versionUpdates
Observable<VersionEvent>Emits a VersionDetectedEvent event whenever a new version is detected on the server.
Emits a VersionInstallationFailedEvent event whenever checking for or downloading a new
version fails.
Emits a VersionReadyEvent event whenever a new version has been downloaded and is ready for
activation.
unrecoverable
Observable<UnrecoverableStateEvent>Emits an UnrecoverableStateEvent event whenever the version of the app used by the service
worker to serve this client is in a broken state that cannot be recovered from without a full
page reload.
isEnabled
booleanTrue if the Service Worker is enabled (supported by the browser and enabled via
ServiceWorkerModule).
checkForUpdate
Promise<boolean>Checks for an update and waits until the new version is downloaded from the server and ready for activation.
Promise<boolean>activateUpdate
Promise<boolean>Updates the current client (i.e. browser tab) to the latest version that is ready for activation.
In most cases, you should not use this method and instead should update a client by reloading the page.
Updating a client without reloading can easily result in a broken application due to a version mismatch between the application shell and other page resources, such as lazy-loaded chunks, whose filenames may change between versions.
Only use this method, if you are certain it is safe for your specific use case.
