This project, image-upload-pwa-example, is a modern web application built using React, TypeScript, and Vite. It's designed as a Progressive Web App (PWA) and allows users to load and save images to IndexedDB from their camera roll or directly from their camera. For a true PWA experience, it is configured to be served over HTTPS, even in development, using https-localhost.
These instructions will guide you through setting up the project on your local machine for development and testing purposes.
- Node.js (version 18.x or later)
- Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/snowball-tools/image-upload-pwa-example.git cd image-upload-pwa-example - Install the dependencies
npm installThis project uses https-localhost to serve content securely during development. To start the development server with HTTPS enabled, use the dev:https script:
npm run dev:httpsAfter starting the server, open https://localhost in your browser to view the app. https-localhost ensures the local development certificate is trusted by your browser, facilitating the testing of PWA features that require HTTPS, such as service workers and secure context features.
- React for building user interfaces with a component-based architecture.
- TypeScript for static type definitions, enhancing development experience and code quality.
- Vite for ultra-fast development and bundling, leveraging modern web technologies.
- PWA setup for offline support, background sync, and installability, with a secure HTTPS development environment provided by https-localhost.
To build the app for production, run the following command:
npm run buildThis will generate a dist directory with your compiled assets, ready to be deployed.
Refer to the Vite Deployment Guide for specific instructions on deploying your application to popular hosting providers.
