  1. title: Cache workers

  2. lang: en

  3. 

  4. > A service worker is like a cookie. Cookies are downloaded from a web server and installed in a browser. […] A service worker script is much more powerful. It contains a set of instructions that the browser will consult before making any requests to the site that originally installed the service worker.

  5. >

  6. > A service worker is like a virus. When you visit a website, a service worker is surreptitiously installed in the background. Afterwards, whenever you make a request to that website, your request will be intercepted by the service worker first. […]

  7. > 

  8. > A service worker is like a toolbox. By itself, a service worker can’t do much. But it allows you to access some very powerful browser features, like the Fetch API, the Cache API, and even notifications. […]

  12. I have been playing with [Service Workers](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Service_Worker_API/Using_Service_Workers) for a [long time](/david/stream/2015/02/13/) with a [couple of unresolved issues](/david/stream/2015/11/24/) still refraining me from pushing it to production. With a current support of [almost 75%](https://caniuse.com/#feat=serviceworkers) and a potential professional usage, it is time to try something real on my lab for these last 14 years and counting: this place.

  13. 

  14. It only applied to recent pages and put *(cache)* links into… cache. It means that if you loaded an article and go offline, you will still be able to read cached versions of external links. I also put previous/next links so you have close articles to read too. It looks to be a good trade-off to me given the few extra kilobytes fetched that way. I limited the cache to 25 elements for now, let me know if it hurts your bandwidth.

  15. 

  16. It started as a 30 minutes experiment and ended up 8 hours later with a rather unstable implementation. Not bad. My main gripe was to actually be able to clear the cache at each and every levels when testing. Such a nightmare, browsers need a new refresh *really* everything keyboard shortcut to ease our attempts to [break the refresh button](https://twitter.com/markdalgleish/status/921515267804487680). Please.

  18. The hardest technical part was to be able to communicate between the current page and the service worker to select dynamically which links I want to put in cache. And back to current page, to display some valuable feedback to you when links are in cache. I hope it makes sense given the time I spent on it :-D.

  20. There are surely a few gotchas here and there, please report any inconsistent situation by email…
