
.then((response) => {
if (response) {
return response
}else{
return fetch(args.event.request)
.then((res) => {
return caches.open(CACHE_DYNAMIC_NAME)
.then((cache) => {
cache.put(args.event.request.url, res.clone())
return res
})
})
.catch((err) => {
return caches.match('/offline.html')
.then((res) => { return res })
})
}
})
}
)
workboxSW.precache([])
// Own vanilla service worker code
self.addEventListener('notificationclick', function (event){
let notification = event.notification
let action = event.action
console.log(notification)
if (action === 'confirm') {
console.log('Confirm was chosen')
notification.close()
} else {
const urlToOpen = new URL(notification.data.url, self.location.origin).href;
const promiseChain = clients.matchAll({ type: 'window', includeUncontrolled: true })
.then((windowClients) => {
let matchingClient = null;
let matchingUrl = false;
for (let i=0; i < windowClients.length; i++){
const windowClient = windowClients[i];
if (windowClient.visibilityState === 'visible'){
matchingClient = windowClient;
matchingUrl = (windowClient.url === urlToOpen);
break;
}
}
if (matchingClient){
if(!matchingUrl){ matchingClient.navigate(urlToOpen); }
matchingClient.focus();
} else {
clients.openWindow(urlToOpen);
}
notification.close();
});
event.waitUntil(promiseChain);
}
})
self.addEventListener('notificationclose', (event) => {
// Great place to send back statistical data to figure out why user did not interact
console.log('Notification was closed', event)
})
self.addEventListener('push', function (event){
console.log('Push Notification received', event)
// Default values
const defaultData = {title: 'New!', content: 'Something new happened!', openUrl: '/'}
const data = (event.data) ? JSON.parse(event.data.text()) : defaultData
var options = {
body: data.content,
icon: '/images/icons/manifest-icon-512.png',
badge: '/images/icons/badge128.png',
data: {
url: data.openUrl
}
}
console.log('options', options)
event.waitUntil(
self.registration.showNotification(data.title, options)
)
})
Should I delete the cache manually or should Workbox do that for me?
caches.keys().then(cacheNames => {
cacheNames.forEach(cacheName => {
caches.delete(cacheName);
});
});
Kind regards /K
