    1 project | /r/sveltejs | 13 Apr 2023
    But the choice depends on the type of application though. If your routes are not dynamic (not using variables within route) then you can use static site generation (SSG) which will generate the various html files. Otherwise you need to use the same file (index.html#my/dynamic/route/5). To my knowledge svelteKit doesn't support hash-based routes. You might be able to configure routing without it, but if you need that, you me be better off to use svelte with svelte-spa-router and not sveltekit.

    https://github.com/ItalyPaleAle/svelte-spa-router seems good too.

    but it's not official, and Svelte project seems careless for client routing, instead it tries to convince everyone use its SSR-first kit, that "can do CSR too", which means you have to carry the whole SSR code base and its documentation into your CSR project totally unnecessarily.

    I get it Vercel needs SSR for its business, I don't get it why it keeps selling everyone that "my SSR-first framework is great for CSR SPA too", it is NOT, not at all.

  • SvelteKit worth?
    1 project | /r/sveltejs | 6 Sep 2022
    For a simple static site you can just use svelte with svelte-spa-router. If you want SSG, use Astro, it's a lot more mature than SvelteKit.

    Svelte SPA Router
  • svelte-spa-router not registating external hash change
    2 projects | /r/sveltejs | 8 Feb 2022
    I am using Keycloak for logging into my app and svelte-spa-router for hash based routing inside my SPA. After successful login, Keycloak should redirect back to http://localhost:1234/#/myRoute . However, Keycloak appends some suffixes to this route. The route ends up looking something like this: http://localhost:1234/#/myRoute&state=hexstring&session_state=hexstring... etc As I defined my route (inside routes.js) as /myRoute , the router fails to parse the URL returned by keycloak. Looking at the source code I noticed that keycloak changes the URL back to the "clean" parameterless URL: http://localhost:1234/#/myRoute using a call to window.location.replaceState . Unfortunately, this call does not get reflected in the spa-routers internal svelte store (i.e. $location).
  • My Evaluation of SvelteKit for Full-Stack Web App Development

    How does Routify compare with svelte-spa-router[1]? I really like svelte-spa-router for a simple SPA, though I think a lot of SPA routers don't always handle state well.

    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…

  • How I built a cross-framework frontend library
    3 projects | dev.to | 17 Jan 2024
    At the very bottom of the image, there are 3 blocks that I chose to call application components. If you are building a cross-framework library, these can be built with whatever tools you want! Only catch is, all the tools you use to build it, will be needed by everyone consuming it. So choose wisely, and be mindful of how many kilobytes of third party code you will need in order to ship. In Schedule-X, I chose to use Preact. You will probably be fine with most lightweight virtual DOM libraries, and just like with frameworks there are a few to pick from.

    DEV is a Rails monolith, which uses Preact in the front-end using islands architecture. The reason why I mention all this is that it's not a full-stack JavaScript application, and there is no state management library like Redux or Zustand in use. The data store, for the most part on the front end, is all data attributes.
