Here is an example from the main script:

js
// reference registration
const registration = await navigator.serviceWorker.ready;

if ("index" in registration) {
  // Content Index API functionality
  const contentIndex = registration.index;
}

From the service worker:

js
// service worker script

const contentIndex = self.registration.index;
