Laravel PWA is a package designed to seamlessly integrate Progressive Web Application (PWA) functionality into your Laravel projects. With this package, you can easily configure, update the manifest, and register service workers, enabling any Laravel app to function as a PWA.
Features 🚀
- Automatically generate PWA manifest and service worker
- Configurable installation button
- Supports Laravel 8, 9, 10, and 11
- Easy setup and usage
- Compatible with mobile and desktop devices
Important ⚠️
Note: PWAs require a secure HTTPS connection to work correctly. Ensure your application is hosted with HTTPS; otherwise, service workers and other PWA features will not function as expected.
Installation 📦
To get started, install the package using Composer:
composer require erag/laravel-pwa
Once installed, publish the PWA configuration files using:
php artisan erag:publish-laravel-pwa
This will create the required configuration file config/pwa.php and set up PWA functionality for your application.
Configuration ⚙️
Main Configuration File: config/pwa.php
This is your main configuration file where you can customize the PWA settings.
return [
'install-button' => true, // Show or hide install button globally
'manifest' => [
'name' => 'Laravel PWA',
'short_name' => 'LPT',
'background_color' => '#6777ef',
'display' => 'fullscreen',
'description' => 'A Progressive Web Application setup for Laravel projects.',
'theme_color' => '#6777ef',
'icons' => [
[
'src' => 'logo.png',
'sizes' => '512x512',
'type' => 'image/png',
],
],
],
'debug' => env('APP_DEBUG', false),
];
Customizing Manifest File
After changing config/pwa.php in your manifest array, run this command
You can update your PWA manifest file by running:
php artisan erag:pwa-update-manifest
This command updates the manifest.json file located in the public directory of your Laravel project.
Usage 🛠️
To integrate PWA functionality into your layouts, use the provided Blade directives.
1. Add Meta Tags
Place the @PwaHead directive inside the <head> tag of your main layout file:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
@PwaHead <!-- Add this directive to include the PWA meta tags -->
<title>Your App Title</title>
</head>
<body>
2. Register Service Worker
Just before the closing </body> tag in your main layout file, add:
@RegisterServiceWorkerScript <!-- This registers the service worker -->
</body>
</html>
These directives will automatically generate the necessary tags and JavaScript for the PWA.
