SvelteKit Online Store

This is an online store based on the SvelteKit is a powerful web development framework built on Svelte and Vite, designed for speed and simplicity.

Svelte allows us to create lightweight, modern web applications with highly optimized JavaScript. It is not a framework; it is a compiler. Svelte takes your code as input and uses it to generate vanilla JavaScript by compiling it during the build process into a single vanilla JavaScript bundle. This eliminates the need for a library like most other front-end frameworks. This means we are shipping the smallest amount of code possible code that is not only small in size but also super-efficient. This makes Svelte faster than most other front-end frameworks. Svelte also enables us to achieve true reactivity in our apps.

Most other JavaScript frameworks rely on APIs to detect when data changes to update the virtual DOM, meaning their reactivity is tied to it. However, Svelte does not use a virtual DOM. Instead, it writes code that updates the DOM whenever the state in the app changes, allowing us to achieve true reactivity. Svelte itself is just the UI layer. It allows us to write code that is compiled into browser-readable JavaScript. What it does not do are things like routing, for which we would need to use a third-party router. It also does not support server-side rendering (SSR). All of our Svelte code is only available on the client, which is not necessarily ideal for SEO. This is where SvelteKit comes in handy. It provides us with a built-in route, server-side rendering, code splitting, and many other features that not only improve performance but also enhance the developer experience.

As a cloud-based database, MongoDB is used with Prisma ORM.

Stripe payment service (test mode) is integrated into the app, allowing you to make purchases with test card numbers and view all transactions on Stripe's Payments panel.
