Svelte 3 Up and Running

Want to learn Svelte 3 and how to build a Single-Page App (SPA) with it (and with this router)? Check out my book Svelte 3 Up and Running on Amazon.

# Svelte app with svelte-spa-router This is a project template for [Svelte 4](https://svelte.dev) apps that includes [svelte-spa-router](https://github.com/italypaleale/svelte-spa-router) for client-side routing, TypeScript, and Vite as bundler. ## About svelte-spa-router svelte-spa-router is a client-side router for Svelte 4 apps that leverages hash-based routing (i.e. stores the current view in the URL after the `#` symbol). You can read more about the router, and the reasons why you might want to use hash-based routing (or not), in the [documentation](https://github.com/italypaleale/svelte-spa-router). ## Get started Install the dependencies… ```bash cd svelte-app npm install ``` …then start a dev server using [Vite](https://vite.dev): ```bash npm run dev ``` Navigate to [http://localhost:5050](http://localhost:5050). You should see your app running. Edit a component file in `src`, save it, and reload the page to see your changes. You can add more routes by defining them in the [`src/routes.ts`](./src/routes.ts) file. More information can be found on the [documentation for svelte-spa-router](https://github.com/ItalyPaleAle/svelte-spa-router/blob/main/README.md). By default, the server will only respond to requests from localhost. To allow connections from other computers, edit the `vite` commands in package.json to include the option `--host 0.0.0.0`. If you're using [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/) we recommend installing the official extension [Svelte for VS Code](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=svelte.svelte-vscode). If you are using other editors you may need to install a plugin in order to get syntax highlighting and intellisense. ## Building and running in production mode To create an optimized version of the app: ```bash npm run build ``` You can run the newly-built app with `npm run preview`.
