I have some problem with my Angular service worker. I get generated PDF-Files from a Webservice. After I get them, I need to cache them, so that I can use them offline.
My first approach of thinking about this was to tell the manifest to cache the folder, where I put these files. But I can't find any way to do this. There must be an attribute like icons, where I can put a folder.
If I put a PDF-File into my assets-folder, the PDF-File won't be cached, just all other files in the folder.
The Files are to big for IndexedDb, localstorage, ..
I just need a way to save the PDFs for printing them later in the program. I'm open to any solution.
Service Workers cannot cache Response for POST requests. If your web service could return PDFs for GET requests, the Cache API should be available to your Service Worker for storing/caching the PDF Response. The web service may need to send header Content-Disposition: inline, so experiment a little with that.
