Simply Svelte

Simply Svelte is a quick-start template I've designed to speed up the development of my freelance projects. Realizing others might find it just as useful, I decided to share it. It comes equipped with a carefully selected range of packages, utilizing an opinionated tech stack to offer a streamlined and consistent development experience.

Tech Stack

• Svelte: A lightweight modern JavaScript framework for building user interfaces.
• Tailwind CSS: A highly customizable, low-level CSS framework that provides you with all the building blocks you need for bespoke designs.
• SASS: A robust CSS preprocessor used in conjunction with Tailwind to establish consistency across classes using mixins.
• TypeScript: A typed superset of JavaScript, adding static types for increased development safety.
• Vite: A next-generation front-end tool that offers a significant boost to your development experience.

The chosen tech stack is extremely versatile and can efficiently cater to projects of any size. However, I specifically find Svelte to be exceptional for small to medium-sized projects. The Simply Svelte template makes it easy to hit the ground running with a practical boilerplate that includes minimal yet logical SASS mixins and useful default components, such as form inputs, navbars, and footers.

Customizable & Versatile

Simply Svelte is easily customizable to your specific needs and adaptable to any file structure you prefer. It serves as a robust starting point for your project, accommodating your unique development patterns effortlessly.

Quick Start

To get started with Simply Svelte, clone the repository and install the dependencies:

git clone https://github.com/cwooldridge1/simply-svelte.git
cd simply-svelte
yarn install

Then, run the development server:

yarn dev

Consistent Color System

In this template, I've incorporated a Bootstrap-like color system (e.g., bg-success) to maintain visual consistency across your projects. If you'd like to modify the default colors, you can adjust them in both tailwind.config.js and _variables.scss.

Contributions

I wholeheartedly welcome contributions to the project! If you have suggestions, improvements, or bug fixes, please feel free to make a pull request or open an issue.

Simply Svelte is a labor of love designed to provide a fast and efficient way to kickstart your projects. It offers a hand-picked set of packages and a tech stack proven to be effective for small to medium-sized projects. I hope you find this template as useful as I do. I look forward to seeing what you build with it!
