Workshop Outline

Module 1: Svelte and SvelteKit

Learn about the relationship between Svelte and SvelteKit, what SvelteKit brings to the table.

In this module we will cover:

• Svelte and SvelteKit
• Setting up a new SvelteKit application for development

Module 2: Routing

SvelteKit provides robust filesystem-based routing for your application.

In this module we’ll learn about:

• SvelteKit’s directory driven filesystem-based router
• Loading data for SvelteKit pages
• SvelteKit’s Layouts and Error Pages

Module 3: Even more Routing

To be as flexible as possible, SvelteKit provides many routing features so you can create the URL structure you need

• Rest params, optional params and breaking out of layouts
• Routing Matchers
• Route Priority

Module 4: Server Side Svelte

SvelteKit allows you to restrict and isolate code to only ever be run on the server, never exposing it to the client. With that understanding we will learn about:

• Using Secrets and Environment Variables
• Creating API endpoints
• SvelteKit Hooks

Module 5: Forms

SvelteKit’s approach to forms and data mutation is simple: use the platform, then progressively enhance the experience. To facilitate that we will explore:

• Handling for submissions with SvelteKit Actions
• Enhancing forms with JavaScript on the client

Module 6: Deployment

SvelteKit offers many options for how to build your site for production all the way down to the page level. In this module we’ll discuss:

• SvelteKits Page Options
• Adapters

[Course Prerequisites]

• Computer with internet access
• A microphone and a webcam
• An IDE of choice (we will be using Visual Studio Code)
• Version 16+ or newer of Node installed on your computer
• Basic understanding of HTML and CSS
• Good understanding of JavaScript / TypeScript (all the examples will be in Typescript)
• Previous Knowledge of Svelte - the component framework SvelteKit is built on top of - is recommended
