Routing
- svelte:
sveltedoes not include a built-in routing solution, as it focuses on providing a framework for building components. Developers can integrate third-party routing libraries likesvelte-routingorsapperfor routing functionality. - @sveltejs/kit:
@sveltejs/kitprovides a powerful file-based routing system that automatically creates routes based on the file structure. It supports dynamic routes, nested routes, and API routes, making it easy to organize and manage application navigation.
Server-Side Rendering (SSR)
- svelte:
svelteitself does not handle server-side rendering, but it can be used with frameworks like@sveltejs/kitorsapperto enable SSR capabilities in Svelte applications. - @sveltejs/kit:
@sveltejs/kithas first-class support for server-side rendering, allowing pages to be rendered on the server and sent to the client as fully-formed HTML. This improves performance and SEO by providing content to search engines and users more quickly.
Static Site Generation (SSG)
- svelte:
sveltedoes not provide built-in static site generation features, but SSG can be achieved by using Svelte components within frameworks like@sveltejs/kit. - @sveltejs/kit:
@sveltejs/kitsupports static site generation out of the box, allowing developers to pre-render pages at build time. This results in fast, lightweight sites that can be easily deployed to static hosting providers.
API Routes
- svelte:
sveltedoes not include API routing capabilities, as it is primarily focused on the frontend. API routes can be implemented using a separate backend service or integrated within a framework like@sveltejs/kit. - @sveltejs/kit:
@sveltejs/kitallows developers to create API routes alongside their application routes. This makes it easy to build full-stack applications with both frontend and backend logic in a single codebase.
Code Example
- svelte:
Example of a simple Svelte component:
<script> let count = 0; function increment() { count += 1; } </script> <button on:click={increment}>Count: {count}</button> - @sveltejs/kit:
Example of a simple SvelteKit application with routing and API routes:
// src/routes/index.svelte <script> export let name = 'world'; </script> <h1>Hello {name}!</h1> // src/routes/api/hello.js export function get() { return { body: { message: 'Hello from the API!' } }; }
