Examples

The below example shows an asynchronous function that retrieves items within the content index and iterates over each entry, building a list for the interface.

async function createReadingList() {
  // access our service worker registration
  const registration = await navigator.serviceWorker.ready;

  // get our index entries
  const entries = await registration.index.getAll();

  // create a containing element
  const readingListElem = document.createElement('div');

  // test for entries
  if (!Array.length) {

    // if there are no entries, display a message
    const message = document.createElement('p');
    message.innerText = 'You currently have no articles saved for offline reading.'

    readingListElem.append(message);

  } else {

    // if entries are present, display in a list of links to the content
    const listElem = document.createElement('ul');

    for (const entry of entries) {
      const listItem = document.createElement('li');

      const anchorElem = document.createElement('a');
      anchorElem.innerText = entry.title;
      anchorElem.setAttribute('href', entry.url);

      listElem.append(listItem);

    }

    readingListElem.append(listElem);
  }

}
