The Beauty of Service Workers
summary
Explains concrete Service Worker mechanics: lifecycle hooks register install activate, supported async APIs like fetch and Cache API plus IndexedDB, Background Sync, Push and channel messaging, and the requirement of HTTPS and no DOM access. Demonstrates two caching strategies—network-first and cache-then-network—with what happens on offline hits, how cache names force replacements, and how updates and termination actually behave. Recommends testing in Chrome; notes Safari finally adds support in 2018.
