prebuilt-ui VS Svelte

In today’s tutorial, we’ll rebuild our Daily Prebuilt demo, already built in React and Vue, but this time with Svelte! ✨

At Daily, we’ve spent a lot of time making sure our video and audio-only APIs can be used with any frontend framework, or no framework at all. 🍦 It’s important to us to make flexible APIs that can be incorporated into any app looking to add audio and video chat. We’ve created several demos for our customers using plain JavaScript, React, Next.js, React Native, and more to help cover as many use cases as possible.

I can't speak to all of these because I haven't used them all (I work at Daily so I'm obviously biased) but we cover all of these requirements with our Prebuilt video option. Or you could use our APIs to build a custom video app with all these features. (Daily's built on WebRTC, btw.) Here's one of the demo apps if you want to test it out. https://github.com/daily-demos/prebuilt-ui This one is plan Javascript but there are a bunch of other React demos in that Github org, too. (e.g. https://github.com/daily-demos/webinar)

As others already mentioned, there are lots of third party video APIs that can handle this for you so you don't have to get into the nitty gritty with WebRTC. I work at Daily (so I'll plug that) but ultimately you've got several options. Here's a demo app showing how to use the Daily prebuilt UI-- it will just embed the video call right into the app for you.

Svelte and specifically, SvelteKit is an open source web framework that makes developing web applications easier.

the technical decision how Svelte should treat self-closing html elements was hindered by Prettier:

Svelte

React has introduced measures like batching state updates, background concurrent rendering and memoization to tackle this. My opinion is that the best way to solve the problem is by improving their reactivity model. The app needs to be able to track the code that should be re-run on updating a given state variable and specifically update the UI corresponding to this update. Tools like solid.js and svelte work in this manner. It also eliminates the need for a virtual DOM and diffing.

Similarly to Promises/A+, this effort focuses on aligning the JavaScript ecosystem. If this alignment is successful, then a standard could emerge, based on that experience. Several framework authors are collaborating here on a common model which could back their reactivity core. The current draft is based on design input from the authors/maintainers of Angular, Bubble, Ember, FAST, MobX, Preact, Qwik, RxJS, Solid, Starbeam, Svelte, Vue, Wiz, and more…

Svelte is a powerful web framework that offers a fresh approach to building web applications. Its simplicity, reactivity model, and built-in features make it an excellent choice for developers looking to create efficient and maintainable applications. By following this guide, you should now have a good understanding of how to get started with Svelte and build your first components, routes, and transitions. You can read more about svelte on the official Svelte website.
