Description

I know this is specific to web workers, however I think this could be adapted to work for service workers. I was looking to create a separate plugin but the code would be mostly the same.

Looks like it scans the AST for a keyword (Worker) and generates an entry for the referenced file.

// web worker
new Worker('./foo.js', { type: 'module' })

// service worker
navigator.serviceWorker.register('./foo.js', { type: 'module' })

Could it be adapted to be more generic or am I missing something specific this does for web workers?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Analyze the current AST scanning for Worker constructor and extend to also detect navigator.serviceWorker.register calls. Ensure bundled code works for service workers.
