This plugin is intended to provide an offline experience for **webpack** projects. It uses **ServiceWorker**, and **AppCache** as a fallback under the hood. Simply include this plugin in your ``webpack.config``, and the accompanying runtime in your client script, and your project will become offline ready by caching all (or some) of the webpack output assets.

## Install

`npm install offline-plugin [--save-dev]`

## Setup

First, instantiate the plugin with [options](docs/options.md) in your `webpack.config`:

```js
// webpack.config.js example

var OfflinePlugin = require('offline-plugin');

module.exports = {
  // ...

  plugins: [
    // ... other plugins
    // it's always better if OfflinePlugin is the last plugin added
    new OfflinePlugin()
  ]
  // ...
}

```

Then, add the [runtime](docs/runtime.md) into your entry file (typically main entry):

```js
require('offline-plugin/runtime').install();
```

ES6/Babel/TypeScript
```js
import * as OfflinePluginRuntime from 'offline-plugin/runtime';
OfflinePluginRuntime.install();
```
