SvelteKit: Building Full-Stack Svelte Applications

SvelteKit provides full-stack capabilities for Svelte with routing, SSR, and API endpoints.

#sveltekit#svelte#full-stack#ssr

SvelteKit builds on Svelte with routing, server-side rendering, and API endpoints. File-based routing simplifies navigation. Load functions fetch data server-side. Form actions handle mutations.

Routing and Data

File structure defines routes automatically. Load functions fetch data before rendering. Page and layout data cascade appropriately. Server-only code runs securely.

  • Use file-based routing for automatic route generation
  • Fetch data in load functions for SSR
  • Create API routes with +server.js files
  • Handle forms with form actions
  • Implement authentication with hooks

Deployment

Adapters target different platforms. Vercel, Netlify, Cloudflare Workers supported. Node adapter runs traditional servers. Static adapter generates static sites.
