How to use

Import ew.js into your app:

<script type=module src="https://web.exokit.org/ew.js"></script>

In the top-level directory of your app, create the file sw.js with these contents:

importScripts('https://web.exokit.org/sw.js');

The boilerplate code has this set up already.

Finally, make sure you are serving your app over https:// (or localhost), which is required for Service Workers.

And that's it! Read the API Documentation.
