## What it is
next-offline is a Next.js plugin that wraps your next.config.js to integrate Google's Workbox, generating and registering a service worker for offline support. It makes Next.js applications work as progressive web apps with caching strategies.

## Use cases
- make my next.js app work offline
- add a service worker to next.js
- turn next.js site into a PWA
- cache next.js pages with workbox
- register a service worker in next.js
- add offline caching to a next.js website

## When to choose
- you have a Next.js app and want offline capability or PWA support with minimal config
- you want Workbox-powered cache strategies without hand-writing service worker code

## When to avoid
- you use Next.js 12.2+ with built-in next-pwa alternatives or App Router, since this library is no longer actively maintained
- you are not using Next.js
- you need fine-grained custom service worker logic beyond Workbox configuration

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: caching, web-framework, middleware
- domain: web-development, frontend, developer-tools
- platform: browser
- tags: nextjs, service-worker, workbox, pwa, offline-first, nodejs, web-server
