Simplifying PWA Development with Clean APIs with PWAFire

Learn how this lightweight library makes Progressive Web App development effortless.

Quick intro

I created PWAFire - a lightweight library that provides clean, simple APIs for common PWA features.

The Problem with Native PWA APIs

Working with native browser APIs for PWA features often means:

  • Verbose boilerplate code for simple tasks
  • Inconsistent browser support and quirks
  • Complex fallback logic for unsupported features
  • Repetitive feature detection across projects

PWAFire wraps these complex APIs into simple, consistent methods:

import { webShare } from "pwafire/web-share";
import { copyText } from "pwafire/clipboard";

// e.g share stuff through native os share dialog
await webShare({
  title: document.title,
  url: window.location.href
});

// or just copy to clipboard
await copyText(window.location.href);

Automatically handles:

  • Feature detection - checks if Web Share is supported
  • Cross-browser compatibility - works on all modern browsers
  • Error handling - provides consistent error responses
