Svelte PostCSS Template

About

This is an opinionated nearly bare bones Svelte project template that uses PostCSS and related tools. The index.html and other portions have been pared down to bare bones. This should eliminate much of the desire or need to tinker with the public folder.

As well this project template expresses a strong opinion on HOW to use global settings. It provides a GlobalCss component that pulls in items such as global.css, and normalize.css. It also expresses the opinion that any and all modifications to the document head section happen within App.svelte by using the <svelte:head /> element. It's even used to set the application title.

Also, the project was created with a preference towards using an index.js within a named component folder for components. This allows you to keep all files related to the development of a single component in one place. As well if there are subcomponents used only in the creation of the main export, they will ideally live in the same folder with the main component.

This work is based heavily on the work done by the sveltejs team on github and others. Run the template app to see the full list.

Using this template

1. As a github template project you can just click the "Use This Template" button.
2. Run npx degit jason-c-daniels/svelte-postcss-template your-project-name
3. Download a zip of the master branch from github.
4. In the project folder run npm install to install the dependencies.

Where to go from here

You'll need to modify package.json and main.js with the actual name of your application. (main.js passes it to the App component) From there remove the default code and begin coding your own application.
