Highlight

This plugin is relying on a 3rd party Software as a Service — FlexPlat: https://flexplat.com to generate Manifest and Service Workers related files. The Terms and Conditions is located at: https://flexplat.com/terms-and-conditions/

In detail, to make PWA working, end users will ask your website to provide Manifest and Service Workers related files:
* hyper-pwa-register.js
* hyper-pwa-service-worker.html
* hyper-pwa-service-worker.js
* hyper-pwa-manifest.json
* hyper-pwa-unregister.js
* hyper-pwa-offline.html
Inside of producing these files within my plugin, my plugin will send necessary parameters to FlexPlat, FlexPlat will build the Service Workers related files based on the received parameters, and return these files to your website. Then my plugin forwards these files to end users.

Open Issue

None.

FAQ

I find following error message in web browser console: hyper-pwa-register.js:1 Failed to load module script: Expected a JavaScript module script but the server responded with a MIME type of “text/html”. Strict MIME type checking is enforced for module scripts per HTML spec.

Your website should have some cache plugin, such as WP Rocket. You should exclude following pages from the cache:
/hyper-pwa-register.js
/hyper-pwa-service-worker.html
/hyper-pwa-service-worker.js
/hyper-pwa-manifest.json
/hyper-pwa-unregister.js
/hyper-pwa-offline.html
such as for WP Rocket, you should do accordingly:
