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.

Chapter 4: Putting Your App Together

We ended Chapter 3, Building Reactive Svelte Components, with seven Svelte components created for our app. We were able to test them individually and see the pieces of our project coming together. We still need to create three more components, including the views that put everything together and make navigation possible between the various parts of the app.

While creating the last components, we'll learn about managing cross-component state using Svelte stores. We'll also look at using Svelte's built-in animations to make transitions nicer between views. Lastly, we'll look into a few more features of Svelte 3 that are useful to know for building your own apps, even though we could not use them in our Proof-of-Concept project.

In this chapter, you'll learn about the following topics:

  • Managing cross-component state using Svelte stores.
  • Adding transitions to components.
  • We'll also lightly cover other...
