felte VS skeleton

How does it compare to Felte?

Don’t know if it can help, but I discovered this only recently, which was really missing for me with svelte: https://felte.dev/

I’ve been experimenting with web components in order to build a wrapper for Felte that can easily be used with vanilla JS. One of Felte’s features is the ability to use custom field components that are not based on the browser’s native inputs (input, textarea, select). The example I show is a div with an attribute [contenteditable=“true”]. While testing this experiment I found some weird behaviour coming from Firefox: while I could perfectly click each field and type of it, if I tried to use the form only using the keyboard (tabbing to each field) the focus moved but trying to type would always result in the text being added to the first field I focused.

There’s an example on Felte’s repo setting this up!

Ah. Of course 😅. mwc-textfield is not a native input. Felte relies on native inputs. You can use createField (by creating your own "wrapper" Svelte component that will render your ) or... better yet... you can experiment with what I've been working for the past weeks.

For the past few weeks I’ve taken the (arguably pointless) work of migrating Felte from using Jest to uvu. This is a really tedious work by itself, but one of details that would have made this work even more tedious is that Jest prefers assertions to the style of expect(…).toBe* while uvu gives you freedom to choose any assertion library, although there’s an official uvu/assert module that comes with assertions to the style of assert.is(value, expected).

After more than a year of work, I am proud to announce the release of version 1.0.0 of Felte!

I'm a bit bias here, but we've had a lot of support for my UI library called https://skeleton.dev/. We've taken a lot of the doc design and visual queues from them, though we've built with Tailwind/Svelte in mind from the ground up

I just found Skeleton, which are pre-built components using TailwindCSS. https://skeleton.brainandbonesllc.com/

I... might have inspected elements nonstop on https://skeleton.brainandbonesllc.com in order to figure out how your team did it and shamelessly applied it to my site example.

Skeleton looks promising, but you have to buy into Tailwind CSS.

Thanks! Even though the site is useable I'm looking into Skeleton (Tailwindcss Component Library that's good looking and quick/easy. In beta.) https://skeleton.brainandbonesllc.com/

You might check out Skeleton (full disclosure, I'm one of the creators)

When my partner and I were getting started with Svelte we noticed there was plenty of wrapper libraries, but very few that lean into the benefits of Svelte specifically. We wanted something like Mantine from the React world.

We're still early days (we've open source and public for about a month) but the feedback has been really positive. The one thing to note is we pair heavily with Tailwind, so if that's not your jam the library may not be for you. However for any sizable app where you're building a design system, we find it extremally helpful and productive.

Hopefully you can give it a try and it helps out! My username on our Discord is endigo9740 if you need any help!
