Question 1

Can I use PWA Starter with React or Vue?

Accepted Answer

PWA Starter is opinionated and likely uses vanilla JavaScript by default, so integrating frameworks like React or Vue may require manual setup, which could offset the zero-config benefits. Check the documentation for guidance on extensions.

Question 2

How does PWA Starter compare to create-react-app for building PWAs?

Accepted Answer

PWA Starter is specifically designed for PWAs with built-in service workers and high Lighthouse scores, while create-react-app requires additional configuration for PWA features. However, create-react-app offers more flexibility for React-based projects.

Question 3

How to add custom caching strategies to the service worker in PWA Starter?

Accepted Answer

Since it uses Workbox, you can modify the Workbox configuration files included in the starter to implement custom caching rules, but this requires familiarity with Workbox's API and may involve tweaking the default setup.

Question 4

Is PWA Starter good for e-commerce apps?

Accepted Answer

Yes, its production-ready nature and high performance scores make it suitable, but you'll need to add e-commerce functionality separately, as it focuses on PWA foundations rather than business logic.

Question 5

Can I deploy PWA Starter to hosting services other than Azure?

Accepted Answer

While optimized for Azure Static Web Apps, the generated static files can be deployed to any static hosting service, though features like local emulation with the Azure CLI might not work elsewhere without adjustments.

Question 6

What front-end technologies does PWA Starter use?

Accepted Answer

The README doesn't specify the exact stack, but it's based on standard web technologies (HTML, CSS, JS) with Workbox for service workers, aiming for a minimal, framework-agnostic approach to keep it lightweight.
