Comment (by collimarco):

 Any plans to merge this on master branch? Until it remains a plugin it is
 useless.

 The problem is that there are **too many plugins that attempt to serve as
 a general solution for service workers** and **everyone uses a different
 strategy** to register service workers. IMHO **the only solution is to add
 an official hook to Wordpress core** that allows plugins to add their code
 to the service worker.

 For example some days ago we had a customer who were using these two
 plugins:
 https://wordpress.org/plugins/pushpad-web-push-notifications/
 https://wordpress.org/plugins/super-progressive-web-apps/

 They are incompatible because each one tries to register a different
 service worker for the root scope.

 An official hook would definitely solve this kind of conflicts.

 I agree that one service worker for frontend and one for the admin is
 enough.
