Service Worker

Question

I am working on implementing changes with Service Workers. I am following the series of posts from Dan Diebolt, Service Worker Travel Logs, and it is making sense. The one part I am stuck on is in the last one;&nbsp;https://community.quickbase.com/quickbase/topics/service-worker-travel-log-day-13, specifically implementing the cheerio.js library. Do I need to bring over every file in the GitHub page, or is there a way to simply reference them all at once?

No just import cheerio.js itself. A Service Worker has no access to the DOM so&nbsp;libraries such as jQuery which presupposes a DOM will not work. Cheerio restores that capability to the Service Worker. However, I would think carefully if you really need it as most Service Workers do not need access to the DOM.Service Workers are the future. Alas, you have to repeat new concepts a hundred times before enlighten, bleeding edge, avant garde&nbsp;users such as yourself pickup on the innovation.

So I had thought about that and checked that. When I use the import, I get an error in the console: bk64mv5j9?a=dbpage&amp;pagename=cheerio.js:5 Uncaught ReferenceError: require is not defined.

After looking back through my code, I figured out that I had forgotten that as a part of your request on day 12, you specify your own table information, after adjusting it to reference the correct table dbid and apptoken, it now works.

Great - you can type up your experience for Day 13. I got bored with the 30 day travel log as there weren't enough early adopters such as yourself. But I use Service Workers elsewhere (no QuickBase) and they are incredible.
