I build an html/js application (a progressive web app) with Polymer and polymer-cli and the well generated service-worker for caching and offline.
I wonder how to notify the user when a new version of the application is available and invite him to restart browser.
any ideas ?
Edit
a talk at IO2016 where Eric Bidel talk about service worker and notify user about new version of an application :

Need to check the google IO Web source code

// page script
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function(){
if ('serviceWorker' in navigator) {
navigator.serviceWorker
.register('/sw.js')
.then(function(registration) {
console.info('ServiceWorker registration successful with scope:', registration.scope);
// if there's no controller, this page wasn't loaded
// via a service worker, so they're looking at the latest version.
// In that case, exit early
if (!navigator.serviceWorker.controller) return;
// if there's an updated worker already waiting, update
if (registration.waiting) {
console.info('show toast and upon click update...');
registration.waiting.postMessage({ updateSw: true });
return;
}
// if there's an updated worker installing, track its
// progress. If it becomes "installed", update
if (registration.installing) {
registration.addEventListener('statechange', function(){
if (registration.installing.state == 'installed'){
console.info('show toast and upon click update...');
registration.installing.postMessage({ updateSw: true });
return;
}
});
}
// otherwise, listen for new installing workers arriving.
// If one arrives, track its progress.
// If it becomes "installed", update
registration.addEventListener('updatefound', function(){
let newServiceWorker = registration.installing;
newServiceWorker.addEventListener('statechange', function() {
if (newServiceWorker.state == 'installed') {
console.info('show toast and upon click update...');
newServiceWorker.postMessage({ updateSw: true });
}
});
});
})
.catch(function(error) {
console.info('ServiceWorker registration failed:', error);
});
navigator.serviceWorker.addEventListener('controllerchange', function() {
window.location.reload();
});
}
});
// sw script
self.addEventListener('message', function(e) {
if (e.data.updateSw){
self.skipWaiting();
}
});
Thanks to IO team .. we need to check if the current service-worker becomes redundant
// Check to see if the service worker controlling the page at initial load
// has become redundant, since this implies there's a new service worker with fresh content.
if (navigator.serviceWorker && navigator.serviceWorker.controller) {
navigator.serviceWorker.controller.onstatechange = function(event) {
if (event.target.state === 'redundant') {
// Define a handler that will be used for the next io-toast tap, at which point it
// be automatically removed.
const tapHandler = function() {
window.location.reload();
};
if (IOWA.Elements && IOWA.Elements.Toast &&
IOWA.Elements.Toast.showMessage) {
IOWA.Elements.Toast.showMessage(
'A new version of this app is available.', tapHandler, 'Refresh',
null, 0); // duration 0 indications shows the toast indefinitely.
} else {
tapHandler(); // Force reload if user never was shown the toast.
}
}
};

i want to get more accessible my webabb deployed on Google Apps Script.
I tried to do this adding an embedded manifest:
<link rel="manifest" href='data:application/manifest+json,
{
"name":"SharePoint Title",
"short_name":"SP Title",
"description":"description",
"start_url":"get_script_url",
"icons":[
{
"src":"icon_url",
"sizes":"144x144","type":"image/png"
}
],
"background":"rgb(255,0,0)",
"theme_color":"rgb(255,255,255)",
"display":"fullscreen"
}'>
and this js code (as shown in https://developer.mozilla.org/:
let deferredPrompt;
const addBtn = document.querySelector('.add-button');
addBtn.style.display = 'none';
window.addEventListener('beforeinstallprompt', (e) => {
// Prevent Chrome 67 and earlier from automatically showing the prompt
e.preventDefault();
// Stash the event so it can be triggered later.
deferredPrompt = e;
// Update UI to notify the user they can add to home screen
addBtn.style.display = 'block';
addBtn.addEventListener('click', (e) => {
// hide our user interface that shows our A2HS button
addBtn.style.display = 'none';
// Show the prompt
deferredPrompt.prompt();
// Wait for the user to respond to the prompt
deferredPrompt.userChoice.then((choiceResult) => {
if (choiceResult.outcome === 'accepted') {
console.log('User accepted the A2HS prompt');
} else {
console.log('User dismissed the A2HS prompt');
}
deferredPrompt = null;
});
});
});
But when I can't load the page from any mobile device: Google returns an error.
Does somebody know how could I solve the problem?
Thanks a lot
i am trying to clean my cache in a web application, so, i erase my css and put this function in my all.js archive, below document.ready:
// Check if a new cache is available on page load.
window.addEventListener('load', function(e) {
console.log("entered the function");
window.applicationCache.addEventListener('updateready', function(e) {
console.log("entered the function 2");
if (window.applicationCache.status == window.applicationCache.UPDATEREADY) {
// Browser downloaded a new app cache.
// Swap it in and reload the page to get the new hotness.
window.applicationCache.swapCache();
if (confirm('A new version of this site is available. Load it?')) {
window.location.reload();
}
} else {
// Manifest didn't changed. Nothing new to server.
}
}, false);
}, false);
the problem is, it don't cleans my cache, after erase my css it still shows the old one, and the console.log("entered the function 2") is not printing as well.
can anybody helps, please?
thank you a lot!
I solve my problem doing:
// Check if a new cache is available on page load.
window.addEventListener('beforeload', function(e) {
if (window.applicationCache.status == window.applicationCache.UPDATEREADY) {
// Browser downloaded a new app cache.
// Swap it in and reload the page to get the new hotness.
window.applicationCache.swapCache();
window.location.reload();
}
}, false);
don't think is the right way, but works
I'm trying to catch push notifications that get sent to my chrome browser with a chrome extension to then write it to a file or run code on receiving it.
I'm sure the issue I'm having is simple enough for some of you so I will share what I've found so far and my code.
notifhook.js
(function() {
// save the original function
var origCreateNotif = notifications.createNotification;
// overwrite createNotification with a new function
notifications.createNotification = function(img, title, body) {
// call the original notification function
var result = origCreateNotif.apply(this, arguments);
alert("Function was called");
// bind a listener for when the notification is displayed
result.addEventListener("display", function() {
alert("Triggered code");
// do something when the notification is displayed
});
return result;
}
})()
manifest.json
{
"name": "Push",
"description": "Relay push notifications",
"version": "3.0",
"permissions": ["notifications"],
"web_accessible_resources": ["notifhook.js"],
"content_scripts" : [{
"run_at" : "document_start",
"matches" : ["<all_urls>"],
"js" : ["inject.js"]
}],
"manifest_version": 2
}
inject.js
var s = document.createElement("script");
s.src = chrome.extension.getURL("notifhook.js");
document.documentElement.appendChild(s);
Most of the code used was taken here :
How can I listen to notifications?
I am using this webapp to test my extension :
http://ttsvetko.github.io/HTML5-Desktop-Notifications/
So, to my knowledge what is happening so far is that the block containing my main function is being added to the webpage just fine
since I can alert at the start of it and on every page load it will be triggered.
What is failing is when I receive a push notification the event listener isn't working or my function names are wrong. I read somewhere that webkitNotifications was replaced with just 'notifications'.
Any help is much appreciated.
If the code is in service worker, like when there are notifications when you close the browser tab/window for the app (like on facebook) then you need to overwirte registration of service worker.
// taken from https://googlechrome.github.io/samples/service-worker/post-message/index.html
function sendMessage(message) {
return new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {
var messageChannel = new MessageChannel();
messageChannel.port1.onmessage = function(event) {
if (event.data.error) {
reject(event.data.error);
} else {
resolve(event.data);
}
};
navigator.serviceWorker.controller.postMessage(message,
[messageChannel.port2]);
});
}
(function() {
if ('serviceWorker' in navigator) {
var register = navigator.serviceWorker.register;
navigator.serviceWorker.register = function() {
register.call(navigator.serviceWorker, "yourscript.js").then(function() {
sendMessage({args: [].slice.call(arguments)});
});
};
}
})();
and in service worker (yourscript.js) you need to call importScript with original script taken from post message
// put content of notifhook.js file here
self.addEventListener('message', function handler(event) {
if (event.data && event.data.args && event.data.args.length) {
importScripts(event.data.args[0]); // import original script
self.removeEventListener('message', handler);
}
});
I built an offline first app using the appcache a while ago and wanted to convert it to using the service-worker (my clients all use the latest chrome so I don't have any browser compatibility issues).
I'm using sw-precache to generate a service-worker that caches my local assets (specifically, my html/css/fonts and also some js) and it looks like when the service-worker installs, it does successfully add all the assets to cache storage and it does successfully start (install and activate both fire and complete successfully. And I have the self.skipWaiting() at the end of the install event to start the service-worker (which it does successfully as well)).
The issue is that the "fetch" event doesn't seem to ever fire. As such, if I go offline or open a browser (while already offline) and navigate to the site, I get the Chrome offline dinosaur. When I look at the network tab, it looks like the browser is trying to hit a server to retrieve the pages. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong and I didn't touch the fetch method that was generated by the sw-precache utility...so I'm not sure what I'm missing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. My fetch event is below:
self.addEventListener('fetch', function(event) {
if (event.request.method === 'GET') {
var urlWithoutIgnoredParameters = stripIgnoredUrlParameters(event.request.url,
IgnoreUrlParametersMatching);
var cacheName = AbsoluteUrlToCacheName[urlWithoutIgnoredParameters];
var directoryIndex = 'index.html';
if (!cacheName && directoryIndex) {
urlWithoutIgnoredParameters = addDirectoryIndex(urlWithoutIgnoredParameters, directoryIndex);
cacheName = AbsoluteUrlToCacheName[urlWithoutIgnoredParameters];
}
var navigateFallback = '';
// Ideally, this would check for event.request.mode === 'navigate', but that is not widely
// supported yet:
// https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=540967
// https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1209081
if (!cacheName && navigateFallback && event.request.headers.has('accept') &&
event.request.headers.get('accept').includes('text/html') &&
/* eslint-disable quotes, comma-spacing */
isPathWhitelisted([], event.request.url)) {
/* eslint-enable quotes, comma-spacing */
var navigateFallbackUrl = new URL(navigateFallback, self.location);
cacheName = AbsoluteUrlToCacheName[navigateFallbackUrl.toString()];
}
if (cacheName) {
event.respondWith(
// Rely on the fact that each cache we manage should only have one entry, and return that.
caches.open(cacheName).then(function(cache) {
return cache.keys().then(function(keys) {
return cache.match(keys[0]).then(function(response) {
if (response) {
return response;
}
// If for some reason the response was deleted from the cache,
// raise and exception and fall back to the fetch() triggered in the catch().
throw Error('The cache ' + cacheName + ' is empty.');
});
});
}).catch(function(e) {
console.warn('Couldn\'t serve response for "%s" from cache: %O', event.request.url, e);
return fetch(event.request);
})
);
}
}
});
I have a common serviceworker escenario, where I want catch a notification click and focus the tab where the notification has come from. However, clients variable is always empty, its lenght is 0
console.log("sw startup");
self.addEventListener('install', function (event) {
console.log("SW installed");
});
self.addEventListener('activate', function (event) {
console.log("SW activated");
});
self.addEventListener("notificationclick", function (e) {
// Android doesn't automatically close notifications on click
console.log(e);
e.notification.close();
// Focus tab if open
e.waitUntil(clients.matchAll({
type: 'window'
}).then(function (clientList) {
console.log("clients:" + clientList.length);
for (var i = 0; i < clientList.length; ++i) {
var client = clientList[i];
if (client.url === '/' && 'focus' in client) {
return client.focus();
}
}
if (clients.openWindow) {
return clients.openWindow('/');
}
}));
});
And the registration is this one:
this.doNotify = function (notification) {
if ('serviceWorker' in navigator) {
navigator.serviceWorker.register('sw.js').then(function (reg) {
requestCreateNotification(notification, reg);
}, function (err) {
console.log('sw reg error:' + err);
});
}
...
}
chrome://serviceworker-internals/ output shows that registration and installation are fine. However, when a notification is pushed, clientList is empty. I have tried removing the filter type:'window' but the result is still the same. As clients are empty, a new window is always opened. What am I doing wrong?
The suspicion in your own comment is correct. A page is controlled by a service worker on navigation to an origin that the service worker is registered for. So the original page load that actually initializes the service worker is not itself controlled. That's why the worker only finds your tab once you visit with a new tab or do a refresh.
However (as Jeff Posnick points out in the comments) you can get uncontrolled pages as follows: ServiceWorkerClients.matchAll({includeUncontrolled: true, type: 'window'}).
Try making the service worker immediately claim the page.
E.g.:
self.addEventListener('install', event => event.waitUntil(self.skipWaiting()));
self.addEventListener('activate', event => event.waitUntil(self.clients.claim()));
For a more complex example, see https://serviceworke.rs/immediate-claim.html.
