service worker cacheing breaking google maps api

Im having trouble getting my progressive web app to work. I need to prevent it from caching the google maps api. I've tried to make it so it won't cache anything outside the domain but cant seem to figure it out.

cacheId = cacheIdRelace;
staticCache = "static-" + cacheId;
dynamicCache = "dynamic-" + cacheId;

self.addEventListener('install', function(event) {
  console.log('[Service Worker] Installing Service Worker ...', event);
  self.skipWaiting();
  event.waitUntil(
    caches.open(staticCache).then(function(cache) {
      cache.addAll(['/', '/index.html','offline/index.html', '/manifest.json', '/style/main.css']);
    })
  );
});

self.addEventListener('activate', evt => {
  console.log('[Service Worker] Activating Service Worker ....');
  evt.waitUntil(
    caches.keys().then (keys =>{
      //console.log(keys);
      return Promise.all(keys
        .filter(key => key !== staticCache && key !== dynamicCache)
        .map(key => caches.delete(key))
      )
    })
  )
});

self.addEventListener('fetch', evt => {
  evt.respondWith(
    caches.match(evt.request).then(cacheRes => {
      return cacheRes || fetch(evt.request).then(fetchRes => {
        return caches.open(dynamicCache).then(cache => {
          if ((evt.request.url).includes(window.location.host)) {
            cache.put(evt.request.url, fetchRes.clone());
          }
          fetchRes.clone()
          return fetchRes
        })
      });
    }).catch(() => caches.match('/offline/'))
  );
});

I added the following statement in to try to prevent it from caching anything outsite the local domain but I've done something wrong and it just throws fetch errors.

if ((evt.request.url).includes(window.location.host)) {

You should check for the url and fetch from server if it is the google api:

self.addEventListener('fetch', function (event) {
    // no caching google api
    if (event.request.url.indexOf('maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/') > -1) {
        event.respondWith(
            fetch(event.request).then(
                function (response) {
                    // Check if we received a valid response
                    if (!response) {
                        console.error("fetch eventhandler error: no response");
                        return Response.error();
                    }
                    if (!response.ok) {
                        console.warn("fetch eventhandler warning: status=", response.status, response.type);
                        return response;
                    }
                    // ok
                    return response;
                }).catch(function () {
                  // failed access
                  console.error("fetch eventhandler error");
                  return Response.error();
            }))
    } else {
        event.respondWith(
            caches.match(event.request).then(cacheRes => {
                return cacheRes || fetch(event.request).then(fetchRes => {
                    return caches.open(dynamicCache).then(cache => {
                        if ((event.request.url).includes(window.location.host)) {
                            cache.put(event.request.url, fetchRes.clone());
                        }
                        fetchRes.clone()
                        return fetchRes
                    })
                });
            }).catch(() => caches.match('/offline/'))
        );
    }
});

@nechoj code sniped works perfectly. Just modified it a bit to only cache assets that are on the same domain.

self.addEventListener('fetch', function (event) {
    // no caching google api
    if (!(event.request.url.indexOf(self.location.host) > -1)) {
        event.respondWith(
            fetch(event.request).then(
                function (response) {
                    // Check if we received a valid response
                    if (!response) {
                        console.error("fetch eventhandler error: no response");
                        return Response.error();
                    }
                    if (!response.ok) {
                        console.warn("fetch eventhandler warning: status=", response.status, response.type);
                        return response;
                    }
                    // ok
                    return response;
                }).catch(function () {
                  // failed access
                  console.error("fetch eventhandler error");
                  return Response.error();
            }))
    } else {
        event.respondWith(
            caches.match(event.request).then(cacheRes => {
                return cacheRes || fetch(event.request).then(fetchRes => {
                    return caches.open(dynamicCache).then(cache => {
                        cache.put(event.request.url, fetchRes.clone());
                        return fetchRes
                    })
                });
            }).catch(() => caches.match('/offline/'))
        );
    }
});
