+
+> This article was originally posted [here](https://medium.com/codeburst/all-you-need-to-know-about-progressive-web-app-4ba73368da66)
+
+By now you must have heard this buzz word called "**Progressive Web App**".
+Let me give you a simple definition about PWAs.
+
+> Progressive Web Apps are Web Apps which combines the best features of Web and Native Apps. It is progressive because it is constantly progressing.
+
+### Why Progressive Web Apps?
+
+Now let's talk about the "_WHY_". Why [Frances
+Berriman](https://medium.com/u/ffd9b3451626) and [Alex
+Russell](https://medium.com/u/fa63e1e8071) came up with a concept called
+Progressive Web Apps? Before that let's understand what problems does it solve.
+
+#### Problems with Native Apps?
+
+We all have used Android or iOS apps on our smartphones. We use them for all
+kinds of thing. But while installing any Android/iOS apps we go through these
+problems:
+
+1. **Is this app worth downloading**?
+2. **Do I have enough space**?
+3. **My available data is not sufficient**.
+
+One recent survey shows that people are **turning away from Android/iOS apps**,
+because not all app experiences are satisfying or worthwhile. Some people simply
+don't want any more apps on their phone, some even hesitate to download any app.
+
+If you take a look at the apps installed on your mobile right now there might be
+at least a dozen apps that you do not use regularly. Sometimes apps only works
+good when the phone has an active internet connection.
+
+![App Installation Problems](https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1000/1*Vnkijr5zdXM87DY7q40VQg.png)
+
+The irony is that most of the apps have a fully responsive website performing
+the same functions. So why waste your precious disk space and your internet data
+on your smartphone by installing the native app? The average size of apps that
+we install from play store/app stores would range from 30–200MB. Moreover, these
+app needs to updated every week! But Progressive Web Apps are within some KBs
+and are automatically updated. Thanks to service worker. 🙂
+
+> What if a website can do that and much more than a Native app? This is what Progressive Web Apps (PWA) are trying to accomplish.
+
+![PWA Benefits](https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1000/1*e7xxOa3_1AoK5-qg6ryrAQ.png)
+
+In short, **Progressive web apps** combine everything that is great about a
+native mobile application with everything that is great about a mobile website.
+
+Some other ways I like to describe them:
+
+> "The best of the web, plus the best of native apps" Or, in [Alex](https://medium.com/u/fa63e1e8071)'s words: "Just websites that took all the right vitamins"
+
+#### Features of PWAs:
+
+![PWA Features](https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1000/1*m1oKttWs-JKCVPx0SoB1fA.png)
+
+- **Progressive** — The word progressive means it works for every user, regardless
+  of browser choice because they're built with [progressive
+  enhancement](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_enhancement) as a core
+  tenet.
+- **Responsive** — Automatically adjustable to any form: desktop, mobile, tablet
+  etc.
+- **Load Time** — Progressive Web Apps are instantly available
+- **App-like** — Feels like a mobile app with app-style interactions since it's
+  built on the app shell model.
+- **Fresh** — Always up-to-date so you do not need to update it again and again
+  like any other Android/iOS apps.
+- **Safe** — Served via HTTPS to ensure content is securely delivered
+- **Engaging** — Features like push notifications, etc. makes it very engaging.
+- **Installable** — Allows users to install the website as an app on their home
+  screen without the taking user to an app store.
+- **Linkable** — Easily shared via a URL and do not require complex installation.
+
+#### Benefits of making a Progressive Web App rather than building a fully functional Android App?
+
+- **Cost Effective** — For an app publisher, the biggest advantage is the cost
+  saving in terms of app development and maintenance. Because it is assumed that
+  making a website is lot more easier than making a Android App.
+- **Cross Platform** — Unlike any other apps, Progressive Web Apps are not
+  restricted to any specific platform. That means you do not need to develop
+  separate versions of app for different platforms.

+### Introducing Flipkart Lite — The progressive mobile web app
+
+Flipkart, India's largest e-commerce site, decided to combine their web presence
+and native app into a Progressive Web Application that has resulted in a 70%
+increase in conversions. Flipkart's PWA takes merely 100KB to download, is 100
+times smaller than the 10MB Android app and 300 times smaller than the iOS app.
+Repeat visits take less than 10KB to download.

+
+### How to use a Progressive Web App?
+
+Probably, you must be wondering how to use a Progressive Web App! Well, you can
+just click on any links mentioned above. But provided that you must be using a
+smart phone in order to install it your own device.
+
+Now let's click open [Flipkart](https://www.flipkart.com/) in chrome. (_You
+must be using a Mobile Device_). Below are some screenshots which demonstrates
+the installation of a PWA.
+
+![PWA Installation](https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1000/1*LpvtFH3hIbPpJ9e4xRpMbg.png)
+
+---
+
+### Now Let's create a Progressive Web App:
+
+Here, I'll show you how I've created a Progressive Web App for simple blog. You
+can get the codes [here.](https://github.com/SouravInsights/pwablog) Now that we
+have a basic website we can start turning it into a progressive web app. To do
+this we need to add a few things to it which I'll go through as we need them.
+
+### Testing your PWA
+
+To check if your site is working as a PWA you can use
+[Lighthouse](https://developers.google.com/web/tools/lighthouse/). Lighthouse is
+a chrome extension that will tell you if your site is a good PWA and if it isn't
+how to improve it. Once installed open up your website and click on the
+Lighthouse icon in the top right of your browser then Generate Report.
+
+![Lighthouse Testing](https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1000/1*1jPywRVAHcebZeUIyPMllQ.png)
+
+### Make an app icon
+
+Your site is going to be on a home screen, you need some sort of icon to
+represent it. Here I've used a downloaded logo from internet.
+
+![PWA Icon](https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1000/1*GwBZgjItyjEwaaZn-lxTTA.png)
+
+### Register Service Worker
+
+Add service worker `<script>` to
+[index.html:](https://github.com/SouravInsights/pwablog/blob/master/index.html)
+
+A service worker is another file we add to our project, it will allow the site
+to work offline. It is also a requirement of a PWA, so we need one.
+
+### Cache Static Resources
+
+Create [sw.js](https://github.com/Meggin/hello-world-pwa/blob/master/src/sw.js)
+and add `index.html` cache:
+
+```javascript
+var cacheName = "pwa";
+var filesToCache = ["/", "/index.html"];
+
+self.addEventListener("install", function (e) {
+  console.log("[ServiceWorker] Install");
+  e.waitUntil(
+    caches.open(cacheName).then(function (cache) {
+      console.log("[ServiceWorker] Caching app shell");
+      return cache.addAll(filesToCache);
+    })
+  );
+});
+
+self.addEventListener("activate", (event) => {
+  event.waitUntil(self.clients.claim());
+});
+
+self.addEventListener("fetch", (event) => {
+  event.respondWith(
+    caches.match(event.request, { ignoreSearch: true }).then((response) => {
+      return response || fetch(event.request);
+    })
+  );
+});
+```
+
+#### Web App Manifest
+
+To support [add to homescreen
+feature](https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/app-install-banners/),
+we need to create a manifest file.
+
+> "The web app manifest provides information about an application (such as name, author, icon, and description) in a JSON text file. The purpose of the manifest is to install web applications to the homescreen of a device, providing users with quicker access and a richer experience."
+
+The simplest way I did this was by using [this online icon generator
+tool](http://www.favicon-generator.org/). Feed it your shiny new icon and it
+will spit out a bunch of resized versions and some HTML code.
+
+- Download the file it gives you and unzip it.
+- Put the icons in a folder next to the rest of your site.
+- Add the code it gave you to the head of your index.html file
+- Make sure the path to the icons is right. I put them all in a sub folder so had
+  to add "icons/" to each line.
+
+![Manifest Setup](https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1000/1*5LM7_X9cAfH51oyX2aB59g.png)
+
+Now you have a manifest that was created by the icon generator tool, but we're
+going to add a little bit more to it. Head over to a [web app manifest
+generator](https://tomitm.github.io/appmanifest/) and start filling in the info
+about your site. After doing all these thibgs my manifest ended up looking like
+[this.](https://github.com/SouravInsights/pwablog/blob/master/manifest.json)
+
+```json
+{
+  "name": "Progressive Web App",
+  "short_name": "PWA",
+  "lang": "en-US",
+  "start_url": "/index.html",
+  "display": "standalone",
+  "theme_color": "#2196F3",
+  "icons": [
+    {
+      "src": "icons/android-icon-36x36.png",
+      "sizes": "36x36",
+      "type": "image/png",
+      "density": "0.75"
+    },
+    {
+      "src": "icons/android-icon-48x48.png",
+      "sizes": "48x48",
+      "type": "image/png",
+      "density": "1.0"
+    },
+    {
+      "src": "icons/android-icon-72x72.png",
+      "sizes": "72x72",
+      "type": "image/png",
+      "density": "1.5"
+    },
+    {
+      "src": "icons/android-icon-96x96.png",
+      "sizes": "96x96",
+      "type": "image/png",
+      "density": "2.0"
+    },
+    {
+      "src": "icons/android-icon-144x144.png",
+      "sizes": "144x144",
+      "type": "image/png",
+      "density": "3.0"
+    },
+    {
+      "src": "icons/android-icon-192x192.png",
+      "sizes": "192x192",
+      "type": "image/png",
+      "density": "4.0"
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```

+
+#### Now Microsoft is supporting Google's Progressive Web Apps platform and that's great news for everyone.
+
+Microsoft [recently
+announced](https://www.windowscentral.com/microsoft-teams-and-progressive-web-apps-coming-soon-windows-store)
+that Progressive Web Apps (PWA) will soon be supported by the Microsoft Edge web
+browser. Moreover, a few apps hitting the Windows Store — like Slack and
+[Trello](https://www.windowscentral.com/trello-launches-official-desktop-app-windows-store)
+— are now mixing PWA with Electron and elements of the Universal Windows
+Platform (UWP).
+
+**I hope this has helped to get a good understanding about Progressive Web Apps,
+but if not, please leave a comment or [tweet
+me](https://twitter.com/SouravInsights).**
