[anantjain6]

Set up a basic Progressive Web App so that the "Install" option pops up by the browser.

If interested then you can comment and we can the discussion forward

@anantjain6 - I will be interested to work on this. We can discuss further. I am on Discord with same name (parikshitsm)

@parikshitsm We require you to set up a basic PWA, so that browser detects it and shows the install option. You need to add service worker, manifest and icons.

For icon you are free to use any image (suggestion to use cart icon)

Hi @anantjain6 - To implement PWA I guess the application needs to be secured (Https). Can you please check this link : https://superpwa.com/doc/progressive-web-apps-not-working/

Kindly suggest since PMS is currently not https.

@parikshitsm
You can use a self-signed certificate on your local system to get HTTPS
Or you can try the way mentioned at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34160509/options-for-testing-service-workers-via-http

Sure @anantjain6 - thanks for the inputs. Will update you the status. I have the files ready and tested too, but got error because of https. Let me try the steps that mentioned in the stackoverflow link.

@anantjain6 - I tried some of the suggestions mentioned in above link, but of not much help.
