Project Overview: Stage 3

The API is available at the Udacity repository: https://github.com/udacity/mws-restaurant-stage-2 Follow the installation instruction before launching the PWA.

The application falls back the static json file of stage 1 if the API is not available. Therefore, the restaurants will always be available.

In addition, the strategy used:

• Read the IDB database first.
• Read the API, even if IDB returned results, and cache the API response in IDB (to keep up to date the data).
• Read the JSON file if the API in unavailable, and also cache the data in IDB.
