:: Details

Doc plan: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/MDN/Plans/Service_Workers

This will be a slightly intricate project, because it will involve both writing docs for service workers themselves and updating many existing articles to cover how service workers can be made use of in those contexts. Once the doc plan has been written thoroughly, dependencies should be filed on this bug.

Documentation started - landing page and basic Using guide done, see

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/ServiceWorker_API

More will be done when the SW caching API is supported - at that point, it will start to get more interesting.

Note this site, which was set up by a contractor for the API team as a tutorial/resource: http://serviceworker.org/

This may be useful.

Service Worker docs have been written. For status of the documentation and work that's still to be done, see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/MDN/Doc_status/API/ServiceWorkers
