Dioxus PWA example

This is a basic example of a progressive web app (PWA) using Dioxus and Dioxus CLI. Currently PWA functionality requires the use of a service worker and manifest file, so this isn't 100% Rust yet.

It is also very much usable as a template for your projects, if you're aiming to create a PWA.

Try the example

Make sure you have Dioxus CLI installed (if you're unsure, run cargo install dioxus-cli --locked).

You can run dx serve in this directory to start the web server locally, or run dx build --release to build the project so you can deploy it on a separate web-server.

Resources

If you're just getting started with PWAs, here are some useful resources:

• PWABuilder docs
• MDN article on PWAs

For service worker scripting (in JavaScript):

• Service worker guide from PWABuilder
• Service worker examples, also from PWABuilder

If you want to stay as close to 100% Rust as possible, you can try using wasi-worker to replace the JS service worker file. The JSON manifest will still be required though.
