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.

Advanced layouts

The more complex the application, the more complex the structure becomes. To keep application logic organized we can utilize more advanced routing mechanisms such as layout groups and breakouts. By using layout groups, we can organize various layout components without cluttering the application URL. And by inserting simple syntax into pages and templates, we can break a layout or page out from its hierarchy while keeping the structure of our application intact.

Since we organize our application components into logical groupings, it makes sense to organize application functionality into logical groupings as well. To demonstrate using a real-world example, consider interface components that are available to logged-in users but not available to anonymous users. When logged in, users can interact with other users through comments, change their profile information, or view their own notifications. A user of the site that is not logged in should not see any of these components...
