offline-caching

For performance purposes, I want to have some of my web pages use resources that have been cached for offline use (images, CSS, etc.) but to not have the page itself cached as the content will be generated dynamically. One way to do this would be to refactor my pages so that they load the dynamic content via AJAX or by looking things up in LocalStorage. Details may vary, but broadly speaking, something like that. If it's possible, I'd prefer to find a way to simply instruct the browser to use cached resources (again, images, CSS, etc.) for the page but to not actually cache the (dynamically

To register a service worker, I can call navigator.serviceWorker.register('/worker.js') Every time the page loads it checks for an updated version of worker.js . If an update is found, the new worker won't be used until all the page's tabs are closed and then re-opened. The solution I read was: self.addEventListener('install', function(event) { event.waitUntil(self.skipWaiting()); }); self.addEventListener('activate', function(event) { event.waitUntil(self.clients.claim()); }); I can understand the skipWaiting part, but what exactly does clients.claim() do? I've done some simple tests and it

I have a single page web app written using AngularJS. It uses PouchDB to replicate to a CouchDB server and works fine. The problem comes when I try to convert the webpage to be available offline by adding cache.manifest. Suddenly ALL the replication tasks throw errors and stop working, whether working offline or online. In Chrome it just says "GET ...myCouchIP/myDB/?_nonce=CxVFIwnEJeGFcyoJ net::ERR_FAILED" In Firefox it also throws an error but mentions that the request is blocked - try enabling CORS. CORS is enabled on the remote CouchDB as per the instructions from PouchDB setup page. Plus

I am implementing an AngularJS web app with Firebase as a backend; it should work offline, too; multi-user sync issues should be very limited, since the app - by design - will only allow new data entries when offline. I understand Firebase has offline capabilities, in the sense that a client can withstand temporary network connection failures: any write operation will be delayed and cached until network comes up again. I ask if any possibility does exist (or does any plan to implement it) to extend Firebase offline capabilities to enable clients to locally cache a snapshot of (some of) the

Quick question for discussion really, as I wanted to have input from different people. I am in the process of developing a web page app that must be available offline. Now to do this, as I understand it, you would go about using either the application caching feature or by using service workers. However, here is the conundrum I have. When researching the application cache, the MDN clearly states : Deprecated: This feature has been removed from the Web standards. Though some browsers may still support it, it is in the process of being dropped. Do not use it in old or new projects. Pages or Web

To be clear, the web app IS caching and is working fine offline in Mobile Safari. The problem is when it is added to the home screen on an iPhone 4s and iPad 2, both running iOS 6.0.1. It won't work offline and gives a network error to connect to the internet i.e. "Cannot open MYWEBAPP. MYWEBAPP could not be opened because it is not connected to the internet" I've been debugging this for several hours and can't seem to find a solution. I'm not receiving any errors in the console and I'm running Jonathan Stark's debugging code I've tested the app in desktop Safari, Chrome and Firefox's

So half of my application relies quite a bit on Firestore. Sometimes, it takes quite a long time, like 5000ms or more to load my documents. If it was images or something else maybe I'd understand but it's mainly strings or Ints... Any ideas on how I could improve this? Thanks EDIT: db.collection("usersAuth/${FirebaseAuth.getInstance().uid!!}/KitLists").get().addOnSuccessListener { snapshot -> for (document in snapshot.documents) { val data = document val kitName = data.id firstKitList.add(kitName) } mainListViewAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged() } EDIT2 So, I adapted it, but I have an unresolved

Im really confused when thinking about my requirement to store data locally for offline viewing.Now i have two options,DOM storage and HTML5 Local storage. As im a complete newbiew in this particular topic,i need some help of SO Experts and Gurus. Whats the Advantage and Dis-advantage of these two.?can any one compare these one.,so that i can understand deeply or give some reference links? DOM Storage or Web Storage is the collective name given to the following types of client storage options available in HTML5. It includes: localStorage sessionStorage Local storage is persistent meaning the
