Store value in service-worker in Angular

Question

I had created a service-worker and make it get to register. I used below code in some js file

self.addEventListener('install', function (event) {
    console.log('installing');
})
self.addEventListener('activate', function (event) {
    console.log('activating', event);
})

Can i store a variable value in angular. Like I want to store a value of 'x' in the cache by using a service worker. How can I do that?

Answer 1

Use IndexedDb for this.

You can store the value in IndexedDb inside of the Service Worker and then access it inside of the Angular app. The localForage library provides a nice to user wrapper around IndexedDb, you can use this library in both your Service Worker and inside of Angular.
