A parce-bundler plugin to replace the filename URLs in Service Worker with their hashed counterparts
I don't really like the name of this package 😝
npm install parcel-plugin-sw-asset-urls -D
or
yarn add parcel-plugin-sw-asset-urls -D
Although parcel-bundler doesn't play nice in every scenario, one cannot deny the fact that it's an amazing tool for developers. This package will help solve an issue with parcel-bundler when building PWA (Progressive Web Apps)
Most of the PWAs cache their static assets on the install event of a Service Worker. Although parcel generates the assets with hashed filenames in the dist directory & copies over the service worker (sw.js), it doesn't check & replace the original filenames with their hashed counterparts in service worker js file
This parcel-plugin solve the issue by updating the sw.js in dist directory to reflect hashed filename URLs
