Website does not refresh when content changes in Cache-First strategy
I am using the Cache-first strategy in my progressive web application that I want to support offline browsing. I noticed that offline browsing works fine, but when I update the content on the website, it still shows the old file. I'm not sure what is wrong with my code because I want it to check if there is an update before downloading the offline content. I have the manifest.json , the Service-worker.js , Offlinepage.js and main.js .
Here is my service-worker.js code that I used:
//service worker configuration
'use strict';
const
version = '1.0.0',
CACHE = version + '::PWA',
offlineURL = '/offline/',
installFilesEssential = [
'/',
'/manifest.json',
'/theme/pizza/css/style.css',
'/theme/pizza/css/font-awesome/font-awesome.css',
'/theme/pizza/javascript/script.js',
'/theme/pizza/javascript/offlinepage.js',
'/theme/pizza/logo.png',
'/theme/pizza/icon.png'
].concat(offlineURL),
installFilesDesirable = [
'/favicon.ico',
'/theme/pizza/logo.png',
'/theme/pizza/icon.png'
];
// install static assets
function installStaticFiles() {
return caches.open(CACHE)
.then(cache => {
// cache desirable files
cache.addAll(installFilesDesirable);
// cache essential files
return cache.addAll(installFilesEssential);
});
}
// clear old caches
function clearOldCaches() {
return caches.keys()
.then(keylist => {
return Promise.all(
keylist
.filter(key => key !== CACHE)
.map(key => caches.delete(key))
);
});
}
// application installation
self.addEventListener('install', event => {
console.log('service worker: install');
// cache core files
event.waitUntil(
installStaticFiles()
.then(() => self.skipWaiting())
);
});
// application activated
self.addEventListener('activate', event => {
console.log('service worker: activate');
// delete old caches
event.waitUntil(
clearOldCaches()
.then(() => self.clients.claim())
);
});
// is image URL?
let iExt = ['png', 'jpg', 'jpeg', 'gif', 'webp', 'bmp'].map(f => '.' + f);
function isImage(url) {
return iExt.reduce((ret, ext) => ret || url.endsWith(ext), false);
}
// return offline asset
function offlineAsset(url) {
if (isImage(url)) {
// return image
return new Response(
'<svg role="img" viewBox="0 0 400 300" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><title>offline</title><path d="M0 0h400v300H0z" fill="#eee" /><text x="200" y="150" text-anchor="middle" dominant-baseline="middle" font-family="sans-serif" font-size="50" fill="#ccc">offline</text></svg>',
{ headers: {
'Content-Type': 'image/svg+xml',
'Cache-Control': 'no-store'
}}
);
}
else {
// return page
return caches.match(offlineURL);
}
}
// application fetch network data
self.addEventListener('fetch', event => {
// abandon non-GET requests
if (event.request.method !== 'GET') return;
let url = event.request.url;
event.respondWith(
caches.open(CACHE)
.then(cache => {
return cache.match(event.request)
.then(response => {
if (response) {
// return cached file
console.log('cache fetch: ' + url);
return response;
}
// make network request
return fetch(event.request)
.then(newreq => {
console.log('network fetch: ' + url);
if (newreq.ok) cache.put(event.request, newreq.clone());
return newreq;
})
// app is offline
.catch(() => offlineAsset(url));
});
})
);
});

I solved the problem as below: ie if user is disconnected from else load cache from network
// application fetch network data
self.addEventListener('fetch', event => {
// abandon non-GET requests
if (event.request.method !== 'GET') return;
let url = event.request.url;
event.respondWith(
caches.open(CACHE)
.then(cache => {
return cache.match(event.request)
.then(response => {
if (response && !navigator.onLine) {
// return cached file
console.log('cache fetch: ' + url);
return response;
}
// make network request
return fetch(event.request)
.then(newreq => {
console.log('network fetch: ' + url);
if (newreq.ok) cache.put(event.request, newreq.clone());
return newreq;
})
// app is offline
.catch(() => offlineAsset(url));
});
})
);
});

Add the [VERSION] link to the src of your link.
For example:
<script type="text/javascript" src="your_file.js?1500"></script>
and every time you update your code just add the number to your version.
Actually this is a duplicate question see here for other solutions.
