Advent of Svelte Compare
This project is created to compare and contrast working with Svelte and React as I go through the challenges of Advent of Svelte (2023).
Project Outline
This is a monorepo using Turborepo.
There are three main apps:
- apps/sveltekit: SvelteKit project, the primary app for my Svelte solutions
- apps/nextjs: NextJS project, primary app for React solutions
- apps/astro: Astro project, will hold both Svelte and React components, good for quick compare and contrast.
There are two main components:
- components/svelte: Where Svelte components will go
- components/react: Where React components will go
Hypothesis
The goal of this project is to figure out how true a common complaint of Svelte 5 is, which is that it is basically/feels like React now. I am curious if this sentiment is warrented
TODO
Bias
I have used Svelte 4 in the past occasionally, but not to the extent of working heavily working with it in SvelteKit (most of the work was as a static site app). I have used Svelte 5 primarily with Astro, so I don't know how much has changed with SvelteKit with respect to Svelte 5. I don't have much React knowledge beyond looking at some JSX.
Libraries used
