Overview of this book

Svelte has quickly become a popular choice among developers seeking to build fast, responsive, and efficient web applications that are high-performing, scalable, and visually stunning. This book goes beyond the basics to help you thoroughly explore the core concepts that make Svelte stand out among other frameworks. You’ll begin by gaining a clear understanding of lifecycle functions, reusable hooks, and various styling options such as Tailwind CSS and CSS variables. Next, you’ll find out how to effectively manage the state, props, and bindings and explore component patterns for better organization. You’ll also discover how to create patterns using actions, demonstrate custom events, integrate vanilla JS UI libraries, and progressively enhance UI elements. As you advance, you’ll delve into state management with context and stores, implement custom stores, handle complex data, and manage states effectively, along with creating renderless components for specialized functionalities and learning animations with tweened and spring stores. The concluding chapters will help you focus on enhancing UI elements with transitions while covering accessibility considerations. By the end of this book, you’ll be equipped to unlock Svelte's full potential, build exceptional web applications, and deliver performant, responsive, and inclusive user experiences.

Summary

In this chapter, we looked at three different examples and learned three different techniques with a Svelte store.

We explored how to turn any user events into a data source for a Svelte store, learned how to create a Svelte store from scratch, and also learned how to use the built-in readable() function to make the process much simpler.

After that, we explored making a custom Svelte store with additional methods, building a new Svelte store based on the built-in writable store.

Lastly, we learned to create a higher-order store, a function that takes in a Svelte store and returns an enhanced version of the input store. In the example, we see how we can turn any Svelte store into a debounced version of itself.

By understanding these techniques, you’re now equipped to manage state in Svelte more effectively to craft more scalable and maintainable applications.

In the next chapter, we will look at state management in Svelte—namely, how to do state...
