Svelte is a revolutionary approach to building user interfaces, shifting the bulk of work from the browser to a compile step during app build. This results in pure, optimized JavaScript code with tiny bundles, eliminating the need for a virtual DOM or runtime framework. Svelte surgically updates the DOM, leading to exceptional performance characteristics.
This boilerplate aims to streamline the development of well-structured Svelte applications, providing a robust foundation with a comprehensive set of modern tools.
Key Features:
- Svelte: The core component framework, compiling code into efficient, framework-less vanilla JavaScript.
- Built-in Project CLI: Accelerate development by generating pages, components, actions, and reducers with simple commands.
- Sass/Scss: Enhance CSS with powerful features like variables, nested rules, and mixins for more maintainable stylesheets.
- PostCSS/Autoprefixer: Automatically add vendor prefixes to CSS rules, ensuring broad browser compatibility.
- Babel: Transpile next-generation JavaScript, including polyfills, for wider browser support.
- ESLint: Maintain code quality and consistency with a pluggable linting utility.
- .Env (dotenv): Securely manage environment variables, exposing them to the application's runtime configuration.
- Jest: A powerful JavaScript testing framework for robust unit and integration tests.
- Testing-library: Simplify DOM testing with Svelte components and applications, promoting user-centric testing practices.
- Webpack: A static module bundler optimizing assets for modern JavaScript applications.
- Fetch: A promise-based mechanism for making programmatic web requests, simplifying data fetching.
