Unlikely to continue with the project using Svelte.
About
- A project to familiarize myself with Svelte and Hono.
- Based on an Aalto OpenCS course materials.
- Extended to use TypeScript.
- Departing from the course materials by making changes to the Hono backend based on Hono best practices (no controllers).
- Added JSON data validation with Zod.
Run
- Requires Docker Desktop. Or Docker CLI and compose plugin.
- Once project dependencies are installed with Deno:
docker compose up --build --watch
What I've learned so far
- Code formatting Svelte using Prettier + Svelete VSC plugin, is at the time of writing this, broken. Reduced development experience. Biome does not have full-fledged support for formatting Svelte either.
- SvelteKit file-based routing works nicely. Overall appears less cumbersome when compared to Tanstack Router. Though using route params feels convoluted, having to use a loader file for them.
- Hono feels very Express-like. Nothing bad to say about it.
Todo
- Finish course materials, about 50% done.
- Change from SvelteKit to React using Tantack Router/Start.
- Hook up the frontend to the backend.
- Test out some ORM in the backend for querying DB and handling migrations over raw SQL and manual migrations with Flyway.
- Style the frontend.
- Building and deploying. Maybe Deno Deploy.
