Workbox Build Module

Workbox-build is a core module within the Workbox library, designed to integrate seamlessly into JavaScript build processes to facilitate the generation of precache manifests for service workers. Currently at version 7.4.0, this package focuses on the programmatic creation of a list of URLs and their revision details, which `workbox-sw` can then use to precache assets, enabling offline capabilities for web applications. Releases in the 7.x series have primarily focused on critical dependency updates and maintaining compatibility, with v7.0.0 notably raising the minimum Node.js requirement to version 16, and the latest versions further increasing it to Node.js >=20.0.0. It offers functions like `generateSW` for a complete service worker lifecycle management and `injectManifest` for greater customization, distinguishing itself by providing a robust, opinionated, yet flexible way to manage asset caching without direct reliance on specific bundlers, unlike `workbox-webpack-plugin` which is specifically for Webpack. Its steady release cadence primarily addresses security and dependency maintenance.
