!- analogy : inhumanity of knowledge work - compared to a dog stuck in a cage

!- for : symbolic representation - language - the representation is closely tied to the media - a knowledge worker sits at a desk and plays with symbols in a small area all day! - This is actually inhumane when you think about it

A note on setting worker-loader’s publicPath with webpack 5

Webpack 5 introduced a mechanism to detect the publicPath that should be used automatically

[...]

Webpack 5 exposes a global variable called __webpack_public_path__ that allows you to do that.

// Updates the `publicPath` at runtime, overriding whatever was set in the
// webpack's `output` section.
__webpack_public_path__ = "/workers/";

const myWorker = new Worker(
  new URL("/workers/worker.js");
);

// Eventually, restore the `publicPath` to whatever was set in output.
__webpack_public_path__ = "https://my-static-cdn/";

Web Workers

As of webpack 5, you can use Web Workers without worker-loader.

Syntax

new Worker(new URL('./worker.js', import.meta.url));

// main.js
const { RemoteReadableStream, RemoteWritableStream } = RemoteWebStreams;
(async () => {
  const worker = new Worker('./worker.js');
  // create a stream to send the input to the worker
  const { writable, readablePort } = new RemoteWritableStream();
  // create a stream to receive the output from the worker
  const { readable, writablePort } = new RemoteReadableStream();
  // transfer the other ends to the worker
  worker.postMessage({ readablePort, writablePort }, [readablePort, writablePort]);

  const response = await fetch('./some-data.txt');
  await response.body
    // send the downloaded data to the worker
    // and receive the results back
    .pipeThrough({ readable, writable })
    // show the results as they come in
    .pipeTo(new WritableStream({
      write(chunk) {
        const results = document.getElementById('results');
        results.appendChild(document.createTextNode(chunk)); // tadaa!
      }
    }));
})();

// worker.js
const { fromReadablePort, fromWritablePort } = RemoteWebStreams;
self.onmessage = async (event) => {
  // create the input and output streams from the transferred ports
  const { readablePort, writablePort } = event.data;
  const readable = fromReadablePort(readablePort);
  const writable = fromWritablePort(writablePort);

  // process data
  await readable
    .pipeThrough(new TransformStream({
      transform(chunk, controller) {
        controller.enqueue(process(chunk)); // do the actual work
      }
    }))
    .pipeTo(writable); // send the results back to main thread
};

What you're trying to do is known as the "Application Shell" architectural pattern.

The trick is to have your service worker's fetch handler check to see whether an incoming request is a navigation (event.request.mode === 'navigate'), and if so, respond with the cached App Shell HTML (which sounds like /index.html in your case).

A generic way of doing this would be:

self.addEventListener('fetch', (event) => {
  if (event.request.mode === 'navigate') {
    event.respondWith(caches.match('/index.html'));
  } else {
    // Your other response logic goes here.
  }
});

This will cause your service worker to behave in a similar fashion to how you're web server is already configured.
