Step 1 - Add @angular/pwa schematic

The first thing you need to do on your existing Angular app to transform it into a Progressive Web App is, adding @angular/pwa schematic to your app.

Simply run add command on your Angular CLI.

npx ng add @angular/pwa

Acknowledge local changes

Running ng add @angular/pwa creates the following files for your application;

ngsw-config.json
src/assets/icons/icon-128x128.png
src/assets/icons/icon-144x144.png
src/assets/icons/icon-152x152.png
src/assets/icons/icon-192x192.png
src/assets/icons/icon-384x384.png
src/assets/icons/icon-512x512.png
src/assets/icons/icon-72x72.png
src/assets/icons/icon-96x96.png
src/manifest.webmanifest

It will also tweak your angular.json, index.html and app.module.ts files accordingly. Please take a look at your local diff by running git status and git diff.

Test the build

Test the production build by running npm run build:prod. If no error shows up, continue.

Good to go 🎯

Now you can continue to Step 2 -> Change web app manifest.
