Service Workers: Transforming your App into a Progressive Web Application
summary
Shows how a web app becomes a real PWA by converting a Vue app with the Vue CLI PWA plugin, adding manifest.json and a service worker, and using Lighthouse to prove before/after behavior. Demonstrates both generated SW and custom SW via injectManifest with workbox precache, implements postMessage+skipWaiting to prompt updates, verifies offline responses and add‑to‑homescreen install, deploys to Firebase for testing, and explains push notifications (permission + subscription + wake service worker). Examples include Flipkart, Twitter Lite and Wikipedia.
