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.

State Management with Svelte Stores

Every user interface control has a state. A checkbox has a checked-unchecked state. A textbox’s state is its current input value. A table’s state is the data displayed and the columns currently being sorted. Sometimes when you have multiple user interface controls present across the screen at the same time, you need to synchronize the state across them—this is where state management comes in.

In this chapter, we are going to discuss managing states in Svelte using Svelte stores. We will start with why we should use Svelte stores, and then discuss tips that will help you when using Svelte stores for state management.

Next, we will go into the topic of using state management libraries. We will talk about why and how to use them. With that, we will be going through a few examples of integrating third-party state management libraries into Svelte through Svelte stores.
