![]() ![]() It’s so complicated that films that can afford it will hire a separate VFX Editor just to keep track of the film’s VFX and to create temp comps as placeholders until the VFX come in. ('/sw.js').then(function() Ĭaches.open(cacheName).Managing VFX is a daunting subject and a big task, even for smaller films. Then, in your application JavaScript (not the sw.js file, but where you keep your other scripts), you can write a little script to test for feature support and then register the service worker if its supported like so: This file should live in the root of your site/app. We’ll need to create a service worker file, called sw.js. It’s quick to set up and works flawlessly with Github pages too (what I have my blog served on). The easiest way I know to do this is via Cloudflare. You’ll see something like:īefore we can use service workers, we’ll need to implement HTTPS (a secure HTTP connection). This is where you can see your list of service workers and work with them (no pun intended), such as if you need to unregister one while debugging. To see them, navigate to to chrome://serviceworker-internals in Chrome, or about:debugging in Firefox. You likely already have a few service worker caches saved in your browser. ![]() Also be aware that for service worker Cache, some versions of browsers support different versions of cache than others. While service worker support is still missing in Safari and Edge, they seem to be working on it. Support for service workers is still a bit patchy, but getting much better: It can detect when you have an Internet connection and when you don’t, and can responds in different ways based on the response. If you’re wondering what a service worker is, it’s like a little alien that lives on your page and relays messages for you. ![]() You can join the discussion around best practices and implications. This modality is an idea called offline-first web design and we’re really just starting to scratch the surface of what that means. And if they just want to save battery and be on airplane mode, that’s cool too. If they want to save your article to read on an airplane or at at a café in a foreign country where they have no internet plan, they can do that. If they accidentally click and the browser refreshes, they won’t lose their place. This way, if someone is reading your blog on the subway, and loses their Internet connection, they won’t lose their place. I recently added an option to save blog posts for offline reading, and this post will detail how I did that so you can too. The offline web experience we’re providing users is something we all need to start thinking about. The subway is also famous for not having reliable cell service, so many of those people trying to read articles on their phone are struggling with cache and unexpected reloads if they click the wrong button. On said subway ride, despite its many glorious people watching moments, most commuters are just on their phones, reading articles or trying to browse the web. I just moved to New York City and started commuting to work on the subway. Your browser does not support the audio element. ![]()
