svelte-typescript-jest-starter

I've gone through the pain of adding Jest and tweaking the Svelte-Typescript-Rollup configs so you don't have to!

This project was initially generated from sveltejs/template svelte-typescript-app, but that template didn't include testing or have any examples of Sass/SCSS working, so I added that.

There's also a lot of faffing around with using .js and .svelte files as imports in a .ts file that i've tried to sort out without any configuration (running and building work right now, tests still have issues with imports of .svelte modules from node_modules but i'm working on it)

I've retained the original instructions from the base svelte template (see below)

Get started

Install the dependencies...

cd svelte-app
npm install

...then start Rollup:

npm run dev

Navigate to localhost:5000. You should see your app running. Edit a component file in src, save it, and reload the page to see your changes.

By default, the server will only respond to requests from localhost. To allow connections from other computers, edit the sirv commands in package.json to include the option --host 0.0.0.0.

Building and running in production mode

To create an optimised version of the app:

npm run build

You can run the newly built app with npm run start. This uses sirv, which is included in your package.json's dependencies so that the app will work when you deploy to platforms like Heroku.

Single-page app mode

By default, sirv will only respond to requests that match files in public. This is to maximise compatibility with static fileservers, allowing you to deploy your app anywhere.

If you're building a single-page app (SPA) with multiple routes, sirv needs to be able to respond to requests for any path. You can make it so by editing the "start" command in package.json:

"start": "sirv public --single"

Deploying to the web

With Vercel

Install vercel if you haven't already:

npm install -g vercel

Then, from within your project folder:

cd public
vercel deploy --name my-project

With surge

Install surge if you haven't already:

npm install -g surge

Then, from within your project folder:

npm run build
surge public my-project.surge.sh
