Offline support in a Next.js PWA can be achieved using service workers and cache, providing a custom approach without external packages. Understanding service worker states—download, install, waiting, and activate—can facilitate this process. Additionally, implementing the skipWaiting function allows for immediate updates. Proper deployment requires closing all app tabs and performing a hard refresh for effective activation. This approach reduces complexity and dependencies, thus enhancing the application's stability.
A service worker can be in 4 possible states: download, install, waiting, and activate. SkipWaiting forces activation without waiting for the old service worker.
You can reduce the package surface of your application, improving stability and mitigating cover fire by implementing service workers without using extra packages.
