New to PWAs? Unsure how to create a Web App? Check out these resources for a quick start: PWA Intro, PWA Starter, PWA Builder

Installation dialog for Progressive Web Application (PWA) and Add to Home Screen/Dock dialog for Web Apps. This offers an enhanced user experience and addresses the absence of native dialogs in certain browsers. 20kB brotli compressed bundle. Translation/localization is supported.

Use it as Web Component with any modern framework. No polyfill is required. React polyfill.

iOS default	Install instruction	App gallery

MacOS 14+ (Sonoma)	Install instruction

npm i @khmyznikov/pwa-install

Alternatively, you can use unpkg or esm.sh.

import '@khmyznikov/pwa-install';

<pwa-install></pwa-install>

React polyfill

<pwa-install
  manual-apple="true"
  manual-chrome="true"
  disable-chrome="true"
  disable-close="true"

  install-description="Custom call to install text"
  disable-install-description="true"
  disable-screenshots="true"

  manifest-url="/manifest.json"
  name="PWA"
  description="Progressive web application"         
  icon="/icon.png">
</pwa-install>
<!-- 
  manual-apple/chrome params means you want to show the Dialog manually by showDialog().
  disable-chrome param is for completely disabling custom logic and interception for Chominum browsers (will work built-in browser logic).

Make a good manifest file and don't use name/descr/icon params. Boolean attributes needs to be removed to act like "false"

• pwa-install-success-event
• pwa-install-fail-event
• pwa-install-available-event
• pwa-user-choice-result-event
• pwa-install-how-to-event
• pwa-install-gallery-event

<script type="text/javascript">
  var pwaInstall = document.getElementsByTagName('pwa-install')[0];

  pwaInstall.addEventListener('pwa-install-success-event', (event) => {console.log(event.detail.message)});
</script>

⚠️ success/fail/choice events is Chromium only, iOS don't have them.

• userChoiceResult: string;
• isDialogHidden: boolean
• isInstallAvailable: boolean
• isAppleMobilePlatform: boolean
• isAppleDesktopPlatform: boolean
• isUnderStandaloneMode: boolean
• isRelatedAppsInstalled: boolean

<script type="text/javascript">
  var pwaInstall = document.getElementsByTagName('pwa-install')[0];

  console.log(pwaInstall.isUnderStandaloneMode);
</script>

• install
• hideDialog
• showDialog
• getInstalledRelatedApps: async

<script type="text/javascript">
  var pwaInstall = document.getElementsByTagName('pwa-install')[0];

  pwaInstall.install();
</script>

getInstalledRelatedApps is Chromium only, always empty on iOS.

If you need to target Chromium browsers but you want to postpone component mounting, you can do it! But, need to capture beforeinstallprompt manually and pass it to the component's externalPromptEvent property(not attribute).

// capture event asap, better right in index.html script tag
window.addEventListener('beforeinstallprompt', (e) => {
  e.preventDefault();
  e.stopPropagation();
  e.stopImmediatePropagation();

  // save it somewhere
  window.promptEvent = e;
});

// later render the component on demand and pass event
document.getElementById("pwa-install").externalPromptEvent = window.promptEvent;
