PWA Install Prompt

Prompt users to add your PWA to their home screen, since Apple won’t.

By default, this module checks if the user has not visited the site before, or if the last time they visited the site was more than 90 days ago, and if they are using iOS. If all conditions are met, then the prompt is shown. The conditions that get checked can be overridden in order to use this prompt for custom scenarios.

Events

Events can be assigned in two ways:

1. Using on parameter on PWA Install Prompt initialization:

    var prompt = new pwaInstallPrompt(".pwa-install-prompt__container", {
        // ...
        on: {
            open: function () {
                console.log("prompt opened!");
            },
        },
    });

2. Using on method after PWA Install Prompt initialization.

    var prompt = new pwaInstallPrompt(".pwa-install-prompt__container", {
        // ...
    });
   
    prompt.on("open", function () {
        console.log("prompt opened!");
    });

| Name | Description | |---------------|---------------------------------------------------| | beforeOpen | Event will be fired right before prompt is opened | | afterOpen | Event will be fired right after prompt is opened | | beforeClose | Event will be fired right before prompt is closed | | afterClose | Event will be fired right after prompt is closed |
