Project status

This project is a starting point for applications using Svelte and October CMS. It also comes with support for Tailwind CSS, as this framework pairs beautifully with Svelte.

Notice: This is still experimental, be careful before taking it to production. In the future, we hope to provide deployment guides for the Laravel ecosystem with Forge and Envoyer.

Getting started

The first step to creating a Sveltober theme is to clone this repository into October's /themes directory.

git clone [email protected]:scottbedard/sveltober.git

Once this is done, run a yarn install from your new theme directory. After doing this, the following commands will be available.

# start webpack dev server
yarn dev

# build production assets
yarn build

Server side rendering and routing

This theme uses server side rendering, and as such requires a Node environment. With Laravel Homestead, and many other environments, it should already installed for you. All routes are pointed at the compiled index.htm, which feeds the request into our Svelte application. Our client-side application then hydates the DOM, and things behave as a SPA from then on.

If you'd like to opt-out of server side rendering, this can be achieved with the following steps.

  1. Remove the server config from webpack.config.js.
  2. In the client webpack config, set hydratable to false, and in /src/main.js set hydrate to false.
  3. Delete ssr.js, and the onStart and interpolation content from src/index.htm.

Routing is currently being handled by svelte-routing, see their readme for documentation. Out of the box, a few routes have are scaffolded for you to demonstrate the basic ideas. If you're using SSR, be aware that the order of your routes matter.
