What are service worker events?

Can you explain what service worker events are?

Service worker events are events that a service worker can listen to, such as 'install', 'activate', and 'fetch'. They allow the service worker to manage caching and network requests.

What happens during the 'install' event?

During the 'install' event, the service worker is set up and can cache resources for offline use. It's a crucial step for enabling offline capabilities.

How does the 'fetch' event work?

The 'fetch' event is triggered whenever a network request is made. The service worker can intercept this request and decide whether to serve a cached response or fetch it from the network.

Can service workers handle push notifications?

Yes, service workers can handle push notifications through the 'push' event, allowing web applications to receive messages even when not open.
