component-template VS svelte-material-ui

Reason I'm asking is that the official component template has a build step that compiles it to pure js. But I just tried publishing it with no build step (so literally just button.svelte, index.mjs and package.json and it seems to work fine.

But what would it be like to build your own Svelte component library? Fortunately, there are several templates that you could start with, like the official template provided by Svelte and Svelte 3 Component Template, which are considered the go-to for building your own component library.

My question is: is there a good up-to-date Tailwind, Svelte, Storybook template out there? The one on Github is pretty old and was abandoned 5+ months ago. With the pace of change, I'm worried I'd bump into legacy bugs. I'm confused as to where to start because Svelte has an official component-template but its 10 months old. Also, which bundler is the best for a newbie? Lastly, should I use svelte-add or is there a more stable solution out there with support for Storybook?

The official component template still has an open issue pertaining typescript support, and there's several templates linked there. Given that time is a rare resource, and given that I frankly don't trust myself to make the right decision here up-front, I'd be interested in your thoughts and experiences. Are there trade-offs in the available TS templates? Or does one of them basically tick all the boxes already? If so, why is there no endorsed official TS template?

🌟 UI Libraries Svelte Material UI: Material design components for Svelte.

Svelte Material UI is one of the oldest libraries for Svelte and it offers a decent collection of UI components with Google-inspired Material Design. This library also provides actions for a wide variety of interface elements and helper utilities for building custom and advanced UI components. The specialty of this library is that you need to install each component separately. Theming is done with Sass or with CSS variables.

Sveltematerialui (SMUI): GitHub: https://github.com/hperrin/svelte-material-ui SMUI is a Svelte wrapper for Material-UI, which is one of the most popular Material Design libraries. It provides a collection of components that follow the Material Design guidelines and can be easily integrated into Svelte projects.

For material UI you can use: https://sveltematerialui.com. It works fine although my experience with it is minimal. For tailwind you can run npx svelte-add tailwindcss.

As I mentioned at the beginning of this article, we’re using Svelte Material UI. To install it in our project, we have to first add it to our dependencies:

I know everyone loves Tailwind; I do too. However, there are too many things we take for granted with Material Design. Try and add a simple Date Picker to a Svelte Project. The Materialify project was abandoned (as well as the potential re-write SvelterialJS). The Svelte Material UI hasn't been updated in months, has poor documentation, and may well be on its way to be abandoned as well. Angular Material is well supported by Goodle, React MUI is in the process of getting updated, and so is Vuetify. SolidJS just built a translator for React MUI, and I think it is buggy and doesn't support Solid Start yet. Vercel should donate $$ monthly to support Svelte Material UI. It also needs to add components outside of Material Web (like Datepicker) that the Vue, Angular, and React alternatives support. Material UI is the standard for a reason. Another option would be to find a good translator like Mitosis, but I don't see that happening in this case. That being said, there are some alpha and beta UI Frameworks worth looking at like Skelton and SvelteUI (based on Tailwind). https://sveltematerialui.com/ https://www.skeleton.dev/ https://www.svelteui.org/

The issues I've seen with SMUI have to do with TypeScript support (example), but these should be solved in the upcoming release 7.0.

HI all! I am looking for a good Material UI framework to use with Sveltekit! I have been trying to use SMUI from sveltematerialui.com, however it seems to cause tons of issues and the github issues don't seem to want to fix many of them, it seems like it isn't fully prod ready. I have looked at materialify, it seems good, however it hasn't been updated in the past 12 months, so I am not sure about the status of that. Option 3 would be me making all styles myself.... but that is quite a bit of work and I would like to have something working before the end of the month. Does anyone have any good alternatives to these? I have looked into Google's material libs, but they seem geared towards react and I am not sure if I want to mix things up that much. There must be matieral only CSS libs around that will play well with Tailwind, but I haven't had much luck finding anything (open source) that works well.
