PWA vs Packaged

It's important to know that the OHIF Viewer project provides two different build processes:

# Static Asset output: For deploying PWAsyarn run build

Progressive Web Application (PWA)

[Progressive Web Apps][pwa] are a new breed of web applications that meet the [following requirements][pwa-checklist]. Notably, targeting a PWA allows us provide a reliable, fast, and engaging experience across different devices and network conditions.

The OHIF Viewer is maintained as a [monorepo][monorepo]. We use WebPack to build the many small static assets that comprise our application. Also generated is an index.html that will serve as an entry point for loading configuration and the application, as well as a service-worker that can intelligently cache files so that subsequent requests are from the local file system instead of over the network.

You can read more about this particular strategy in our Build for Production Deployment Guide

Commonjs Bundle (Packaged Script)

We are not supporting Commonjs bundling inside OHIF-v3.
