bases VS SvelteKit

We will install ready-to-use Typescript base configurations instead of starting from scratch. In this article, we will use Typescript base configurations for node version 20. If you are using a different version of node, visit the tsconfig bases docs to find out what you need. You can also create a Typescript configuration file with settings that work for you.

This Visual Studio Code extension simplifies the process of selecting and applying TypeScript configuration files (`tsconfig.json`) from the https://github.com/tsconfig/bases repository. With this extension, you can effortlessly browse through available configuration

Steal from this repo: https://github.com/tsconfig/bases/blob/main/bases/next.json

I personally am a big advocate for writing the least amount of tsconfig possible, and the tsconfig/bases package serves as a great source for getting tsconfig templates.

Possibly depends on your tsconfig. We use the recommended base configs from here https://github.com/tsconfig/bases

A tsconfig.json preset that ensures type safety;

The same configuration is also available for other nodejs versions like 14 and 12.

After installing, we also need to set up a basic tsconfig.json file for how we want tsc to behave with our app. We will use one of the recommended tsconfig files here: https://github.com/tsconfig/bases#centralized-recommendations-for-tsconfig-bases. This contains a list of community recommended configs depending on your app type. We’re using Node 16 and want to be extremely strict on the first pass to clean up any bad code habits and enforce some consistency. We’ll use the one located: https://github.com/tsconfig/bases/blob/main/bases/node16-strictest.combined.json.

You'll need @typescript-eslint/parser to get it working with eslint, then I would add @typescript-eslint/recommended as a plugin, then add prettier-eslint for formatting. What's more important is having a really good tsconfig file, I would recommend extending something from https://github.com/tsconfig/bases

The above configuration file extends the base configuration provided by the TypeScript team for Node.js v16. Additional options or overrides may be included through the compilerOptions property. It also specifies that all the files in the src directory should be included in the program, but everything in the node_modules directory is skipped entirely. Both the include and exclude properties support glob patterns.

Svelte Kit for the fullstack framework It has first class support for Cloudflare Pages Svelte is a very elegant framework, and Svelte Kit is a very good meta-framework for Svelte. Svelte was probably the reason that…

This AI-powered Story Card Maker is built as a SvelteKit application with Typescript. Using Flowbite Svelte component library, the whole application was laid out. The layout for the Story Card (emulating the size of a postcard - 4" x 3") is created as an HTML Canvas using Fabric.js.

These adapters, for example, were built by the community: https://github.com/sveltejs/kit/tree/master/packages/adapter-vercel https://github.com/nuxt/vercel-builder If somebody builds a working one for Angular Universal, we will gladly add it to our Framework Presets → https://vercel.com/docs/concepts/deployments/build-step#framework-preset.

UPDATE: If you liked this project and are curious to see what it might look like as a SvelteKit app, check out this blog post by Tim Smith where he converts this existing app over.

I've played around with several platforms in the last year or so. I've landed on the following setup that works very well for me and ticks all your boxes:

A SvelteKit[0] app hosted on Cloudflare pages. The repo is hosted on GitHub and hooked up to the Cloudflare Pages app [1]. On PRs, I get preview environments. On merge, the changes get deployed to my "production" website. I write blog posts and other content in markdown, which is then processed by mdsvex[2] with very minimal setup.

Mostly, my requirements were more focused around getting the actual framework, hosting, etc. out of my way so that I could focus on writing. Gatsby and Next.js were too configuration heavy and turned me off once I scratched beyond the surface.

Behind the scenes is a simple Sveltekit-powered server function to fetch a Spotify client token then find a user's recommendation playlist and its track information. A Deno edge function to performs this data fetch and renders server-side Svelte.

It’s 2024, and you are about to start a new project. Do you reach for React, a framework you know and love or do you look at one of the other hot new frameworks like Astro, Enhance, 11ty, SvelteKit or gasp, plain vanilla Web Components?

From part 0 to part 4, we built out CryptoFlow's backend service. Though we can quickly use Postman, VS Code's ThunderClient or automated tests to see the endpoints working easily, this isn't all we want. We want to actively interact with the backend service via some intuitive user interface. Also, a layman wouldn't be able to "consume" the service we've built in the last parts. This article introduces building out the user interface of the system. We will be using SvelteKit, a framework that streamlines web development, and TailwindCSS, the utility-first CSS framework. Let's dig in!
