Introduction
Laravel PWA turns your Laravel app into a Progressive Web App (PWA). It's
small and opinionated, so there isn't much to set up.
It gives you:
- Blade directives that add the PWA head tags and register the service
worker.
- An Artisan command that generates your
manifest.json file and publishes
a sw.js service worker.
The service worker keeps things fast without showing stale content:
- Pages are always fetched from the network first, so users see the latest
version.
- Static assets, like images and scripts, are served from the cache first,
so they load quickly.
It also skips the cache for requests from
Inertia.js (X-Inertia),
Livewire (X-Livewire,
X-Livewire-Navigate), and htmx (HX-Request), so
these frameworks never receive a stale, cached response.
Let your AI agent do the hard parts. This package ships a Laravel Boost skill, pwa-development, that teaches your agent how to install, configure and use Laravel PWA. Install Boost and select the skill when prompted:
composer require laravel/boost --dev
php artisan boost:install
Already using Boost? Run php artisan boost:update --discover to pick up the skill. Then just ask, for example: "Turn this app into an installable PWA with our logo as the app icon."
Continue to Installation to get started.
