Build an Env Var file for your service workers
/*
By default, service workers cannot access our Vue environment variables.
To allow this, this script collects the variables we want at build time
and places them in a JS file that the service worker can access.
To prevent the leak of sensitive credentials (the SW file is public),
only whitelisted environment variables are built into this file.
Deploy this file alongside your service worker, and import th efile in your service worker (`importScripts('swenv.js');` in Workbox)
