svelte-apollo VS routify

GraphQL: svelte-apollo, @urql/svelte.

Some tools that could be helpful are GraphQL and PouchDB. GraphQL requires a fair bit of setup but should make the process of fetching and syncing data from the server much more declarative, particularly when used with something like svelte-apollo. PouchDB gives the appearance of writing directly to your data store and it handles syncing for you. The main caveat is you have to use CouchDB on the server side which is obviously quite prescriptive.

Been using Routify in all my projects since I started with Svelte like 3-4 years ago.

Anyway, it seems you have a problem with Sveltekit routing. You can still use Svelte with other SSR frameworks, such as Astro, a router like https://routify.dev, or switch to another framework altogether.

Routify is still active and new version in the works. Version 3 can be used https://github.com/roxiness/routify/tree/next

I would have to say Svelte with a router like https://routify.dev . My recent blog post originally used sveltekit but I swapped it out last minute

Regarding some suggestions on here recommending SvelteKit: Learning SvelteKit might be a big ask depending on what you're trying to do. If you just want to stick with svelte only for now, and you want to add SPA routing capabilities, consider checking out https://routify.dev there's a ton of documentation for it and it's fairly simple to pick up. ✌🏼

Routing: We have a few third party ones such as routify, svelte-spa-router and svelte-routing as well as the clientside routers included in SvelteKit and Sapper.

if Next.js/Nuxt like needs are not something you're looking for yet, you can definitely go ahead with Svelte's default client-side app approach, with svelte-spa-router or routify for SPAs.

We chose Routify for client-side routing because this was around the time that Sapper seemed like it was being sunset in favor of Sveltekit which doesn't seem production-ready quite yet. We also have plans to statically pre-render the app so it can more-or-less work entirely offline and Routify makes that relatively straightforward (but see below).

Since svelte does a lot of compile time stuff, I would like to mention Routify, which is compile time SPA routing. For me it worked awesome to accomplish projects with many routes and the need for hash based routing.
