How would I go about precaching all the pages of my nextjs
app using next-pwa
?. Let's say I have the following pages:
- /
- /about
- /posts
I want all of them to be precached so that they are all available offline once the app has been loaded the first time. At the moment I'm using a custom webpack config to copy the .next/build-manifest.json
file over to public/build-manifest
. Then once the app loads the first time, I register an activated
handler that fetches the build-manifest.json
file and then adds them to the cache. It works but it seems like a roundabout way of achieving it, and it depends somewhat on implementation details. How would I accomplish the same in a more canonical fashion?
At the moment, my next.config.js
file looks like this
const pwa = require('next-pwa')
const withPlugins = require('next-compose-plugins')
const WebpackShellPlugin = require('webpack-shell-plugin-next')
module.exports = withPlugins([
[
{
webpack: (config, { isServer }) => {
if (isServer) {
config.plugins.push(
new WebpackShellPlugin({
onBuildExit: {
scripts: [
'echo "Transfering files ... "',
'cp -r .next/build-manifest.json public/build-manifest.json',
'echo "DONE ... "',
],
blocking: false,
parallel: true,
},
})
)
}
return config
},
},
],
[
pwa,
{
pwa: {
dest: 'public',
register: false,
skipWaiting: true,
},
},
],
])
And my service worker hook looks like this
import { useEffect } from 'react'
import { Workbox } from 'workbox-window'
export function useServiceWorker() {
useEffect(() => {
if (
typeof window !== 'undefined' &&
'serviceWorker' in navigator &&
(window as any).workbox !== undefined
) {
const wb: Workbox = (window as any).workbox
wb.addEventListener('activated', async (event) => {
console.log(`Event ${event.type} is triggered.`)
console.log(event)
const manifestResponse = await fetch('/build-manifest.json')
const manifest = await manifestResponse.json()
const urlsToCache = [
location.origin,
...manifest.pages['/[[...params]]'].map(
(path: string) => `${location.origin}/_next/${path}`
),
`${location.origin}/about`,
...manifest.pages['/about'].map((path: string) => `${location.origin}/_next/${path}`),
`${location.origin}/posts`,
...manifest.pages['/posts'].map((path: string) => `${location.origin}/_next/${path}`),
]
// Send that list of URLs to your router in the service worker.
wb.messageSW({
type: 'CACHE_URLS',
payload: { urlsToCache },
})
})
wb.register()
}
}, [])
}
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
