Laravel PWA is a package designed to seamlessly integrate Progressive Web Application (PWA) functionality into your Laravel projects. With this package, you can easily configure, update the manifest, and register service workers, enabling any Laravel app to function as a PWA.

## Features 🚀

- Automatically generate PWA manifest and service worker
- Configurable installation button
- Supports Laravel 8, 9, 10, and 11
- Easy setup and usage
- Compatible with mobile and desktop devices

## Important ⚠️

Note: PWAs require a secure HTTPS connection to work correctly. Ensure your application is hosted with HTTPS; otherwise, service workers and other PWA features will not function as expected.

## Installation 📦

To get started, install the package using Composer:

```bash
composer require erag/laravel-pwa
```

Once installed, publish the PWA configuration files using:

```bash
php artisan erag:publish-laravel-pwa
```

This will create the required configuration file `config/pwa.php` and set up PWA functionality for your application.

## Configuration ⚙️

### Main Configuration File: `config/pwa.php`

This is your main configuration file where you can customize the PWA settings.

```php
return [
'install-button' => true, // Show or hide install button globally

'manifest' => [
'name' => 'Laravel PWA',
'short_name' => 'LPT',
'background_color' => '#6777ef',
'display' => 'fullscreen',
'description' => 'A Progressive Web Application setup for Laravel projects.',
'theme_color' => '#6777ef',
'icons' => [
[
'src' => 'logo.png',
'sizes' => '512x512',
'type' => 'image/png',
],
],
],

'debug' => env('APP_DEBUG', false),
];
```

### Customizing Manifest File

After changing `config/pwa.php` in your `manifest` array, run this command
You can update your PWA manifest file by running:

```bash
php artisan erag:pwa-update-manifest
```

This command updates the `manifest.json` file located in the public directory of your Laravel project.

## Usage 🛠️

To integrate PWA functionality into your layouts, use the provided Blade directives.

### 1. **Add Meta Tags**

Place the `@PwaHead` directive inside the `` tag of your main layout file:

```blade

@PwaHead
Your App Title

```

### 2. **Register Service Worker**

Just before the closing `` tag in your main layout file, add:

```blade
@RegisterServiceWorkerScript

```

These directives will automatically generate the necessary tags and JavaScript for the PWA.
