Creating a Vite SvelteKit project

If you're seeing this, you've probably already done this step. Congrats!

# create a new project in the current directory
npm create vite@latest my-app

• Select Svelte as Framework and SvelteKit as variant

• Select Skeleton project as Svelte app template

• Select Yes, using TypeScript syntax

• Select Add ESLint for code linting and Add Prettier for code formatting

    cd my-test
    npm install

Developing

Once you've created a project and installed dependencies with npm install (or pnpm install or yarn), start a development server:

npm run dev

# or start the server and open the app in a new browser tab
npm run dev -- --open

Building

To create a production version of your app:

npm run build

You can preview the production build with npm run preview.

Installing Capacitor

npm i @capacitor/core @capacitor/cli
npx cap init

Fill

• Name: my-app
• Package Id: YOUR_PACKAGE_ID

Installing others Package

npm i @capacitor-community/sqlite @capacitor/toast @ionic/pwa-elements rxjs
npm i -D copyfiles rimraf

Package.json

Edit the scripts in the package.json file like below

   "scripts": {
       "dev": "npm run copy:sql:wasm && vite dev",
       "build:web": "npm run copy:sql:wasm && vite build",
       "build:native": "npm run remove:sql:wasm && vite build",
       "copy:sql:wasm": "copyfiles -u 3 node_modules/sql.js/dist/sql-wasm.wasm static/assets",
       "remove:sql:wasm": "rimraf static/assets/sql-wasm.wasm",
       "preview": "vite preview",
       "check": "svelte-kit sync && svelte-check --tsconfig ./tsconfig.json",
       "check:watch": "svelte-kit sync && svelte-check --tsconfig ./tsconfig.json --watch",
       "lint": "prettier --check . && eslint .",
       "format": "prettier --write ."
   }, 

Running on Web

npm run dev

• In the Home Page, select the menu icon and press on users.

• In the Users Page

  • Add some users in the Add User input field
  • The Current Users list will be updated
  • For each row in the list,
    • you can update the checkbox to tell id the user is active or not
    • delete the user on pressing on the trash icon

To see the database created

• open the Application tab of the browser tools
• a jeepSqliteStorehas been created in IndexedDB
• open it and select database folder
• database myuserdbSQLite.db has been created

Running Native

Package.json

Add the following scripts to the package.json file

"scripts": {
   ...

   "ios:start": "npm run remove:sql:wasm && npm run build:native && npx cap sync && npx cap copy && npx cap open ios",
   "android:start": "npm run remove:sql:wasm && npm run build:native && npx cap sync && npx cap copy && npx cap open android",
   "electron:install": "cd electron && npm install && cd ..",
   "electron:prepare": "npm run remove:sql:wasm && npm run build && npx cap sync @capacitor-community/electron && npx cap copy @capacitor-community/electron",
   "electron:start": "npm run electron:prepare && cd electron && npm run electron:start",
   ...
}

Update the svelte.config.js

Modify the adapter from adapter-auto to adaper-static too get an index.html file required by Capacitor during the build process.

npm i @sveltejs/adapter-static

The svelte.config.jsshould look like this

   import adapter from '@sveltejs/adapter-static';
   import { vitePreprocess } from '@sveltejs/vite-plugin-svelte';

   /** @type {import('@sveltejs/kit').Config} */
   const config = {
       // Consult https://kit.svelte.dev/docs/integrations#preprocessors
       // for more information about preprocessors
       preprocess: vitePreprocess(),

       kit: {
           // adapter-auto only supports some environments, see https://kit.svelte.dev/docs/adapter-auto for a list.
           // If your environment is not supported or you settled on a specific environment, switch out the adapter.
           // See https://kit.svelte.dev/docs/adapters for more information about adapters.
           adapter: adapter({
               fallback: 'index.html'
           }),
       }
   };

   export default config;

Update the capacitor.config.ts

Add the plugin parameters to the capacitor.congig.ts file

const config: CapacitorConfig = {
   appId: 'YOUR_APP_ID',
   appName: 'YOUR_APP_NAME',
   webDir: 'build',
/*    loggingBehavior: 'debug', */
   server: {
       androidScheme: "http"
   },
   plugins: {
       CapacitorSQLite: {
       iosDatabaseLocation: 'Library/CapacitorDatabase',
       iosIsEncryption: false,
       iosKeychainPrefix: 'ionic7-react-sqlite-app',
       iosBiometric: {
           biometricAuth: false,
           biometricTitle : "Biometric login for capacitor sqlite"
       },
       androidIsEncryption: false,
       androidBiometric: {
           biometricAuth : false,
           biometricTitle : "Biometric login for capacitor sqlite",
           biometricSubTitle : "Log in using your biometric"
       },
       electronIsEncryption: false,
       electronWindowsLocation: "C:\\ProgramData\\CapacitorDatabases",
       electronMacLocation: "/Volumes/Development_Lacie/Development/Databases",
       electronLinuxLocation: "Databases"
       }
   }
};

Add a +layout.ts File in the routes directory.

   export const ssr = false;
   export const prerender = false;
