Can Smart Editor work offline in a PWA using JavaScript?

[linda05]

Hi everyone, I am working on a scheduling screen for support teams with Editor. I am currently trying to solve this: Can Smart Editor work offline in a PWA using JavaScript? So far, I tried a couple of approaches from forum threads, but the UI behaves inconsistently after data updates. What approach would you recommend here?

Hi,

Smart Editor can work offline in a JavaScript PWA, but the recommended approach is to make the PWA responsible for offline support, not the editor itself. The Smart UI team recommends bundling all editor assets locally and using a Service Worker with a cache-first strategy so the editor loads without a network connection.

Example setup:

Register the Service Worker:

if ('serviceWorker' in navigator) {
  navigator.serviceWorker.register('/sw.js');
}

A simple cache-first strategy:

const CACHE = 'support-dashboard-v1';

self.addEventListener('fetch', event => {
  event.respondWith(
    caches.match(event.request).then(cached => {
      return cached || fetch(event.request);
    })
  );
});

Regards,
Markov
