Background Sync for Offline Apps with Service Workers
Dennis Sheppard · Apress eBooks · 2017
Most of the Pirate app is fully offline-capable. There’s one glaring weakness remaining, though, as far as functionality without a connection goes. If you need to make an API call while you don’t have a connection, there’s no mechanism in place to do that. This Pirate app is so great, we’d love for people to be able to leave comments about it. Or even have pirate-based conversations! But what if you happen to like posting Internet comments when you’re out at sea where your Internet connection is choppy? That’s where the Background Sync API is going to help! These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
