consequences of changing a Service Worker directory?

as you might already know, you should put your service workers inside the base directory so that it has the scope of the whole project, otherwise some features (e.g. navigator.serviceWorker.ready()) won't be available.

My problem is that I've initially put my service worker inside a directory and now I feel kinda trapped.

I use the service worker to register and handle web push notifications and I'm wondering if I would lose all my current subscriptions if I move it to the base directory

N.B. It's mandatory that the service worker registered will remain the same, no new service worker should be registered

If you don't want to move your service worker in base directory. You can use "Service-Worker-Allowed" header in your response. If this header is present then your service worker will be registered even if your sw.js file is in nested directory.

Service-Worker-Allowed header '/'

here the the official documentation regarding this header.
