We’ll be using Quasar CLI to develop and build a PWA. The difference between building a SPA, Mobile App, Electron App, PWA or SSR is simply determined by the “mode” parameter in “quasar dev” and “quasar build” commands.

In order to build a PWA, we first need to add the PWA mode to our Quasar project:

$ quasar mode add pwa

If you want to jump right in and start developing, you can skip the “quasar mode” command and issue:

$ quasar dev -m pwa

This will add PWA mode automatically, if it is missing.

A new folder will appear in your project folder (which is explained in detail on the Configuring PWA page):

Both files are going to be detailed in the next pages, but the high overview is:

• The register-service-worker.[js|ts] file is part of the UI code and communicates with the service worker.
• When using InjectManifest, you can write your own custom service worker (custom-service-worker.[js|ts]).
