Configure Vue app to be a PWA

🚀 Goal

Convert our Vue.js app into a Progressive Web App (PWA). This will enable features like offline functionality.

🤔 Background

We're expanding our DWA starter collection to include Vue.js. This task focuses on adding PWA capabilities, which are crucial for creating modern, responsive, and offline-capable web applications.

This is part of our larger project to create a Vue.js DWA starter. See our main issue here for the full context and list of all related tasks.

🔑 Tasks and Acceptance Criteria

• Install and configure the Vue PWA plugin (@vue/cli-plugin-pwa)
• Create a manifest.json file with appropriate app information (name, icons, colors, etc.)
• Implement a service worker using Workbox (comes with Vue PWA plugin)
• Configure the service worker for offline caching of app assets and API responses
• Add appropriate meta tags for PWA in the index.html file
• Create and add required icons for various device sizes
• Implement an "Add to Home Screen" prompt for eligible devices
• Ensure the app works offline after initial load
• Test PWA features (offline functionality, installability) across different devices and browsers
• Implement a way to notify users when a new version of the app is available
