THIS IS NOT A NEW IDEA

“ The full Safari engine is inside of iPhone. And so, you can write amazing Web 2.0 and Ajax apps that look exactly and behave exactly like apps on the iPhone. And these apps can integrate perfectly with iPhone services. — Steve Jobs, 2007

“ The fundamental problem on the iPhone is not Apple’s App Store approval policies, but the iPhone developers’ arrogant disdain for Web technologies. I reviewed the apps I have on my iPhone, and most can be released as a Web app right now. — Peter Paul Koch, 2009

SERVICE WORKERS

“ Application Cache is a Douchebag! — Jake Archibald

? ×

if ('serviceWorker' in navigator) { navigator.serviceWorker.register('/sw.js'); }

THE SERVICE WORKER RUNS JAVASCRIPT CODE :-)

sw.js self.addEventListener('install', function(event) { // Perform install steps });

sw.js self.addEventListener('install', function(event) { event.waitUntil( caches.open('v1').then(function(cache) { return cache.addAll([ '/index.html', '/styles/main.css', '/scripts/main.js' ]); }) ); });

return cache.addAll([ '/index.html', '/styles/main.css', '/scripts/main.js' ]); }) sw.js ); }); self.addEventListener('fetch', function(event) { // Intercept network requests });

return cache.addAll([ '/index.html', '/styles/main.css', '/scripts/main.js' ]); }) sw.js ); }); self.addEventListener('fetch', function(event) { event.respondWith( caches.match(event.request) .then(function(response) { if (response) { return response; } return fetch(event.request); } ) ); });

THE SERVICE WORKER IS INDEPENDENT OF YOUR WEBPAGE

PUSH NOTIFICATIONS

WEB PUSH API WEB PUSH PROTOCOL WEB NOTIFICATIONS SERVICE WORKERS

navigator.serviceWorker.ready.then(function(sw) { sw.pushManager.subscribe().then(function(subscription) { // Send subscription to server }) })

Send the subscription data to our server, including the URL of the push server

The webpage is closed and the service worker is sleeping

The server has new information for the user

The server sends a message to the push server using the Web Push protocol

The push server wakes up the service worker

self.addEventListener('push', function(event) { // We received a push message });

(optional)

self.registration.showNotification('Attention!', { body: 'Push message received', icon: 'icon.png' }); (optional)

The webpage is still closed and the service worker is sleeping again
