Types

BroadcastCacheUpdate

Uses the postMessage() API to inform any open windows/tabs when a cached response has been updated.

For efficiency's sake, the underlying response bodies are not compared; only specific response headers are checked.

Properties

constructor
void
Construct a BroadcastCacheUpdate instance with a specific channelName to broadcast messages on
The constructor function looks like: (options?: BroadcastCacheUpdateOptions) => {...}
- options
  BroadcastCacheUpdateOptions optional
- returns
  BroadcastCacheUpdate
notifyIfUpdated
void
Compares two Responses and sends a message (via postMessage()) to all window clients if the responses differ. Neither of the Responses can be opaque.
The message that's posted has the following format (where payload can be customized via the generatePayload option the instance is created with):
```
{
  type: 'CACHE_UPDATED',
  meta: 'workbox-broadcast-update',
  payload: {
    cacheName: 'the-cache-name',
    updatedURL: 'https://example.com/'
  }
}
```
The notifyIfUpdated function looks like: (options: CacheDidUpdateCallbackParam) => {...}
- options
  CacheDidUpdateCallbackParam
- returns
  Promise<void>
  Resolves once the update is sent.
