ALC Web INT Challenge

*********** Project Title ************** HEadlines ********** PROJECT FEATURES ********** * Headline makes use of NewsAPI to get Latest News around the globe

* The Node API connects to NEWS API to get JSON data from NEWSAPI 

* The service worker, if installed intercepts all requests

* If page requested is on Cache, it is served from Cache, otherwise it is served from the node server and then cahed.

* If request url is an API call, and NEwsAPI is online, the Index Controller saves the data to the Index DB before displaying to the page

* Favourites list are saved and served from the Index DB

* If APP is offiline, request that are source-based that are in Index DB are served from the DB

* Because NewsAPI does not return "country" in its JSON, if the offline request is country based, all data from Index DB are served.


* The favourite button saves particular news to the favourite store in the NewsAPI Index DB 

* Also if the App is online but server cannot reach NEWSAPI, request that are source-based that are in Index DB are served from the DB
