sveltestrap VS polka

I'd suggest: SvelteKit, Typescript, Bootstrap, axios, and yarn. This is a relatively easy combination to learn, and quite fast to develop with. Bootstrap is getting long in the tooth, but it has a vast ecosystem and takes care of a lot of details for you. Alternative frameworks: Nuxt, SolidJS, SolidStart, Astro. Alternative components: Flowbite, Svelma, Smelte.

sveltestrap - Bootstrap 4 & 5 components for Svelte

That's one of the issues with Svelte. It's a newcomer so the ecosystem is minuscule.

Personally I'm happy using Bulma with Svelte. I find most UI libraries tend to add too much bloat so I'd rather have something that only adds configurable CSS and just add as much JS as I need/want.

I used Vue+Vuetify some years ago. I wasn't very happy with it, but I agree Svelte needs something similar.

There are a couple of projects out there that add Svelte components for Bootstrap, Material, or IBM Carbon you could check.

There are also a couple of projects about headless (no CSS) components for Svelte although I only seem to be able to find this one (not public yet)

Sveltestrap

Within a few minutes, I located the sveltestrap dependency, then added it to my project using the following command:

Express.js, with its long-lived version 4 is famous for its somewhat low performance. Other projects like fastify or polka have benchmarks outperforming Express.js. I don’t know why Express is slower, maybe because of regex processing of routes? If you’re using parametric routes like /users/:userid/entity and have no regexp routes, then replacing Express.js with fastify or polka will add a performance boost to your app. They are not direct replacements, but you can convert code if you really need that boost. In the article below benchmarks shows huge improvement, but in reality, your code will be a limiting factor to your app performance, and you are unlikely notice any improvement.

- once released and popular, they cease getting frequent updates

Now, yes this is a generalization. It doesn't apply to all of their packages, and not at the same point in time. But there is a pattern there. Some quick diving into the author's Github account, and their more popular repos shows the pattern. It's also clear that this was a choice made by a Svelte contributor to use their own package for "official" support in Svelte Kit.

When it comes to polka itself, I just don't get why a maturing framework like Svelte would choose something whose only real advantage lies in micro-benchmarking porn [1]. Speculation aside, I'm surprised the Svelte team didn't look at that choice through a lens of higher scrutiny. Koa would have been an infinitely better choice in my personal opinion, and there are several community-driven setups [2][3] for it.

Check out polka if you haven’t. It’s far leaner, and faster.

Sapper, by default, uses polka as the server. I decided to use express instead.

Learn something new every day. This is awesome I could probably use polka instead of express.
