svelte-spa-router VS redux

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.

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 - You need a router. NextJS, which you have experienced in, comes with a router.

Svelte SPA Router

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).

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.

Redux

redux - Redux is a key tool used in managing state across an application. This can be used with any web technology including React, Vue and Angular docs

Redux is a client-state library.

react-redux: A powerhouse for efficient state management and data flow control. Learn more

Reducer-based: requires dispatching actions to update a big centralised state, often called a “single source of truth”. In this group, we have Redux and Zustand.

I am _thrilled_ to announce that:

Redux Toolkit 2.0 is LIVE!!!

- https://github.com/reduxjs/redux-toolkit/releases/tag/v2.0.0

This major version has new features, faster perf, smaller bundle size, and removes deprecated options.

It's accompanied by majors for all our Redux family packages

## RTK 2.0:

- a new `combineSlices` method for lazy-loading reducers - Updates to `createSlice` to include a `selectors` field and allow defining thunks inside

- Immer 10 w/ faster updates

- Removal of deprecated options

See the migration guide:

- https://redux.js.org/usage/migrations/migrating-rtk-2

All of the Redux libraries now have modernized packaging with full ESM/CJS compat. They also ship modern JS (no transpiling for IE11), which means smaller bundle sizes.

We've also done byte-shaving work to shrink the bundles (extracting error messages, de-duping imports)

## Redux core 5.0:

- The TS conversion we did in 2019!

- Action types _must_ be strings

- `UnknownAction` as the default action type

- Better preloaded state types

- Internal subscription improvements

- Still marks `createStore` as deprecated!

- https://github.com/reduxjs/redux/releases/tag/v5.0.0

## React-Redux 9.0:

- *Now requires React 18 and RTK 2.0 / Redux 5.0*

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.

Oh hey, that's my post!

(yes I spend too much time refreshing HN :) )

FWIW I did end up with a packaging combination that seems to work sufficiently. I never did fix the "FalseCJS" issue that `are-the-types-wrong` is detecting. I played with double-emitting TS typedefs, and the `tsup` tool _does_ actually have support for that now (added by Andrew Branch from the TS team). So it might be more feasible now. But ultimately I decided I was tired of messing with packaging setup and that what I've got is good enough. (hopefully)

We're actually about to launch Redux Toolkit 2.0 and Redux 5.0 this week, assuming the last couple pieces come together. Here's the latest RCs - you can see the current `package.json` files in there:

- https://github.com/reduxjs/redux-toolkit/releases/tag/v2.0.0...

- https://github.com/reduxjs/redux/releases/tag/v5.0.0-rc.1
