Progressive Web Apps combine the best of web and native applications, providing offline functionality, push notifications, and home screen installation for enhanced user engagement. As the creator of CoreUI, a widely used open-source UI library, I’ve built PWA-enabled dashboards throughout my 12 years of frontend development since 2014. The most reliable approach is using Create React App’s built-in PWA template or adding Workbox for custom service worker configuration. This method provides automatic caching strategies, offline support, and update management without complex service worker code.

Providing offline functionality ensures your Angular application remains usable even without an internet connection, improving user experience and reliability. As the creator of CoreUI, a widely used open-source UI library, I’ve implemented offline-capable applications throughout my 11 years of Angular development. The most effective approach is using Angular’s PWA package with service workers to cache assets and API responses. This method provides automatic caching strategies and seamless offline support with minimal configuration.

Adding service workers enables Angular applications to cache assets, work offline, and provide faster load times for returning users. As the creator of CoreUI with over 11 years of Angular development experience since 2014, I’ve implemented service workers in numerous enterprise applications. The most effective solution is to use Angular’s built-in service worker package which handles caching and updates automatically. This approach requires minimal configuration and provides robust offline capabilities.
