vue pwa

A web application that lets you browse even when you have bad network connectivity is what PWA represents. It is also an application that lets the users engaged even while it is offline. PWA also makes up to date data accessible. Leading companies like Twitter, AliExpress, Forbes etc are some of the users of PWA. There are many other companies that prefer because of these and have many other great features. Progressive apps can redefine the future of web applications.

Progressive Web App Vue Js

A Progressive Web Application (PWA) is a web application that particularly offers an application-like user experience but on the web. Now this seemed impossible until recently but modern technologies like service workers and native APIs have made PWAs help to improve.  Vue JS and progressive web apps work well together and many developers adopt Vue js PWA projects. aTeam Soft Solutions has great experience in both the application and the tool and can work well with these kinds of projects. aTeam Soft Solutions envisages bringing both of these together to create a high performing web application.

A service worker runs independently on the browser because it is a background worker. It does not exhaust the main thread when it is executed. This feature is what lets an application run seamlessly even when it is offline. Even though this seems easy if not done by the right set of developers, things can go bad. aTeam Soft Solutions has a community-driven tool for helping with setting up. Following are the steps to be followed for building a progressive web app with the help of Vue.js.

The first and foremost step is to install Vue-CLI if it is not installed in the system already. After this, the next step is to initialise the application.

At this point, there will be certain questions that have to be answered. Which is the type of Vue build to be used? Whether a Vue router is installed, whether an ESLint should be used and the like. It will also have to be decided whether unit tests need to be set up. Certain default answers will also be provided.

After this, there will be a process to create a project folder that has the following subdivisions, build, src, configuration, static and test. The distinguishing difference seen in this template is in the build/webpack.prod.conf.js file.

When the build command is running, the plugin will start generating or running a service worker file in the background. This service worker caches the files matching the glob expression, “staticFileGlobs”.

The next step is to import db.json that has just been created and consume it in src/App.vue. This will then display the desired result in the browser. This has to be imported to Vue object and added to the template of the app.

An app template can also be added to make the page look more presentable and attractive. The next step is to set perspective and backface-visibility to the element fixes.

Changes can also be made to change screen sizes and make grids more responsive. Thus, combining Vue JS and PWA is easy and yields the best results.
