## The idea behind the example

You'll often want your Service Worker to be registered at the root level to give it access to your whole application.

This example shows how this can be achieved alongside [sw-precache](https://github.com/GoogleChrome/sw-precache) (via [the webpack plugin](https://github.com/goldhand/sw-precache-webpack-plugin)).
