I created my app with npx create-nuxt-app
, then added npm install @nuxtjs/pwa --save
. I'm including a google font in index.html with:
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:300,400,500,700|Material+Icons" rel="stylesheet" data-n-head="true">
I tested my app in offline mode in Chrome by clicking the "Offline" checkbox in the devtools/application tab, and reloading. Everything is cached except for the font.
I then added:
workbox: {
runtimeCaching: [
{
urlPattern: 'https://fonts.googleapis.com/.*',
handler: 'cacheFirst',
method: 'GET'
},
]
}
to the nuxt.config.js
file but I can't get the font to be cached. I've tried a number of variations on the urlPattern.
Nuxt is generating a service worker for me, and it looks like this:
importScripts('/_nuxt/workbox.3de3418b.js')
const workboxSW = new self.WorkboxSW({
"cacheId": "my-app",
"clientsClaim": true,
"directoryIndex": "/"
})
workboxSW.precache([
{
"url": "/_nuxt/app.bb74329360a7ee70c2af.js",
"revision": "8477c51cbf9d3188f34f1d61ec1ae6bc"
},
{
"url": "/_nuxt/layouts/default.ce9446c7c3fffa50cfd2.js",
"revision": "504d33b2d46614e60d919e01ec59bbc8"
},
{
"url": "/_nuxt/manifest.912c22076a54259e047d.js",
"revision": "a51a74b56987961c8d34afdcf4efa85c"
},
{
"url": "/_nuxt/pages/index.6bfd6741c6dfd79fd94d.js",
"revision": "1a80379a5d35d5d4084d4c2b85e1ee10"
},
{
"url": "/_nuxt/vendor.f681eb653617896fcd64.js",
"revision": "59c58901fd5142fdaac57cbee8c1aeb4"
}
])
workboxSW.router.registerRoute(new RegExp('/_nuxt/.*'), workboxSW.strategies.cacheFirst({}), 'GET')
workboxSW.router.registerRoute(new RegExp('/.*'), workboxSW.strategies.networkFirst({}), 'GET')
workboxSW.router.registerRoute(new RegExp('https://fonts.googleapis.com/.*'), workboxSW.strategies.cacheFirst({}), 'GET')
Why is the font not getting cached?
EDIT #1:
Thanks to Jeff Posnick, I understand what's happening. I haven't figured out the right syntax to pass in the nuxt.config.js
file, but as an experiment, I hacked the sw.js
file directly and added these two lines:
workboxSW.router.registerRoute(new RegExp('https://fonts.googleapis.com/.*'),
workboxSW.strategies.cacheFirst({cacheableResponse: {statuses: [0, 200]}}),
'GET')
workboxSW.router.registerRoute(new RegExp('https://fonts.gstatic.com/.*'),
workboxSW.strategies.cacheFirst({cacheableResponse: {statuses: [0, 200]}}),
'GET')
That worked!
For version 2 of workbox and version 2 of @nuxt/pwa, this is the syntax that is needed in the nuxt.config.js
file:
workbox: {
runtimeCaching: [
{
urlPattern: 'https://fonts.googleapis.com/.*',
handler: 'cacheFirst',
method: 'GET',
strategyOptions: {cacheableResponse: {statuses: [0, 200]}}
},
{
urlPattern: 'https://fonts.gstatic.com/.*',
handler: 'cacheFirst',
method: 'GET',
strategyOptions: {cacheableResponse: {statuses: [0, 200]}}
},
]
}
