offline-plugin

offline-plugin for webpack

This plugin is intended to provide an offline experience for webpack projects. It uses ServiceWorker, and AppCache as a fallback under the hood. Simply include this plugin in your webpack.config, and the accompanying runtime in your client script, and your project will become offline ready by caching all (or some) of the webpack output assets.

Install

npm install offline-plugin [--save-dev]

Setup

First, instantiate the plugin in your webpack.config:

// webpack.config.js example
 
var OfflinePlugin = require('offline-plugin');
 
module.exports = {
  // ...
 
  plugins: [
    // ... other plugins
    // it's always better if OfflinePlugin is the last plugin added
    new OfflinePlugin()
  ]
  // ...
}

(and optionally configure with options)

Then, add the runtime into your entry file (typically main entry):

require('offline-plugin/runtime').install();

ES6/Babel/TypeScript

import * as OfflinePluginRuntime from 'offline-plugin/runtime';
OfflinePluginRuntime.install();
