Setting service worker to exclude certain urls only
So, considering, you have not posted any code relevant to the service worker, you might consider adding a simple if
conditional inside the code block for fetch
This code block should already be there inside your service worker.Just add the conditionals
self.addEventListener( 'fetch', function ( event ) {
if ( event.request.url.match( '^.*(\/blog\/).*$' ) ) {
return false;
}
// OR
if ( event.request.url.indexOf( '/blog/' ) !== -1 ) {
return false;
}
// **** rest of your service worker code ****
note you can either use the regex or the prototype method indexOf
.
per your whim.
the above would direct your service worker, to just do nothing when the url matches /blog/
Another way to blacklist URLs, i.e., exclude them from being served from cache, when you're using Workbox can be achieved with workbox.routing.registerNavigationRoute
:
workbox.routing.registerNavigationRoute("/index.html", {
blacklist: [/^\/api/,/^\/admin/],
});
The example above demonstrates this for a SPA where all routes are cached and mapped into index.html
except for any URL starting with /api
or /admin
.
