EasyPWA

EasyPWA allows you to create a PWA easily. Like all you have to do is add:

var pwa = window.PWAinit();
window.easyPWA.inject(pwa, "/sw.js");

and copy the file from easypwa/sw.js to the folder your server is running and you have a PWA. Granted it has the default branding, but you can change those values. For example, to change the name, just modify the "name" and "short_name" attributes:

var pwa = window.easyPWA.init();
pwa.name = "Hello World";
pwa.short_name = "Hello World";
window.easyPWA.inject(pwa, "/sw.js");

To see all of the options you can configure, please see the MDN docs on Web app manifests

Upgrading from v1 to v2:

There is some API/code changes in v2 and higher to make it easier on devs making an application using this and fix some issues on a few browsers. So, the code is a lot more stable on v2+
