如何为 pwa 添加自定义安装按钮

Question

i want to add custom install button for my progressive web app within the site. i red many articles and tried the answer provided by them. they use beforeinstallprompt

let deferredPrompt;

window.addEventListener('beforeinstallprompt', (e) => {
    deferredPrompt = e;
});

but the problem i am facing is i want the button to directly installed the pwa instead of triggering the installation prompt. is it possible, if so how can i achieve that. thanks you in advance.

Answer 1

The answer is, you can't. According to the manifest spec :

By design, this specification does not provide developers with an explicit API to "install" a web application.

Answer 2

Try below code,

Step 1 - Create button or any controller

<button id="installApp">Install</button>

Step 2 - Add below js code in your scripts noy in serviceworker

let deferredPrompt;
    window.addEventListener('beforeinstallprompt', (e) => {
        deferredPrompt = e;
    });

    const installApp = document.getElementById('installApp');
    installApp.addEventListener('click', async () => {
        if (deferredPrompt !== null) {
            deferredPrompt.prompt();
            const { outcome } = await deferredPrompt.userChoice;
            if (outcome === 'accepted') {
                deferredPrompt = null;
            }
        }
    });
