## Project types
|
||
|
||
SvelteKit supports all rendering modes: SPA, SSR, SSG, and you can mix them within one project.
|
||
|
||
## Setup
|
||
|
||
Scaffold a new SvelteKit project using `npx sv create` then follow the instructions. Do NOT use `npm create svelte` anymore, this command is deprecated.
|
||
|
||
A SvelteKit project needs a `package.json` with the following contents at minimum:
|
||
|
||
```json
|
||
{
|
||
"devDependencies": {
|
||
"@sveltejs/adapter-auto": "^6.0.0",
|
||
"@sveltejs/kit": "^2.0.0",
|
||
"@sveltejs/vite-plugin-svelte": "^5.0.0",
|
||
"svelte": "^5.0.0",
|
||
"vite": "^6.0.0"
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Do NOT put any of the `devDependencies` listed above into `dependencies`, keep them all in `devDependencies`.
|
||
|
||
It also needs a `vite.config.js` with the following at minimum:
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
import { defineConfig } from 'vite';
|
||
import { sveltekit } from '@sveltejs/kit/vite';
|
||
|
||
export default defineConfig({
|
||
plugins: [sveltekit()]
|
||
});
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
It also needs a `svelte.config.js` with the following at minimum:
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
import adapter from '@sveltejs/adapter-auto';
|
||
|
||
export default {
|
||
kit: {
|
||
adapter: adapter()
|
||
}
|
||
};
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Project structure
|
||
|
||
- **`src/` directory:**
|
||
- `lib/` for shared code (`$lib`), `lib/server/` for server‑only modules (`$lib/server`), `params/` for matchers, `routes/` for your pages/components, plus `app.html`, `error.html`, `hooks.client.js`, `hooks.server.js`, and `service-worker.js`.
|
||
- Do **NOT** import server‑only code into client files
|
||
- **Top‑level assets & configs:**
|
||
- `static/` for public assets; `tests/` (if using Playwright); config files: `package.json` (with `@sveltejs/kit`, `svelte`, `vite` as devDeps), `svelte.config.js`, `tsconfig.json` (or `jsconfig.json`, extending `.svelte-kit/tsconfig.json`), and `vite.config.js`.
|
||
- Do **NOT** forget `"type": "module"` in `package.json` if using ESM.
|
||
- **Build artifacts:**
|
||
- `.svelte-kit/` is auto‑generated and safe to ignore or delete; it will be recreated on `dev`/`build`.
|
||
- Do **NOT** commit `.svelte-kit/` to version control.
|
||
|
||
## Routing
|
||
|
||
- **Filesystem router:** `src/routes` maps directories to URL paths: Everything with a `+page.svelte` file inside it becomes a visitable URL, e.g. `src/routes/hello/+page.svelte` becomes `/hello`. `[param]` folders define dynamic segments. Do NOT use other file system router conventions, e.g. `src/routes/hello.svelte` does NOT become available als URL `/hello`
|
||
- **Route files:** Prefix with `+`: all run server‑side; only non‑`+server` run client‑side; `+layout`/`+error` apply recursively.
|
||
- **Best practice:** Do **not** hard‑code routes in code; instead rely on the filesystem convention.
|
||
|
||
### +page.svelte
|
||
|
||
- Defines UI for a route, SSR on first load and CSR thereafter
|
||
- Do **not** fetch data inside the component; instead use a `+page.js` or `+page.server.js` `load` function; access its return value through `data` prop via `let { data } = $props()` (typed with `PageProps`).
|
||
|
||
```svelte
|
||
<script lang="ts">
|
||
import type { PageProps } from './$types';
|
||
let { data }: PageProps = $props();
|
||
</script>
|
||
<h1>{data.title}</h1>
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### +page.js
|
||
|
||
- Load data for pages via `export function load({ params })` (typed `PageLoad`), return value is put into `data` prop in component
|
||
- Can export `prerender`, `ssr`, and `csr` consts here to influence how page is rendered.
|
||
- Do **not** include private logic (DB or env vars), can **not** export `actions` from here; if needed, use `+page.server.js`.
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
import type { PageLoad } from './$types';
|
||
|
||
export const load: PageLoad = () => {
|
||
return {
|
||
title: 'Hello world!',
|
||
};
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### +page.server.js
|
||
|
||
- `export async function load(...)` (typed `PageServerLoad`) to access databases or private env; return serializable data.
|
||
- Can also export `actions` for `<form>` handling on the server.
|
||
|
||
### +error.svelte
|
||
|
||
- Add `+error.svelte` in a route folder to render an error page, can use `page.status` and `page.error.message` from `$app/state`.
|
||
- SvelteKit walks up routes to find the closest boundary; falls back to `src/error.html` if none.
|
||
|
||
### +layout.svelte
|
||
|
||
- Place persistent elements (nav, footer) and include `{@render children()}` to render page content. Example:
|
||
|
||
```svelte
|
||
<script>
|
||
import { LayoutProps } from './$types';
|
||
let { children, data } = $props();
|
||
</script>
|
||
|
||
<p>Some Content that is shared for all pages below this layout</p>
|
||
<!-- child layouts/page goes here -->
|
||
{@render children()}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
- Create subdirectory `+layout.svelte` to scope UI to nested routes, inheriting parent layouts.
|
||
- Use layouts to avoid repeating common markup; do **not** duplicate UI in every `+page.svelte`.
|
||
|
||
### +layout.js / +layout.server.js
|
||
|
||
- In `+layout.js` or `+layout.server.js` export `load()` (typed `LayoutLoad`) to supply `data` to the layout and its children; set `prerender`, `ssr`, `csr`.
|
||
- Use `+layout.server.js` (typed `LayoutServerLoad`) for server-only things like DB or env access.
|
||
- Do **not** perform server‑only operations in `+layout.js`; use the server variant.
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
import type { LayoutLoad } from './$types';
|
||
|
||
export const load: LayoutLoad = () => {
|
||
return {
|
||
sections: [
|
||
{ slug: 'profile', title: 'Profile' },
|
||
{ slug: 'notifications', title: 'Notifications' }
|
||
]
|
||
};
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### +server.js (Endpoints)
|
||
|
||
- Export HTTP handlers (`GET`, `POST`, etc.) in `+server.js` under `src/routes`; receive `RequestEvent`, return `Response` or use `json()`, `error()`, `redirect()` (exported from `@sveltejs/kit`).
|
||
- export `fallback` to catch all other methods.
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
import type { RequestHandler } from './$types';
|
||
|
||
export const GET: RequestHandler = ({ url }) => {
|
||
return new Response('hello world');
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### $types
|
||
|
||
- SvelteKit creates `$types.d.ts` with `PageProps`, `LayoutProps`, `RequestHandler`, `PageLoad`, etc., for type‑safe props and loaders.
|
||
- Use them inside `+page.svelte`/`+page.server.js`/`+page.js`/`+layout.svelte`/`+layout.server.js`/`+layout.js` by importing from `./$types`
|
||
|
||
### Other files
|
||
|
||
- Any non‑`+` files in route folders are ignored by the router, use this to your advantage to colocate utilities or components.
|
||
- For cross‑route imports, place modules under `src/lib` and import via `$lib`.
|
||
|
||
## Loading data
|
||
|
||
### Page data
|
||
|
||
- `+page.js` exports a `load` (`PageLoad`) whose returned object is available in `+page.svelte` via `let { data } = $props()` (e.g. when you do `return { foo }` from `load` it is available within `let { data } = $props()` in `+page.svelte` as `data.foo`)
|
||
- Universal loads run on SSR and CSR; private or DB‑backed loads belong in `+page.server.js` (`PageServerLoad`) and must return devalue‑serializable data.
|
||
|
||
Example:
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
// file: src/routes/foo/+page.js
|
||
export async function load({ fetch }) {
|
||
const result = await fetch('/data/from/somewhere').then((r) => r.json());
|
||
return { result }; // return property "result"
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
```svelte
|
||
<!-- file: src/routes/foo/+page.svelte -->
|
||
<script>
|
||
// "data" prop contains property "result"
|
||
let { data } = $props();
|
||
</script>
|
||
{data.result}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Layout data
|
||
|
||
- `+layout.js` or `+layout.server.js` exports a `load` (`LayoutLoad`/`LayoutServerLoad`)
|
||
- Layout data flows downward: child layouts and pages see parent data in their `data` prop.
|
||
- Data loading flow (interaction of load function and props) works the same as for `+page(.server).js/svelte`
|
||
|
||
### page.data
|
||
|
||
- The `page` object from `$app/state` gives access to all data from `load` functions via `page.data`, usable in any layout or page.
|
||
- Ideal for things like `<svelte:head><title>{page.data.title}</title></svelte:head>`.
|
||
- Types come from `App.PageData`
|
||
- earlier Svelte versions used `$app/stores` for the same concepts, do NOT use `$app/stores` anymore unless prompted to do so
|
||
|
||
### Universal vs. server loads
|
||
|
||
- Universal (`+*.js`) run on server first, then in browser; server (`+*.server.js`) always run server‑side and can use secrets, cookies, DB, etc.
|
||
- Both receive `params`, `route`, `url`, `fetch`, `setHeaders`, `parent`, `depends`; server loads additionally get `cookies`, `locals`, `platform`, `request`.
|
||
- Use server loads for private data or non‑serializable items; universal loads for public APIs or returning complex values (like constructors).
|
||
|
||
### Load function arguments
|
||
|
||
- `url` is a `URL` object (no `hash` server‑side); `route.id` shows the route pattern; `params` map path segments to values.
|
||
- Query parameters via `url.searchParams` trigger reruns when they change.
|
||
- Use these to branch logic and fetch appropriate data in `load`.
|
||
|
||
## Making Fetch Requests
|
||
|
||
Use the provided `fetch` function for enhanced features:
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
// src/routes/items/[id]/+page.js
|
||
export async function load({ fetch, params }) {
|
||
const res = await fetch(`/api/items/${params.id}`);
|
||
const item = await res.json();
|
||
return { item };
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Headers and Cookies
|
||
|
||
Set response headers using `setHeaders`:
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
export async function load({ fetch, setHeaders }) {
|
||
const response = await fetch(url);
|
||
|
||
setHeaders({
|
||
age: response.headers.get('age'),
|
||
'cache-control': response.headers.get('cache-control')
|
||
});
|
||
|
||
return response.json();
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Access cookies in server load functions using `cookies`:
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
export async function load({ cookies }) {
|
||
const sessionid = cookies.get('sessionid');
|
||
return {
|
||
user: await db.getUser(sessionid)
|
||
};
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Do not set `set-cookie` via `setHeaders`; use `cookies.set()` instead.
|
||
|
||
## Using Parent Data
|
||
|
||
Access data from parent load functions:
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
export async function load({ parent }) {
|
||
const { a } = await parent();
|
||
return { b: a + 1 };
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Errors and Redirects
|
||
|
||
Redirect users using `redirect`:
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
import { redirect } from '@sveltejs/kit';
|
||
|
||
export function load({ locals }) {
|
||
if (!locals.user) {
|
||
redirect(307, '/login');
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Throw expected errors using `error`:
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
import { error } from '@sveltejs/kit';
|
||
|
||
export function load({ locals }) {
|
||
if (!locals.user) {
|
||
error(401, 'not logged in');
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Unexpected exceptions trigger `handleError` hook and a 500 response.
|
||
|
||
## Streaming with Promises
|
||
|
||
Server load functions can stream promises as they resolve:
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
export async function load({ params }) {
|
||
return {
|
||
comments: loadComments(params.slug),
|
||
post: await loadPost(params.slug)
|
||
};
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
```svelte
|
||
<h1>{data.post.title}</h1>
|
||
<div>{@html data.post.content}</div>
|
||
|
||
{#await data.comments}
|
||
Loading comments...
|
||
{:then comments}
|
||
{#each comments as comment}
|
||
<p>{comment.content}</p>
|
||
{/each}
|
||
{:catch error}
|
||
<p>error loading comments: {error.message}</p>
|
||
{/await}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Rerunning Load Functions
|
||
|
||
Load functions rerun when:
|
||
|
||
- Referenced params or URL properties change
|
||
- A parent load function reran and `await parent()` was called
|
||
- A dependency was invalidated with `invalidate(url)` or `invalidateAll()`
|
||
|
||
Manually invalidate load functions:
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
// In load function
|
||
export async function load({ fetch, depends }) {
|
||
depends('app:random');
|
||
// ...
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
// In component
|
||
import { invalidate } from '$app/navigation';
|
||
function rerunLoadFunction() {
|
||
invalidate('app:random');
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Dependency Tracking
|
||
|
||
Exclude from dependency tracking with `untrack`:
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
export async function load({ untrack, url }) {
|
||
if (untrack(() => url.pathname === '/')) {
|
||
return { message: 'Welcome!' };
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Implications for authentication
|
||
|
||
- Layout loads don’t automatically rerun on CSR; guards in `+layout.server.js` require child pages to await the parent.
|
||
- To avoid missed auth checks and waterfalls, use hooks like `handle` for global protection or per‑page server loads.
|
||
|
||
### Using getRequestEvent
|
||
|
||
- `getRequestEvent()` retrieves the current server `RequestEvent`, letting shared functions (e.g. `requireLogin()`) access `locals`, `url`, etc., without parameter passing.
|
||
|
||
## Using forms
|
||
|
||
### Form actions
|
||
|
||
- A `+page.server.js` can export `export const actions: Actions = { default: async (event) => {…} }`; `<form method="POST">` in `+page.svelte` posts to the default action without any JS. `+page.js` or `+layout.js` or `+layout.server.js` can NOT export `actions`
|
||
- Name multiple actions (`login`, `register`) in `actions`, invoke with `action="?/register"` or `button formaction="?/register"`; do NOT use `default` name in this case.
|
||
- Each action gets `{ request, cookies, params }`, uses `await request.formData()`, sets cookies or DB state, and returns an object that appears on the page as `form` (typed via `PageProps`).
|
||
|
||
Example: Define a default action in `+page.server.js`:
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
// file: src/routes/login/+page.server.js
|
||
import type { Actions } from './$types';
|
||
|
||
export const actions: Actions = {
|
||
default: async (event) => {
|
||
// TODO log the user in
|
||
}
|
||
};
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Use it with a simple form:
|
||
|
||
```svelte
|
||
<!-- file: src/routes/login/+page.svelte -->
|
||
<form method="POST">
|
||
<label>
|
||
Email
|
||
<input name="email" type="email">
|
||
</label>
|
||
<label>
|
||
Password
|
||
<input name="password" type="password">
|
||
</label>
|
||
<button>Log in</button>
|
||
</form>
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Validation errors
|
||
|
||
- Return `fail(400, { field, error: true })` from an action to send back status and data; display via `form?.field` and repopulate inputs with `value={form?.field ?? ''}`.
|
||
- Use `fail` instead of throwing so the nearest `+error.svelte` isn’t invoked and the user can correct their input.
|
||
- `fail` payload must be JSON‑serializable.
|
||
|
||
### Redirects
|
||
|
||
- In an action, call `redirect(status, location)` to send a 3xx redirect; this throws and bypasses form re-render.
|
||
- Client-side, use `goto()` from `$app/navigation` for programmatic redirects.
|
||
|
||
### Loading data after actions
|
||
|
||
- After an action completes (unless redirected), SvelteKit reruns `load` functions and re‑renders the page, merging the action’s return value into `form`.
|
||
- The `handle` hook runs once before the action; if you modify cookies in your action, you must also update `event.locals` there to keep `load` in sync.
|
||
- Do NOT assume `locals` persists automatically; set `event.locals` inside your action when auth state changes.
|
||
|
||
### Progressive enhancement
|
||
|
||
- Apply `use:enhance` from `$app/forms` to `<form>` to intercept submissions, prevent full reloads, update `form`, `page.form`, `page.status`, reset the form, invalidate all data, handle redirects, render errors, and restore focus. Do NOT use onsubmit event for progressive enhancement
|
||
- To customize, provide a callback that runs before submit and returns a handler; use `update()` for default logic or `applyAction(result)` to apply form data without full invalidation.
|
||
- You can also write your own `onsubmit` listener using `fetch`, then `deserialize` the response and `applyAction`/`invalidateAll`; do NOT use `JSON.parse` for action responses.
|
||
|
||
```svelte
|
||
<script>
|
||
import type { PageProps } from './$types';
|
||
import { enhance } from '$app/forms';
|
||
let { form } = $props();
|
||
</script>
|
||
|
||
<form method="POST" use:enhance>
|
||
<!-- form content -->
|
||
</form>
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Page options
|
||
|
||
#### prerender
|
||
|
||
- Set `export const prerender = true|false|'auto'` in page or layout modules; `true` generates static HTML, `false` skips, `'auto'` includes in SSR manifest.
|
||
- Applies to pages **and** `+server.js` routes (inherit parent flags); dynamic routes need `entries()` or `config.kit.prerender.entries` to tell the crawler which parameter values to use.
|
||
- Do NOT prerender pages that use form actions or rely on `url.searchParams` server‑side.
|
||
|
||
#### entries
|
||
|
||
- In a dynamic route’s `+page(.server).js` or `+server.js`, export `export function entries(): Array<Record<string,string>>` (can be async) to list parameter sets for prerendering.
|
||
- Overrides default crawling to ensure dynamic pages (e.g. `/blog/[slug]`) are generated.
|
||
- Do NOT forget to pair `entries()` with `export const prerender = true`.
|
||
|
||
### ssr
|
||
|
||
- `export const ssr = false` disables server-side rendering, sending only an HTML shell and turning the page into a client-only SPA.
|
||
- Use sparingly (e.g. when using browser‑only globals); do NOT set both `ssr` and `csr` to `false` or nothing will render.
|
||
|
||
#### csr
|
||
|
||
- `export const csr = false` prevents hydration, omits JS bundle, disables `<script>`s, form enhancements, client routing, and HMR.
|
||
- Ideal for purely static pages (e.g. marketing or blog posts); do NOT disable CSR on pages requiring interactivity.
|
||
|
||
## State management
|
||
|
||
- Avoid shared server variables—servers are stateless and shared across users. Authenticate via cookies and persist to a database instead of writing to in‑memory globals.
|
||
- Keep `load` functions pure: no side‑effects or global store writes. Return data from `load` and pass it via `data` or `page.data`.
|
||
- For shared client‑only state across components, use Svelte’s context API (`setContext`/`getContext`) or URL parameters for persistent filters; snapshots for ephemeral UI state tied to navigation history.
|
||
|
||
## Building your app
|
||
|
||
- Build runs in two phases: Vite compiles and prerenders (if enabled), then an adapter tailors output for your deployment target.
|
||
- Guard any code that should not execute at build time with `import { building } from '$app/environment'; if (!building) { … }`.
|
||
- Preview your production build locally with `npm run preview` (Node‑only, no adapter hooks).
|
||
|
||
## Adapters
|
||
|
||
- Adapters transform the built app into deployable assets for various platforms (Cloudflare, Netlify, Node, static, Vercel, plus community adapters).
|
||
- Configure in `svelte.config.js` under `kit.adapter = adapter(opts)`, importing the adapter module and passing its options.
|
||
- Some adapters expose a `platform` object (e.g. Cloudflare’s `env`); access it via `event.platform` in hooks and server routes.
|
||
|
||
## Single‑page apps
|
||
|
||
- Turn your app into a fully CSR SPA by setting `export const ssr = false;` in the root `+layout.js`.
|
||
- For static hosting, use `@sveltejs/adapter-static` with a `fallback` HTML (e.g. `200.html`) so client routing can handle unknown paths.
|
||
- You can still prerender select pages by enabling `prerender = true` and `ssr = true` in their individual `+page.js` or `+layout.js` modules.
|
||
|
||
## Advanced routing
|
||
|
||
- Rest parameters (`[...file]`) capture an unknown number of segments (e.g. `src/routes/hello/[...path]` catches all routes under `/hello`) and expose them as a single string; use a catch‑all route `+error.svelte` to render nested custom 404 pages.
|
||
- Optional parameters (`[[lang]]`) make a segment optional, e.g. for `[[lang]]/home` both `/home` and `/en/home` map to the same route; cannot follow a rest parameter.
|
||
- Matchers in `src/params/type.js` let you constrain `[param=type]` (e.g. only “apple” or “orange”), falling back to other routes or a 404 if the test fails.
|
||
|
||
### Advanced layouts
|
||
|
||
- Group directories `(app)` or `(marketing)` apply a shared layout without affecting URLs.
|
||
- Break out of the inherited layout chain per page with `+page@segment.svelte` (e.g. `+page@(app).svelte`) or per layout with `+layout@.svelte`.
|
||
- Use grouping judiciously: overuse can complicate nesting; sometimes simple composition or wrapper components suffice.
|
||
|
||
## Hooks
|
||
|
||
### Server hooks
|
||
|
||
- `handle({ event, resolve })`: runs on every request; mutate `event.locals`, bypass routing, or call `resolve(event, { transformPageChunk, filterSerializedResponseHeaders, preload })` to customize HTML, headers, and asset preloading.
|
||
- `handleFetch({ event, request, fetch })`: intercepts server‑side `fetch` calls to rewrite URLs, forward cookies on cross‑origin, or route internal requests directly to handlers.
|
||
- `init()`: runs once at server startup for async setup (e.g. database connections).
|
||
|
||
### Shared hooks
|
||
|
||
- `handleError({ error, event, status, message })`: catches unexpected runtime errors on server or client; log via Sentry or similar, return a safe object (e.g. `{ message: 'Oops', errorId }`) for `$page.error`.
|
||
|
||
### Universal hooks
|
||
|
||
- `reroute({ url, fetch? })`: map incoming `url.pathname` to a different route ID (without changing the address bar), optionally async and using `fetch`.
|
||
- `transport`: define `encode`/`decode` for custom types (e.g. class instances) to serialize them across server/client boundaries in loads and actions.
|
||
|
||
## Errors
|
||
|
||
- Expected errors thrown with `error(status, message|object)` set the response code, render the nearest `+error.svelte` with `page.error`, and let you pass extra props (e.g. `{ code: 'NOT_FOUND' }`).
|
||
- Unexpected exceptions invoke the `handleError` hook, are logged internally, and expose a generic `{ message: 'Internal Error' }` to users; customize reporting or user‑safe messages in `handleError`.
|
||
- Errors in server handlers or `handle` return JSON or your `src/error.html` fallback based on `Accept` headers; errors in `load` render component boundaries as usual. Type‑safe shapes via a global `App.Error` interface.
|
||
|
||
## Link options
|
||
|
||
The following are HTML attributes you can put on any HTML element.
|
||
|
||
- `data-sveltekit-preload-data="hover"|"tap"` preloads `load` on link hover (`touchstart`) or immediate tap; use `"tap"` for fast‑changing data.
|
||
- `data-sveltekit-preload-code="eager"|"viewport"|"hover"|"tap"` preloads JS/CSS aggressively or on scroll/hover/tap to improve load times.
|
||
- `data-sveltekit-reload` forces full-page reload; `data-sveltekit-replacestate` uses `replaceState`; `data-sveltekit-keepfocus` retains focus; `data-sveltekit-noscroll` preserves scroll position; disable any by setting the value to `"false"`.
|
||
|
||
## Server-only modules
|
||
|
||
- `$env/static/private` and `$env/dynamic/private` can only be imported into server‑only files (`hooks.server.js`, `+page.server.js`); prevents leaking secrets to the client.
|
||
- `$app/server` (e.g. the `read()` API) is likewise restricted to server‑side code.
|
||
- Make your own modules server‑only by naming them `*.server.js` or placing them in `src/lib/server/`; any public‑facing import chain to these files triggers a build error.
|
||
|
||
## Shallow routing
|
||
|
||
- Use `pushState(path, state)` or `replaceState('', state)` from `$app/navigation` to create history entries without full navigation; read/write `page.state` from `$app/state`.
|
||
- Ideal for UI like modals: `if (page.state.showModal) <Modal/>` and dismiss with `history.back()`.
|
||
- To embed a route’s page component without navigation, preload data with `preloadData(href)` then `pushState`, falling back to `goto`; note SSR and initial load have empty `page.state`, and shallow routing requires JS.
|
||
|
||
## Images
|
||
|
||
- Vite’s asset handling inlines small files, adds hashes, and lets you `import logo from '...png'` for use in `<img src={logo}>`.
|
||
- Install `@sveltejs/enhanced-img` and add `enhancedImages()` to your Vite config; use `<enhanced:img src="...jpg" alt="…"/>` to auto‑generate `<picture>` tags with AVIF/WebP, responsive `srcset`/`sizes`, and intrinsic dimensions.
|
||
- For CMS or dynamic images, leverage a CDN with Svelte libraries like `@unpic/svelte`; always supply high‑resolution originals (2×), specify `sizes` for LCP images, set `fetchpriority="high"`, constrain layout via CSS to avoid CLS, and include meaningful `alt` text.
