SvelteKit VS vite

Only, if you're going to write a fullstack app and have server rendered or statically rendered pages, you'll most likely use a meta framework like NextJs, Remix, SvelteKit, SolidStart.

I was working on a SvelteKit based local cloud project. I know that there are already solutions out there that work out of the box, but I want to try and build my own version from scratch. One of the key features is the file uploading and I had a tough time collecting all the information piece by piece. So, I hope that you find my solution helpful.

This article is all about simplifying your path to web development. We will build amazing websites with as little effort as possible with SvelteKit, a tool akin to your coding friend. We will quickly set things up, create a basic site with little coding, and easily turn it into a Progressive Web App (PWA).

- The starter template is like a collection of web dev best practices.

- The community is great. Beginners should ask a lot of questions, and the Svelte community is pretty good at trying to help them.

- The DX is wonderful.

The only caveat: if your goal involves finding employment choose React (Next.js) because there are way more openings.

Everything you need to build a Svelte project, powered by create-svelte.

Svelte is a JavaScript framework that can be used to build a full-scale application or small bits of other applications. The core principle of Svelte is based on running the code at compile time; this is different from frameworks like React and Vue, which perform most of the operations in the browser while the app is running without a virtual DOM. This makes developing Svelte applications faster, bundles smaller, and performance better. Svelte is also easier to write and learn. It basically entails coding in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with the addition of a few extensions. However, Svelte has a framework called SvelteKit which allows the implementation of more complex functionalities and features such as routing and server-side rendering. The main features of Svelte include:

Sveltekit doesn't natively support WebSockets, and even though it does support server-sent events, it does so in a clumsy way. Express supports both nicely. As a result, I used svelte-sse for server-sent events. One somewhat annoying quirk I ran into is that since svelte-sse returns a Svelte store, which my app wasn't subscribing to (the app doesn't need to read the value, just to trigger a pull as I described above), the whole thing was just optimized away by the compiler. I was initially scratching my head about why messages were not coming through. I ended up having to implement a workaround for that behavior. I don't blame the author of the library; they assumed a meaningful value would be sent to the client, which is not the case with 'poke'.

First, let's create our app using Vite (it's super fast and modern):

Developers understand imposter syndrome, as a developer I feel this too. Take React, for instance. You spend months getting comfortable with it, building components, managing state, and feeling pretty good about your skills. Then suddenly, everyone's talking about Vite and how it's the next big thing. Should you drop everything and learn Vite? Is React dead now?

At this point, we wanted to rely less on meta-frameworks and initially decided to use only the build tool Vite while writing the browser extension-specific configuration ourselves to minimize dependencies. We had seen great reviews of Vite from various developer communities online, so it seemed like the right choice.

I checked and sass-embedded was included in peerDependencies at this time, so it must have been an error since then. https://github.com/vitejs/vite/commit/1025bb6d8f21c0cb9fe72405d42e0f91bb3f1d8e

Vite is the new kid on the block, ready to blow your mind with speed and simplicity. And Vite isn’t just important for developers; it’s a game-changer for businesses. Speedy development cycles equals happy devs. Happy devs build better code. That means faster time-to-market and lower costs for your business or clients.

Vite

Frontend: Vite + React + TypeScript Backend: Express (Node.js) + TypeScript Database: Neon (PostgreSQL) Note: You can use other databases like MongoDB as well.

To begin, we will create a new blank project. You can skip this paragraph if you’re looking to add the solution to an existing project. Using Node Package Manager (NPM), we will create the project with the command: npm create vue@latest. The default settings are fine for our purposes, but if you prefer, you can change them. I enabled ESLint and Prettier options. There are other ways to initiate a Vue project, but I prefer this one because it uses Vite as the development server by default.

As a replacement we've chosen Vite. This is a suitable replacement as it comes with a super fast development server and a very well optimized release build.

What's the solution? In one word: Vite.
