PWA to Reflex

[ppspps824]

Hello community!

I have been working feverishly on creating a web app in Reflex for the past few days.

I am aware that the use of web services on mobile devices is accelerating these days, and I was wondering if it would be possible to make this happen in Reflex in the form of a PWA.

We will describe how we have done it successfully, but we understand that it is a hacky way to do it. Can you tell us if there is a better way or native support?

*It seems to have been mentioned a bit in this Issue, but it looked like the tag that links manifest.json was not actually written in the head. (Please let me know if my understanding is wrong!)

Thanks.

Python Script

app = rx.App(
    head_components=[
        rx.script(
            """
    document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function () {
        var head = document.head;

        // Create link to manifest
        var linkManifest = document.createElement('link');
        linkManifest.rel = 'manifest';
        linkManifest.href = '/manifest.json';
        head.appendChild(linkManifest);
    });
"""

have you tried adding the rx.el.link tag directly?

app = rx.App(
    head_components=[rx.el.link(rel="manifest", href="/manifest.json")]
)
