@vite-pwa/workbox-swkit ​

The modern toolkit for modern web apps. @vite-pwa/workbox-swkit provides a consolidated, ESM-powered collection of JavaScript libraries to construct powerful, offline-first Progressive Web Apps right inside your service worker context.

Install ​

bash
pnpm add -D @vite-pwa/workbox-swkit
bash
yarn add -D @vite-pwa/workbox-swkit
bash
npm i -D @vite-pwa/workbox-swkit

New Features ​

@vite-pwa/workbox-swkit introduces a major architectural shift alongside new capabilities:

  • Consolidated Architecture: Everything that was previously scattered across multiple independent packages is now unified into this single package using subpackage exports.
  • Barrel Export: It exports a main barrel file containing all APIs. Important: This is designed to be exclusively processed by @vite-pwa/workbox-build or @vite-pwa/workbox-cli. Their internal engines (Vite/Rolldown) handle the aggressive tree-shaking for your service worker. Consuming this barrel directly with your own application bundler is not supported.
  • Dual Build Orchestration: when dual service workers are enabled (classic and ESM), the @vite-pwa/workbox-build engine compiles both builds independently and in parallel.
  • @vite-pwa/workbox-swkit/precaching: Adds a new parallel option to allow precaching in parallel, instead of sequentially.
