PWA Testing

Solid Site supports PWA and worker auto updating powered by Vite PWA Plugin. When testing run yarn https-preview. Running it the first time will ask to install the certificate if not yet done. Then open your Chrome and press F12 > Network Tab > browse to https://localhost. Wait until the network requests with gears at the begining stops downloading the SW precache, then on the same Network Tab just change No throttling option to Offline. All pages should work by pressing F5 (do not do a hard refresh Crtl + F5 as it will force the browser to go to the server and the Chrome Dinosaur will appear).

Additional information

How do the documentation files work?

They're imported from the Solid Docs package. There's a script there that builds the markdown files into consumable JSON files, and the package provides functions to load them.
