svelte-spa-router VS svelte-routing

3 things to comment here. The first is the use of the svelte-spa-router library (for more details see its doc here). For the simple purpose of changing views in a desktop application, this library more than fulfills its purpose. With the 7 views or pages we create a dictionary (or JavaScript object) that associates routes with views. Then this dictionary is passed as props to the Router component of svelte-spa-router. It's that simple. As we will see later, through programmatic navigation or through user action we can easily change views.

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).

participated in discussion about the initiative to keep svelte-routing package alive on their github issue: https://github.com/EmilTholin/svelte-routing

So my questions are : Is it possible to have routes inside the MFs ? If yes, should I use something like this (https://github.com/EmilTholin/svelte-routing) even if it's not official svelte support ? I don't really see informations about entry points on the Turborepo doc. I want to be able to work on each MF independantly (I mean see them in the browser in dev mode) but then just serve them as modules for the app shell in prod mode. I imagine this is possible but is it a configuration I need to implement myself with the package.json files or is it about Turborepo ? I read this (https://michalzalecki.com/micro-frontends-module-federation-monorepo/) article about a similar approach with Webpack, but in this article I don't quite see where is the difference between the bundling part of Webpack (wich can be whatever I want Vite for Svelte, Turbo for Next, etc.) and the monorepo handling part. So how/why only one tool (webpack) instead of many others (turborepo + other bundlers) ?

I used https://github.com/EmilTholin/svelte-routing with great success, though it looks like the maintainer has recently stopped maintaining it, and recommending sveltekit.

Still, I'd give try, it looks like people are still using it, and perhaps someone else will pick up the burden of maintenance, since there's clearly a ton of demand: https://github.com/EmilTholin/svelte-routing/issues/236

I'll use SvelteKit in the future but I wanted to learn Svelte with the most basic setup first. I don't want to use SSR anyway. I went with a Vite + Typescript setup and used this router library. It's really simple and did work without any hassle. I love the mindblowing simplicity of Svelte, the tiny builds and the blazing fast dev-server HMR. Coming from React and Vue.

Second point, yes you can add routes. Here is the refence I used: https://github.com/EmilTholin/svelte-routing

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.
