Star Tribune Svelte + Vite Template

This is a template for building Svelte apps at the Star Tribune. It uses Svelte 5; See the migration guide.

Runes mode is not turned on by default in the template; to enable it, add a svelte.config.js file to the root with the following:

export default {
    compilerOptions: {
        runes: true
    }
};

Starting a project

To start a new project based on this template, run

npx degit striblab/strib-svelte-vite-template#main name-of-your-new-project
cd name-of-your-new-project
npm install

Development

To run the dev server run npm run dev.

To build for deployment, run npm run build.

Strib webfonts

Manually place your font folders in the directory public/fonts/ to render them on the page. These local fonts will be included in the build and deploy processes until a CORS policy issue can be resolved on static.startribune.com.

Deploying

Deployment is currently handled by a shell script (strib-deploy.sh). You need to have the AWS CLI installed with credentials for the static.startribune.com bucket using the 'default' profile.

To deploy to staging, run npm run deploy-staging. For production, run npm run deploy-production. This will upload to a typical path using your project's name, which is read from the root directory of your project (where package.json is located).
