The oninstall property of the ServiceWorkerGlobalScope
interface is an event handler fired whenever an install
event occurs (when the service worker installs). This happens before activation.
Syntax
ServiceWorkerGlobalScope.oninstall = function(event) { ... };
Examples
The following snippet shows how an install
event handler can be used to populate a cache with a number of responses, which the service worker can then use to serve assets offline:
this.addEventListener('install', function(event) { event.waitUntil( caches.open('v1').then(function(cache) { return cache.add( '/sw-test/', '/sw-test/index.html', '/sw-test/style.css', '/sw-test/app.js', '/sw-test/image-list.js', '/sw-test/star-wars-logo.jpg', '/sw-test/gallery/', '/sw-test/gallery/bountyHunters.jpg', '/sw-test/gallery/myLittleVader.jpg', '/sw-test/gallery/snowTroopers.jpg' ); }) ); });
