What Is PWA?
A progressive web app (PWA) is the set of mobile web
application development techniques that entails building apps that feel and
look like native ones. Progressive Web App combines rich functionality and
smooth user experience associated with native apps using web stack like JS,
HTML, and CSS.
How To Get Started With PWA?
The Web App manifest — a JSON file — is the first component
that gives the progressive its native app interface appearance. With this use
of Manifest, a developer has all the control on the way the app is displayed to
the user & how the app will launch? This file helps developers to find a
centralized place for the web app’s metadata. The manifest usually contains a
starting URL, an app’s full and short name, links to icons and icon sizes,
type, and location. A developer has the facility to determine a splash screen
as well as screen color for the address bar. To enable all these settings, a
developer just needs to add a single link to the manifest in all website page
header.

flavor. After the installation, a user clicks on its icon on a device home
screen and gets straight to the website.
