Svelte 3 Up and Running

By: Alessandro Segala

Overview of this book

Svelte is a modern JavaScript framework used to build static web apps that are fast and lean, as well as being fun for developers to use. This book is a concise and practical introduction for those who are new to the Svelte framework which will have you up to speed with building apps quickly, and teach you how to use Svelte 3 to build apps that offer a great app user experience (UX). The book starts with an introduction to Svelte 3, before showing you how to set up your first complete application with the framework. Filled with code samples, each chapter will show you how to write components using the Svelte template syntax and the application programming interfaces (APIs) of the Svelte framework. As you advance, you’ll go from scaffolding your project and tool setup all the way through to production with DevOps principles such as automated testing, continuous integration, and continuous delivery (CI/CD). Finally, you’ll deploy your application in the cloud with object storage services and a content delivery network (CDN) for best-in-class performance for your users. By the end of this book, you’ll have learned how to build and deploy apps using Svelte 3 to solve real-world problems and deliver impressive results.

To get the most out of this book

To build the app described in this book using Svelte 3, you will need a PC or laptop running Windows (7 or higher), a recent version of macOS, or Linux (any commonly used distribution).

In Chapter 2, Scaffolding Your Svelte Project as we set up our tooling, we'll guide you through the installation of Node.js and optional tools such as Visual Studio Code.

While Svelte 3 officially requires Node.js 8 or higher, my recommendation is to use the latest Long-Term Support (LTS) version; at the time of writing, this is version 12.

If you're on Windows, whenever possible we recommend using Windows 10 and leverage the Windows Subsystem for Linux; we'll cover this in the book as well.

If you are using the digital version of this book, we advise you to type the code yourself or access the code via the GitHub repository (link available in the next section). Doing so will help you avoid any potential errors related to the copying and pasting of code.
