PWA install flow was wired but unusable: pwaUtil.install() calls
deferred.prompt(), but Chrome only fires beforeinstallprompt when a
valid Service Worker is registered + a manifest is linked. The project
had both intent (manifest, usePwaInstall hook) but no live SW —
public/sw.js was a stale workbox build artifact from a previous
attempt with hardcoded chunk URLs that no longer matched any build.
What this commit does:
1. Add @ducanh2912/next-pwa@10.2.9 as devDependency.
2. Wrap nextConfig with withPWA({...}):
- dest: "public" SW outputs to public/sw.js
- disable: true skip SW generation in dev (HMR-friendly)
- register: false don't auto-inject registration
- workboxOptions.skipWaiting: true + clientsClaim: true — new SW
takes over immediately
3. Add --webpack flag to dev/build/dev:proxy scripts.
@ducanh2912/next-pwa is webpack-only; Turbopack (Next 16 default)
doesn't load webpack plugins. Per user decision to accept the perf
trade-off in exchange for a working PWA.
4. Delete stale public/sw.js (workbox will regenerate it at build
time with the correct chunk URLs).
5. Add src/app/_components/core/sw-register.tsx: a no-UI client
component that registers /sw.js in production. Mounted at the end
of <body> in layout.tsx. disable: true means dev mode skips
registration (no /sw.js to fetch anyway).
After this commit + pnpm build, public/sw.js is regenerated with
correct chunk URLs, registered on first prod load, and Chrome fires
beforeinstallprompt — usePwaInstall + pwaUtil.install() then trigger
the native install prompt end-to-end.
Configure Progressive Web App capabilities for production builds, enabling offline support and installability. PWA is disabled in dev to avoid HMR conflicts, and switches the build to webpack since PWA tooling requires it.
