A zero-config, framework-agnostic Vite plugin that adds Progressive Web App support to web applications. It generates service workers with offline support via Workbox, auto-injects a Web App Manifest, and provides built-in new-content prompts for Vue 3, React, Svelte, SolidJS, Preact, and vanilla JavaScript.

Use cases

• add pwa support to a vite app
• make my web app work offline
• generate a service worker for vite project
• add web app manifest automatically
• prompt users to reload when new content is available
• generate pwa icons and assets from one image
• add pwa to nuxt or sveltekit project

When to choose

• you use Vite (or a Vite-based meta-framework like Nuxt 3, SvelteKit, Astro, Remix, VitePress) and want PWA capabilities with minimal setup
• you need offline support, caching strategies, and web app manifest generation in one plugin
• you want framework-specific helpers for prompting users about new service worker content

When to avoid

• your project does not use Vite as its build tool
• you need fine-grained, non-standard service worker behavior that Workbox cannot express
• you are building a native mobile app with no web frontend
