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.

Summary

In this chapter, we completed our application by adding a client-side router (and we learned about the two different kinds of routers and when each one is recommended).

We also implemented two tools that can help us build applications more confidently.

First, we added the Nightwatch.js framework to enable automated testing using a headless browser. Now that the framework is in place and you know how to run tests, writing them can be a fun exercise that we'll leave up to you.

Lastly, we added ESLint to enable the linting of our JavaScript code and Svelte components, so we can ensure that everyone in our team writes code that looks consistent, and debates such as putting a newline between if and { can be put to an end (maybe!).

In the next chapter, we'll look at how to bring our application to production publicly. We'll also look at setting up continuous delivery to complete our DevOps pipelines.
