How to create a vue app that has add to desktop feature enabled?-CodePudding

I want to create a vue application in which I want the application to have the add to desktop option.

Like the one near the share option of youtube here. Any Idea on how to do this?

Chrome displays this for a Progressive Web App, which will be detected via the presence of a manifest.json file.

To add the "add to desktop" feature to a Vue.js application, you can use the add-to-homescreen package. Here's an example of how to use this package:

1- Install the add-to-homescreen package by running this command in your terminal:

npm install add-to-homescreen

2- Import the addToHomescreen function from the add-to-homescreen package in your Vue component:

import { addToHomescreen } from 'add-to-homescreen';

3- Call the addToHomescreen function when you want to prompt the user to add the app to their home screen. For example, you can call it when the user clicks on a button:

<template>
  <button @click="addToHomeScreen">Add to home screen</button>
</template>

<script>
export default {
  methods: {
    addToHomeScreen() {
      addToHomescreen();
    }
  }
}
</script>

This will prompt the user to add the app to their home screen. Keep in mind that this feature only works on mobile devices, and the user will only be prompted to add the app to their home screen if they meet certain criteria (such as visiting the site multiple times).
