Last month I wrote a blog about a Progressive Web Application in Vue.js and subsequently I investigated how one could do this all in Angular (version 5.0.1). I am new to Angular and have just started to learn it. I like Vue very much but for an existing work project already using Angular I hope to learn the framework. This doesn't mean I am going to throw Vue out the window, on the contrary I just signed up for the online Vue Master Class just starting out on vueschool.io. I think learning Angular on top of it will only improve my skills in Javascript and and increase my understanding of modern web frameworks.
Angular PWA Example
After reading the quick start documentation on the Angular website in order to get familiar with Angular I went about searching the web for information on how to build PWA application with Angular. I found the following article really useful and built the sample Angular project based on the information I found here:
A new Angular Service Worker — creating automatic progressive web apps.
The example application they have is called PWAtter and you can find it on GitHub. The example I created and have on GitHub is a very basic Angular application with SW configuration and support based on the articles mentioned in the links above.
A short note on running the application, to run it in dev you can run the "npm run start" command line. Running in Dev doesn't enable Service Worker support. To run it with the Service Worker support you need to run in production mode and with a http server, the command for the project is "npm run serve-prod-ngsw".
