This helps automatically generate a basic PWA style manifest which will help devices install your website to their homescreens, mainly to save headache of having to create these extra files yourself.
It uses browser detection to include the approprite meta e.g Chrome and Android will be provided with a JSON manifest, whilst other browsers will be provided with the meta tags.
Usage
-
Install via composer
composer require owenmelbz/laravel-pwa-manifest

Register the service provider (if the auto discovery does not work) - typically done inside the
app.php
providers array e.gOwenMelbz\PwaManifest\PwaManifestServiceProvider::class
-
Publish the package via
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="OwenMelbz\PwaManifest\PwaManifestServiceProvider"
-
Configure the
config/pwa_manifest.php
to your liking, including your app name, colours themes etc. -
Include within your
<head>
the blade directive@pwaManifest
this should include the appropriate manifest per device/browser.
Launcher images
If you provide a single source image within the icon
key - we will automatically generate and cache the icon sizes for you. Simply add your source file to somewhere accessible and we'll do the rest for you.
If you want to define your own set of 3 icons, then simply set the icon
key to either null
or false
, then provide the public path to your image assets.
