PWA / Workbox configuration on the NodeJS / Express server about vitesse HOT 2 CLOSED

@spokospace you don't need to install anything, just run pnpm run build and VitePWA plugin will create for you sw.js on dist folder with index.html modified to install sw.js.

In dev mode, it is not generated (sw.js), only for build, see this issue

If you want to use your own sw.js file, you must go to VitePWA repository to check available options. There are WIP features, so you cannot use certain options, see opened issues there.

You can see how to use workbox here.

To test on your own node/express server, just use the dist folder (all pwa stuff are client side, you cannot use it on server side).

@spokospace you can also run the app with https, run this from the root directory:
pnpm run build && pnpm run preview-https

First time you run it, will ask you about installing a certificate (that will be generated for you), confirm installation on OS (keychain on macosx and certificate manager on windows) and open https://localhost on chrome, for example.

I forgot that thelocalhost-https dev dependency was already included in package.json.
