If we fetch our own assets we want a CORS response to properly cache it in the service worker. If the response is served from the browser cache however, then there is a high chance that the required response headers are missing and the browser responds with a CORS error instead of refetching the resource. This happens because the Vary header does not include headers not present in the original request. To avoid this error, always fetch from the network for requests we intend to cache in the SW.

Demo

https://www.loom.com/share/280ee174d1484814a06e4d2a1c9c2674?sid=374d929f-89ef-4ae5-ad9b-b108e5391737

Testing scenarios

  • setup ngrok to get a public URL with https (ngrok http 3000) and configure it in .env afterwards
  • locally run in production mode (yarn predeploy && yarn start)
  • open the site from the public URL
  • clear service worker cache
  • close tab and reopen the site
  • on master you'll now see broken login images, on PR this is fixed

Final checklist

  • I checked the code review guidelines
  • I have added Metrics Representative as reviewer(s) if my PR invovles metrics/data/analytics related changes
  • I have performed a self-review of my code, the same way I'd do it for any other team member
  • I have tested all cases I listed in the testing scenarios and I haven't found any issues or regressions
  • Whenever I took a non-obvious choice I added a comment explaining why I did it this way
  • I added the label Skip Maintainer Review Indicating the PR only requires reviewer review and can be merged right after it's approved if the PR introduces only minor changes, does not contain any architectural changes or does not introduce any new patterns and I think one review is sufficient'
  • PR title is human readable and could be used in changelog
