  What are you trying to achieve with payload app as pwa?

  
  

  AFAIK I haven't seen anyone do this before (then again I don't see many pwas these days) so you're treading pretty unknown grounds

  yeah. that's true. but it is possible right ? i mean making it pwa.

  
  
  

  So this application is being served as front end as well. i am using custom routes and components so that's why it will be a webapp for the users and for flexibility i am trying to make it pwa.

  I'm not super familiar with building PWAs, but I imagine you may need to modify the

  index.html

  file that's served after building to include a link to the

  manifest.json

  file.

  Yeah it's possible, you will want to modify the webpack configuration, and by default Payload doesn't serve any

  public

  folder

  
  

  
  

  for the latter you wanna update the build step of copyfiles

  
  "copyfiles": "copyfiles -u 1 \"src/**/*.{html,css,scss,ttf,woff,woff2,eot,svg,jpg,png}\" dist/",
  

  
  

  you see its copying all those file extensions, add one for your .json or simply create a new step to copy a whole folder into dist too

  
  

  
  

  I don't think you need to modify the webpack config actually

  Are you trying to make an offline application?
