6. Add service worker for caching

## Database Considerations

### New Tables Needed

```sql
-- Cart items (if not exists)
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS cart (
  cartid SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
  userid INT REFERENCES users(userid),
  productid INT REFERENCES products(productid),
  quantity INT DEFAULT 1,
  createdat TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
);

-- Wishlist items (if not exists)
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS wishlist (
  wishlistid SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
  userid INT REFERENCES users(userid),
  productid INT REFERENCES products(productid),
  createdat TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
);

-- Product reviews
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS reviews (
  reviewid SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
  productid INT REFERENCES products(productid),
  userid INT REFERENCES users(userid),
  rating INT CHECK (rating >= 1 AND rating <= 5),
  title VARCHAR(200),
  comment TEXT,
  createdat TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
);

-- Orders
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS orders (
  orderid SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
  userid INT REFERENCES users(userid),
  total DECIMAL(10, 2),
  status VARCHAR(50) DEFAULT 'pending',
  createdat TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
);

-- Order items
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS orderitems (
  orderitemid SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
  orderid INT REFERENCES orders(orderid),
  productid INT REFERENCES products(productid),
  quantity INT,
  price DECIMAL(10, 2)
);
```
