📘 Day 34 — Progressive Web App (PWA) Basics in React

📘 Day 34 — Progressive Web App (PWA) Basics in React

Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) are modern web applications that offer a native app-like experience. They can work offline, send push notifications, and be installed on a user’s device — all while being built using standard web technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

🔹 Key Features of PWAs

  • Offline functionality via Service Workers
  • Ability to install the app on a home screen
  • Faster load times with caching
  • Responsive and secure (HTTPS required)

💡 Setting up a PWA in React

# Create a React app with PWA template
npx create-react-app my-pwa-app --template cra-template-pwa

This command automatically sets up a React app configured for Progressive Web App support.

🔸 Registering the Service Worker

// src/index.js
import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom/client';
import App from './App';
import * as serviceWorkerRegistration from './serviceWorkerRegistration';

const root = ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById('root'));
root.render(<App />);

// Enable offline caching
serviceWorkerRegistration.register();

Once registered, your app can cache assets and content, allowing offline access to previously visited pages.

🔹 Add a Web App Manifest

{
  "short_name": "PWAApp",
  "name": "My Progressive Web App",
  "icons": [
    { "src": "icon-192x192.png", "sizes": "192x192", "type": "image/png" },
    { "src": "icon-512x512.png", "sizes": "512x512", "type": "image/png" }
  ],
  "start_url": ".",
  "display": "standalone",
  "theme_color": "#1565c0",
  "background_color": "#ffffff"
}

The manifest file defines how your app appears when installed — including its icon, name, and theme color.

PWAs bridge the gap between web and mobile apps — offering reliability, performance, and engagement without requiring an app store.
