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.

Accessibility with Transitions

In the past two chapters, we learned how to use transitions in Svelte. Transitions, when used correctly, can enhance the user experience, guiding a user’s attention, providing feedback, and adding a layer of polish to the interface. However, for users with vestibular disorders, these animations can be uncomfortable or even debilitating. Therefore, it is essential to strike a balance between creating engaging animations and ensuring that they do not negatively impact users with specific needs.

In this chapter, we will dive into the techniques available to make web transition more accessible for users with a vestibular disorder, exploring CSS and JavaScript approaches to respect a user’s preferences regarding motion.

By the end of this chapter, you will have a better understanding of web accessibility and how to create more inclusive web applications that cater to all users, regardless of their specific needs or preferences.
