Installing Angular PWA

Angular comes with great support for service workers, and in recent versions, it has become super easy to set up. Whereas previously you had to manually install the dependencies, edit the Angular config, import a module, and configure it, you can now simply use the ng add command that got introduced in Angular CLI v6.

Exercise 46: Adding Angular PWA

In this exercise, we will add Angular PWA to our app. Follow these steps to complete this exercise:

  1. Open the terminal in the project directory.
  2. Install the necessary dependencies using the npm command:
    ng add @angular/pwa --project angular-social
  3. When the installation is successful, we should see the new package added to the dependencies object in our project's package.json file.

Let's move on to the next section, where we will enable the service worker in the application.
