I work with AngularJS and use service worker to receive push notifications.
But navigator.serviceWorker.controller
is null
until page refresh, and I don't know how to solve this problem.
Some code of serviceworker:
self.addEventListener('push', pwServiceWorker.pushReceived);
self.addEventListener('notificationclick', pwServiceWorker.notificationClicked);
// refresh caches
self.addEventListener('activate', function(event) {
event.waitUntil(
caches.keys().then(function(cacheNames) {
return Promise.all(
cacheNames.map(function(cacheName) {
return caches.delete(cacheName);
})
);
})
);
});
And send message to the client in serviceworker when push received:
self.clients.matchAll().then(function(all) {
console.log(all);
all.forEach(function(client) {
client.postMessage(data);
});
});
In mainController.js give message like this:
if (!navigator.serviceWorker || !navigator.serviceWorker.register) {
console.log("This browser doesn't support service workers");
return;
}
// Listen to messages from service workers.
navigator.serviceWorker.addEventListener('message', function(event) {
console.log("Got reply from service worker: " + event.data);
});
// Are we being controlled?
if (navigator.serviceWorker.controller) {
// Yes, send our controller a message.
console.log("Sending 'hi' to controller");
navigator.serviceWorker.controller.postMessage("hi");
} else {
// No, register a service worker to control pages like us.
// Note that it won't control this instance of this page, it only takes effect
// for pages in its scope loaded *after* it's installed.
navigator.serviceWorker.register("service-worker.js")
.then(function(registration) {
console.log("Service worker registered, scope: " + registration.scope);
console.log("Refresh the page to talk to it.");
// If we want to, we might do `location.reload();` so that we'd be controlled by it
})
.catch(function(error) {
console.log("Service worker registration failed: " + error.message);
});
}
This is expected behavior. To take control over all open pages without waiting for refresh/reopen, you have to add these commands to your Service Worker:
self.addEventListener('install', function(event) {
event.waitUntil(self.skipWaiting()); // Activate worker immediately
});
self.addEventListener('activate', function(event) {
event.waitUntil(self.clients.claim()); // Become available to all pages
});
You can read more about them in skipWaiting() docs and clients.claim() docs.
