It is not a trivial one liner no, but you need 3 events implemented in your service-worker file, then in your main.js file you register it.

Service workers are just JavaScript that runs in the background in their own process in a browser. Could think of them as separate threads. Anyway, all of that can be done in less than 20 lines of JS?

I consider it simple compared to people building React apps and making the process more complicated than it needs to be just to build a PWA.

I was able to build a PWA out of a bootstrap HTML5 web app, with minimal JS for REST calls and ag-grid population.






You can't run native ads or handle payment via store with pwa

Yeah, it's no big deal, I just find it odd that it's even a requirement. And using React doesn't get you out of making a service worker either.
