Svelte Startup
Svelte Startup
This repository contains some Svelte applications for cybernatically enhanced web applications.
Getting Started
First you have to make sure that you have node.js installed on your computer together with the package manager. In my case i will use yarn but feel free to use the package manager that you want like npm. For the code editor i will be using VSCode so first thing that i will do is to download the Svelte extenstion for VSCode and install i. I will download an extenstion called "Svelte for VS Code" After installing it go to the settings and edit the settings.json and add the following to the .json file:
"[svelte]": {
"editor.defaultFormatter": "svelte.svelte-vscode"
}
After you have done that you need to reload the window.
To create a new svelte application you wll run the following command:
yarn create svelte 01_GETTING_STARTED
# npm
npm create svelte 01_GETTING_STARTED
Then you need to answer some couple of questions then next you need to run the following commands:
cd 01_GETTING_STARTED
# yarn
yarn
yarn run dev
# npm
npm install
npm run dev
Then a svelte application will be running on port 3000 and can be accessed at http://localhost:3000/.
We will be working mostly in the src folder where there's a routes folder by default. Like in next.js a file name is a page router in this folder. So for a home page / a file name is index.svelte
In a svelte file we will have the following structure
<script lang="ts">
console.log("Hello world")
</script>
<!-- html content goes here -->
<h1>Hello world</h1>
<style>
</style>
Layout
In svelte we can create a file called __layout.svelte in the routes folder. This is where our common layout components will stay. This is also a good place to import our global.css file. The __layout.svelte file may look as follows in svelte.
<script>
import "../styles/global.css";
import Footer from "../components/Footer.svelte";
import Nav from "../components/Nav.svelte";
</script>
<svelte:head>
<title>My app</title>
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
</svelte:head>
<Nav />
<slot />
<Footer />
So the rest of the code from the pages will leave in the <slot/>.
