Enabling PWA in Five​

To enable Progressive Web Application (PWA) functionality in Five, the application must be configured at the Instance level.

This is done by adding a Key: Value pair in the Server Options field on the Instance record.

Configuration​

    ENABLE_PWA
  • Value:
    TRUE
info
When making changes to your Instance record, for the changes to be applied, you must remove your application from deployment and redeploy your application again.

Result​

Once this setting is applied:

  • The instance of the application will be enabled as a Progressive Web Application
  • Users will be able to install the app on supported devices
  • Offline functionality (when implemented using Five's offline APIs) will be available within the PWA environment

Important Notes​

  • This setting is required for offline functionality to work
  • Offline capabilities are only available when the application is running as a PWA, not within the standard Five environment
  • Additional implementation, custom actions using offline APIs, is required to fully support offline use
