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 explored the importance of accessibility in web design and how to implement transitions that consider the preferences of users with vestibular disorders. By understanding the impact of motion-based animations on users with vestibular disorders, we can create more inclusive and user-friendly web applications.

We learned about the prefers-reduced-motion media query, which allows us to detect whether a user has indicated a preference for reduced motion in their system settings. Using this media query, we can adjust our transitions to be less motion-heavy or remove them altogether for users who prefer reduced motion.

We also discussed how to create custom transitions in Svelte for accessibility. We looked at an example of a custom transition, named accessibleFly, that switches between a fly and a fade transition, based on a user’s preferences for reduced motion. This custom transition is considerate of users with vestibular disorders while still...
