sw-precache
A Node.js module to generate a service worker that precaches static resources for offline web apps.
What is sw-precache?
sw-precache is a Node.js module that generates a service worker to precache static resources during the build process. It solves the problem of making web applications work offline by automatically caching files like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, ensuring they load quickly from the cache without network requests.
Web developers building Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) or any web application that needs offline functionality and fast loading times, especially those using build tools like Gulp, Grunt, or Webpack.
Developers choose sw-precache because it seamlessly integrates into existing build workflows, automates the generation of a robust service worker with versioning, and provides a reliable cache-first strategy for static assets, which is essential for creating offline-capable web apps.
