Installation

To get started, clone the repository and install the dependencies:

git clone https://github.com/bchainhub/dapp-sveltekit-boilerplate.git
cd dapp-sveltekit-boilerplate
npm install

Usage

Start the development server:

npm run dev

Build the project for production:

npm run build

Preview the production build:

npm run preview

Configuration

Update the site.config.ts file located in /src to customize the project settings.

You can customize application settings in wrangler.toml file:

  • AUTH_SECRET: Secret key for authentication.
  • LOGIN_MAX_AGE: Login expiration time. Default is 24 hours (86400).
  • DB_INIT: Enable the functionality to initialize the database using token value. Append tk to the URL to define custom token. (Example: …?tk=yourtoken).
  • NODE_VERSION: Node.js version.

Environment variables are stored in the .env file. You can add your own environment variables to this file.

  • CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID: Cloudflare account ID.
  • CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN: Cloudflare API token.
  • ENABLE_API: Enable or disable the API.
  • ENABLE_AUTH: Enable or disable authentication.
  • REG_COREID: Valid Core ID for WebAuthn provider registration. Default is true.
  • VERIFIED_ONLY: Enable or disable only verified users. This prevents not KYC verified users to register.
  • VERIFIED_EXPIRATION_DAYS: Verified expiration time. (Value in days).
  • ENABLE_FILE_ACCESS: Enable or disable file access.
  • KV_NAME: Cloudflare KV namespace name.
  • R2_NAME: Cloudflare R2 namespace name.
  • PASSKEY_DURATION: Passkey expiration time. Default is 2 minutes (120000).
  • CAPTURE_COUNTRY: Capture country from CF pages, Netlify, Vercel. If enabled.
  • CAPTURE_CITY: Capture city from CF pages, Netlify, Vercel. If enabled.

Environment variables for database setup:

  • DB_TYPE: Database type: D1, PRISMA. Default is no database (empty string).
  • DB_NAME: Database name.
  • PRISMA_PROVIDER: Prisma provider.
  • PRISMA_API_KEY: Prisma API key.

Generate the authentication secret key, cleaning token, JWT secret in secure way or using the following command:

openssl rand -base64 33

API

Api is disabled by default. You can enable it by setting ENABLE_API=true in the .env filed. If you don't need the API, you can remove the functions/ directory. It is good practice to disable the API in production environment if you don't need it as well as removing the folder.

Api is using Hono API framework. You can find more information in the Hono API documentation.

Api is versioned and the version is defined in the functions/api/${version}/ folder, where ${version} is the number of version. It is good practice to divide the versions in the folders.

Styling

The project uses TailwindCSS for styling. You can customize the styles by editing the tailwind.config.js file.

Custom styles and variables are defined in the src/css directory. You can use customization tool to edit variables. We are using prefix skc for custom classes.

You can use tool to generate TailwindCSS colors: TailwindCSS Color Generator or TailwindCSS Color Shades.

Connection to D1

You can connect your application to Cloudflare D1 by setting the DB_NAME variable in the .env file. You can find the D1 namespace in the Cloudflare dashboard and bind it with your DB_NAME setup.

Make sure the wrangler.toml file is properly configured with the correct DB binding information.

Connection to KV

You can connect your application to Cloudflare KV by setting the KV_NAME variable in the .env file. You can find the KV namespace in the Cloudflare dashboard and bind it with your KV_NAME setup.

Make sure the wrangler.toml file is properly configured with the correct KV binding information.

Connection to R2

You can connect your application to Cloudflare R2 by setting the R2_NAME variable in the .env file or dashboard. You can find the R2 namespace in the Cloudflare dashboard and bind it with your R2_NAME setup.

Make sure the wrangler.toml file is properly configured with the correct R2 binding information.

Deployment

Deploying your SvelteKit application on Cloudflare Pages is straightforward.

You can follow Cloudflare dashboard deployment or use Wrangler CLI for deployment.

Follow these steps to get started with Wrangler CLI:

Step 1: Install Wrangler CLI

First, ensure that you have the Wrangler CLI installed. If you don't have it installed, you can install it using npm:

npm install -g wrangler

Step 2: Authenticate Wrangler

Next, authenticate Wrangler with your Cloudflare account:

wrangler login

Step 3: wrangler.toml Configuration

In your project root, you have a wrangler.toml file that contains the configuration for deploying your application.

Customize the configuration to match your project settings.

Step 4: Specify Node.js Version

Default Node.js version is 20 (Iron LTS). You can specify a different version in the package.json and wrangler.toml file.

Step 5: Deploy the Application

To deploy your application, run:

wrangler pages publish ./build

Additional Information

For more details on configuring and using Wrangler with Cloudflare Pages, visit the official Wrangler documentation.

Cloudflare deployment using dashboard

  1. Create a new Pages project in the Cloudflare dashboard.
  2. Connect the project to your GitHub repository.
  3. Configure the build settings.
  4. Deploy the project.

Authentication

The project uses Auth.js for authentication together with Passkey & CorePass.

Dependencies:

  • Cloudflare D1 database.
  • DB initialization process.
  • Node.js version 20.9.0 or higher.
  • CorePass if you would like to use Pipe - activation model.

Before first run of your application you need to:

  • Create a new database.
  • Set the DB name DB_NAME in the wrangler.toml file or dashboard.
  • Initialize the database with enabling DB_INIT=yourtoken in the wrangler.toml file or dashboard.
  • Load the url: yoururl.com/db/init?tk=yourtoken to initialize the seeding.
  • Set the DB_INIT=false in the wrangler.toml file or dashboard. This is important to disable db initialization.

Security

There is difference between access local environment variables and environment variables in Cloudflare.

Key points:

  • Separate Management Systems: The environment variables for Cloudflare Workers and SvelteKit are managed separately and do not overlap. platform.env in Cloudflare Workers is not directly accessible to SvelteKit components or server-side logic.
  • Deployment Context: When using SvelteKit, the environment variables accessed via import { env } from '$env/dynamic/private'; are provided by the deployment environment's configuration. These could come from services like Vercel, Netlify, or other hosting providers that support environment variable management.
  • No Cross-Access: SvelteKit does not have a built-in mechanism to directly access Cloudflare Workers' environment variables set via wrangler.toml. Similarly, Cloudflare Workers cannot directly access environment variables set up for a SvelteKit deployment.

About Platform Environment Variables:

  • Platform environment variables are stored in the wrangler.toml file.
  • These variables are accessible in server-side code except those that are prefixed with PUBLIC_.

Local environment variables

We can access local environment variables using the env function. This function is used to read the environment variables from the .env file. Any value is returned as string.

import { env } from '$env/dynamic/private';
const secret = env.SECRET;

This is SvelteKit way of reading the environment variables.

Cloudflare environment variables

We have helper function genv to read Cloudflare's environment variables. This function is used to read the environment variables directly from Cloudflare instead of the classic .env variables. true and false (not case sensitive) is returned as boolean value, all other values are returned as string.

import { genv } from from '$lib/helpers/genv';
const secret = genv(platform).SECRET;

Management API

DB / Initialize

  • Initialize the database.

GET /db/init
