Introduction
The Service Worker Cookbook is a collection of working, practical examples of using service workers in modern web sites.
Tip: Open your Developer Tools console to view fetch events and informative messages about what each recipe's service worker is doing!

Recipes
Network or cache
The service worker in this recipe tries to retrieve the most up to date content from the network but if the network is taking too much, it will serve cached content instead.
Cache only
The recipe provides a service worker always answering from cache on fetch events.
Cache and update
The recipe provides a service worker responding from cache to deliver fast responses and also updating the cache entry from the network.
Cache, update and refresh
The recipe provides a service worker responding from cache to deliver fast responses and also updating the cache entry from the network. When the network response is ready, the UI updates automatically.
Embedded fallback
The recipe provides a service worker serving an embedded content fallback in case of missing resources.
Push and Retrieve Payload
Send push notifications and retrieve a payload once a notification is received.
Push Payload
Send push notifications with a payload. This recipe shows how to send and receive a string, but data can be extracted from a Push message in a variety of formats (string, ArrayBuffer, Blob, JSON).
Push Rich
Show rich push notifications, defining the language of the notification, a vibration pattern, an image to associate to the notification. See https://notifications.spec.whatwg.org/#api for the other parameters you can set (e.g. a set of actions that can be activated from the notification).
Push Simple
Simplest example of Web Push API usage. Send notifications to users even when your page is not open.
Push Tag
Use the notification tag to replace old notifications with new ones. Allows you to show only up-to-date information to your users or collapse multiple notifications into a single one.
Push Quota
Experiment with the quota management policies of different browsers. Try sending many notifications (visible or invisible) and see what happens if you keep the tab open vs close it, or if you click on some notifications vs you click on none of them.
Push Clients
Control the clients of a service worker when the user clicks on a notification generated from a push event. Allows you to focus the tab of your app or even re-open it if it was closed.
Push Subscription
This recipe shows how to use push notifications with subscription management.
Immediate Claim
This recipe shows how to have the service worker immediately take control of the page without waiting for a navigation event.
Message Relay
This recipe shows how to communicate between the service worker and a page and shows how to use a service worker to relay messages between pages.
Fetching Remote Resources
This recipe shows 2 standard ways of loading a remote resource and one way to use service worker as a proxy middleware.
Live Flowchart
Offline Fallback
This recipe shows how to serve content from the cache when the user is offline.
Offline Status
This basic recipe illustrates caching critical resources for offline use and then notifying the user that they may go offline and enjoy the same experience.
JSON Cache
This recipe illustrates fetching a JSON file during service worker installation and adding all resources to cache. This recipe also immediately claims the service worker for faster activation.
Local Download
Allow a user to "download" a file that's been generated on the client side.
Virtual Server
This recipe shows a service worker acting like a remote server.
API Analytics
Perform API usage logging without interfering with the UI layer by adding a service worker to gather the usage and use the sync API to upload gathered data from time to time.
Load balancer
This recipe shows a Service Worker containing network logic to dynamically select the best content provider accordingly to server availability.
Cache from ZIP
This recipe illustrates how to cache contents from a zipfile.
Dependency Injection
This recipe shows how a Service Worker can act as a dependency injector, avoiding hard wiring dependencies for high level components.
Request Deferrer
This recipe shows how to enqueue requests while in offline in an outbox-like buffer to perform the operations once the connection is regained.
Cache then Network
This recipe illustrates methods to return network requests from either the cache or network.
Render Store
The recipe demonstrates one recommendation from the NGA. A cache containing the interpolated templates in order to avoid model fetching and render times upon successive requests.
