good tutorial but why would you short event to evt. Reads as 'eventually' for saving 2 letters of space...

When a service worker is reinstalled, does the old one get uninstalled automatically, or do you need to deal with it yourself?

Just so you don’t run into memory leaks because a billion service workers remains installed every time you update the service worker file…

I am creating PWA with cakePHP. My app is working fine(PWA workbox). But I have some problems or requirements for the app.

Can App cache be updated automatically on any app changes(text,
images, CSS, js).
In my case I cannot define the cache version in the Service worker and cannot define the Maxagesecond method of Workbox.

I don't know if you will explain it later but I wondering...which approach we have to follow if we want to do the full update of the new SW? I mean, when we have a new version and the SW is waiting after installation because there are anothers tabs open. I read something about "skipWaiting" to force that but I don't know how to use it or if it's the correct approach.

Can anyone tell me what is self in this sw.js file?

Why on my comp it doesn't work? Register ok but not install sw.js
