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.

In the past three chapters, we’ve seen three different patterns and use cases of Svelte actions, creating custom events, integrating UI libraries, and progressive enhancements. What you can do with Svelte actions is not limited to the three different use cases that we’ve discussed so far, but hopefully, these patterns have opened your imagination and made you see what is possible with Svelte actions.

With that, we are moving on to the next part of the book. We will be exploring Svelte context and stores from Chapter 8 to Chapter 12, exploring their various use cases, such as in state...
