A collection of JavaScript tools for generating, testing, and experimenting with service workers, including a generator, a webpack plugin, and a mock environment for testing service worker code. The project is explicitly no longer maintained.

Use cases

• generate service worker files from configuration
• test service worker code in a mocked environment
• integrate service worker generation into a webpack build
• run experiments with multiple service worker versions
• add offline caching to a web app

When to choose

• you need a configurable, forkable service worker generator with pure-JavaScript templates
• you want to unit test service worker logic with a mock environment
• you need to generate multiple service worker files for experimentation or rollout

When to avoid

• you want an actively maintained project - it is explicitly unmaintained
• you prefer mainstream alternatives like Workbox or sw-precache
• you need minimal bundle sizes, since injected globals increase output size
