|
+
## Quick Start
|
|
27
|
+
|
|
28
|
+
### 1. Register Service Worker in `index.html`
|
|
29
|
+
|
|
30
|
+
Add to the `<head>` section:
|
|
31
|
+
|
|
32
|
+
```html
|
|
33
|
+
<!-- PWA Support -->
|
|
34
|
+
<link rel="manifest" href="/app/manifest.json">
|
|
35
|
+
<meta name="theme-color" content="#0284C7">
|
|
36
|
+
<meta name="mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes">
|
|
37
|
+
<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes">
|
|
38
|
+
<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-status-bar-style" content="black-translucent">
|
|
39
|
+
```
|
|
40
|
+
|
|
41
|
+
Before closing `</body>`:
|
|
42
|
+
|
|
43
|
+
```html
|
|
44
|
+
<script>
|
|
45
|
+
// Register service worker
|
|
46
|
+
if ('serviceWorker' in navigator) {
|
|
47
|
+
navigator.serviceWorker.register('/app/sw.js', { scope: '/app/' })
|
|
48
|
+
.then(reg => console.log('[PWA] Service Worker registered'))
|
|
49
|
+
.catch(err => console.error('[PWA] SW registration failed:', err));
|
|
50
|
+
}
|
|
51
|
+
</script>
|
|
52
|
+
|
|
53
|
+
<!-- Load offline manager -->
|
|
54
|
+
<script src="/app/js/offline-manager.js"></script>
|
|
55
|
+
```
|
|
56
|
+
|
|
57
|
+
### 2. Create Icons Directory
|
|
58
|
+
|
|
59
|
+
```bash
|
|
60
|
+
mkdir -p /app/icons
|
|
61
|
+
node /app/icons/generate-icons.js
|
|
62
|
+
```
|
|
63
|
+
|
|
64
|
+
This creates placeholder icons. For production, use the script with the `sharp` npm package:
|
|
65
|
+
|
|
66
|
+
```bash
|
|
67
|
+
npm install sharp
|
|
68
|
+
node /app/icons/generate-icons.js
|
|
69
|
+
```
|
|
70
|
+
|
|
71
|
+
### 3. Test the PWA
|
|
72
|
+
|
|
73
|
+
Open Chrome DevTools (F12):
|
|
74
|
+
- **Application tab** → Service Workers → Check "offline"
|
|
75
|
+
- Reload page → should load from cache
|
|
76
|
+
- Check **Manifest** tab → should show app details
|
|
77
|
+
- Try **installing**: Chrome menu → Install App
|
|
78
|
+

|
|
193
|
+
|
|
194
|
+
### 2. Intelligent Caching
|
|
195
|
+
|
|
196
|
+
**Service Worker manages 4 cache stores:**
|
|
197
|
+
|
|
198
|
+
| Cache | Purpose | Size Limit | Strategy |
|
|
199
|
+
|-------|---------|-----------|----------|
|
|
200
|
+
| `cyclecad-static-v3` | HTML, JS, CSS | 5-10 MB | Cache-first |
|
|
201
|
+
| `cyclecad-models-v3` | GLB, STEP, STL | 500 MB | Cache-first + LRU |
|
|
202
|
+
| `cyclecad-api-v3` | API responses | 1-5 MB | Network-first |
|
|
203
|
+
| `cyclecad-dynamic-v3` | Other assets | 10-20 MB | Network-first |
|
|
204
|
+
|
|
205
|
+
**Automatic cache management:**
|
|
206
|
+
- Old cache versions cleaned on activate
|
|
207
|
+
- LRU eviction when model cache exceeds 500MB
|
|
208
|
+
- Background updates for static assets
|
|
209
|
+
- User can manually clear cache
|
|
210
|
+
|
|
211
|
+
### 3. Background Sync
|
|
212
|
+
|
|
213
|
+
When offline, operations are queued in IndexedDB:
|
|
214
|
+
|
|
215
|
+
```javascript
|
|
216
|
+
// Automatically happens when offline
|
|
217
|
+
await offlineManager.queueOperation({
|
|
218
|
+
type: 'extrude',
|
|
219
|
+
sketchId: '123',
|
|
220
|
+
depth: 25
|
|
221
|
+
});
|
|
222
|
+
// Shows: "Operation queued - will sync online"
|
|
223
|
+
```
|
|
224
|
+
|
|
225
|
+
When back online:
|
|
226
|
+
1. Browser detects connection
|
|
227
|
+
2. Service Worker retrieves queue
|
|
228
|
+
3. Operations upload one-by-one
|
|
229
|
+
4. Failed ops retry automatically
|
|
230
|
+
5. Progress shown: "Syncing 3/5..."
|
|
231
|
+
6. Notification when complete
|
|
232
|
+
|
|
233
|
+
### 4. Manifest & Installation
|
|
234
|
+
|
|
235
|
+
`manifest.json` enables:
|
|
236
|
+
|
|
237
|
+
✓ **Install prompt** — "Add to Home Screen"
|
|
238
|
+
✓ **Standalone mode** — No address bar
|
|
239
|
+
✓ **File handling** — Open `.step`, `.stl`, `.obj` files directly
|
|
240
|
+
✓ **Share target** — Share files to cycleCAD from OS
|
|
241
|
+
✓ **Shortcuts** — Quick actions (New, Open, Import)
|
|
242
|
+
✓ **Theming** — Blue header color, dark theme
|
|
243
|
+
|
|
244
|
+
### 5. Update Management
|
|
245
|
+
|
|
246
|
+
Automatic update detection and installation:
|
|
247
|
+
|
|
248
|
+
1. SW checks for updates hourly
|
|
249
|
+
2. New version available → blue notification
|
|
250
|
+
3. User can "Update Now" or dismiss
|
|
251
|
+
4. Auto-apply on next session if pending
|
|
252
|
+

## Performance Metrics
|
|
488
|
+
|
|
489
|
+
### Cache Efficiency
|
|
490
|
+
|
|
491
|
+
- **First load:** ~2-3 seconds (network)
|
|
492
|
+
- **Subsequent loads:** <500ms (cache)
|
|
493
|
+
- **Offline loads:** <200ms (fully cached)
|
|
494
|
+
- **Cache size:** 245 MB (typical, max 500 MB)
|
|
495
|
+
- **Storage quota:** 50+ GB (Chrome), 50 MB (Safari)
|
|
496
|
+
|
|
497
|
+
### Sync Performance
|
|
498
|
+
|
|
499
|
+
- **Queue operation:** <10ms
|
|
500
|
+
- **Sync single op:** 100-500ms (depends on operation)
|
|
501
|
+
- **Sync 10 ops:** 1-5 seconds
|
|
502
|
+
- **Retry logic:** Exponential backoff (up to 3 retries)
|
|
503
|
+
|
|
504
|
+
### Service Worker Overhead
|
|
505
|
+
|
|
506
|
+
- **Registration:** <100ms
|
|
507
|
+

|
|
508
|
+
- **Activate (cleanup):** <100ms
|
|
509
|
+
- **Fetch overhead:** <5ms per request

## Troubleshooting
|
|
514
|
+
|
|
515
|
+
### Service Worker won't register
|
|
516
|
+
|
|
517
|
+
**Error:** `Failed to register service worker`
|
|
518
|
+
|
|
519
|
+
**Fixes:**
|
|
520
|
+
1. Ensure HTTPS is enabled
|
|
521
|
+
2. Check console (F12) for specific errors
|
|
522
|
+
3. Verify `sw.js` is in `/app/` directory
|
|
523
|
+
4. Hard refresh: `Ctrl+Shift+R`
|
|
524
|
+
5. Clear cache: DevTools → Application → Clear storage
|
|
525
|
+
|
|
526
|
+
### Offline mode not working
|
|
527
|
+
|
|
528
|
+
**Error:** App requires internet despite offline support
|
|
529
|
+
|
|
530
|
+
**Fixes:**
|
|
531
|
+
1. Check that SW is "activated" in DevTools
|
|
532
|
+
2. Ensure precache completed (check caches.keys())
|
|
533
|
+
3. Try going fully offline (F12 → Network → Offline)
|
|
534
|
+
4. Check manifests.json for errors
|
|
535
|
+
5. Verify `offline.html` exists and is cached
|
|
536
|
+
|
|
537
|
+
### Cache stuck / won't clear
|
|
538
|
+
|
|
539
|
+
**Error:** Cache size not decreasing after manual clear
|
|
540
|
+
|
|
541
|
+
**Fixes:**
|
|
542
|
+
1. Close all cycleCAD tabs
|
|
543
|
+
2. Clear browser cache: `Ctrl+Shift+Delete`
|
|
544
|
+
3. Delete caches in DevTools:
|
|
545
|
+
- F12 → Application → Cache Storage → Delete
|
|
546
|
+
4. Restart browser completely
|
|
547
|
+
5. Hard reload: `Ctrl+Shift+R`
|
|
548
|
+
|
|
549
|
+
### Sync not working
|
|
550
|
+
|
|
551
|
+
**Error:** Offline changes not syncing when online
|
|
552
|
+
|
|
553
|
+
**Fixes:**
|
|
554
|
+
1. Ensure operation was queued (check IndexedDB)
|
|
555
|
+
2. Check network connection (should show green online)
|
|
556
|
+
3. Manual sync: Settings → Offline & Cache → Sync Now
|
|
557
|
+
4. Check browser console for sync errors
|
|
558
|
+
5. Refresh page if stuck

|
+
1. **Register SW early** — Do it in `<head>` for fast caching
|
|
575
|
+
2. **Precache wisely** — Only essential files (saves bandwidth)
|
|
576
|
+
3. **Monitor cache size** — Warn users when approaching limits
|
|
577
|
+
4. **Handle sync errors** — Provide fallback and retry logic
|
|
578
|
+
5. **Test thoroughly** — Use the included test suite
|
|
579
|
+
6. **Document offline behavior** — Clear user expectations
|
|

### For Teams
|
|
582
|
+
|
|
583
|
+
1. **Collaborate offline** — Design independently, merge later
|
|
584
|
+
2. **Version control** — Track changes with timestamps
|
|
585
|
+
3. **Conflict resolution** — Last-write-wins or manual merge
|
|
586
|
+
4. **Share via export** — Use STL/OBJ for file sharing
|
|
587
|
+
5. **Central repository** — Keep cloud project as source of truth
