SvelteKit Up and Running

By: Dylan Hildenbrand

Overview of this book

The JavaScript ecosystem has grown vast, complex, and daunting for newcomers. Fortunately, SvelteKit has emerged, simplifying the process of building JavaScript-based web applications. This book aims to demystify SvelteKit, making it as approachable as it makes web app development. With SvelteKit Up and Running you’ll be introduced to the philosophy and technologies underlying SvelteKit. First, you’ll follow a standard educational programming approach, progressing to a 'Hello World' application. Next, you’ll explore the fundamental routing techniques, data loading management, and user submission, all through real-world scenarios commonly encountered in day-to-day development, before discovering various adapters employed by SvelteKit to seamlessly integrate with diverse environments. You’ll also delve into advanced concepts like dynamic route management, error handling, and leveraging SvelteKit to optimize SEO and accessibility. By the end of this book, you’ll have mastered SvelteKit and will be well-equipped to navigate the complexities of web app development.

Summary

In this chapter, we covered an example use case of fetch and a two-part demonstration showing how URL and FormData can be used. While the examples presented here do not represent the full scope of the various Web APIs that you’ll have access to, they should illustrate how simple it is to use them with SvelteKit. If you’re hoping to build applications with SvelteKit, it’s important you become familiar with these modern Web APIs, as they’re used extensively throughout development with SvelteKit. SvelteKit encourages you to lean on that existing knowledge. By doing so, SvelteKit can ship less code to you so that you can ship less code to your users.

In the next chapter, we’ll move away from the background information that is necessary for using SvelteKit and start building something that resembles an application. We’ll cover various routing techniques and how you can build out a consistent user interface across the application.
