## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: active
