This is the repository for the LinkedIn Learning course Svelte: First Look. The full course is available from LinkedIn Learning.
JavaScript frameworks and libraries keep growing, sprouting increasingly more dependencies along the way. Svelte—a new, lightweight component framework—marches into this tangle with a brush cutter, trimming down the weeds to provide a core set of key functionalities with zero dependencies. In this course, join Ray Villalobos as he helps you get up to speed with Svelte, explaining how to use it to create apps that please your users without making them wait. Learn how Svelte differs from frameworks like Angular and React, as well as how to use styles and preprocessors with Svelte, work with data across multiple components, use lifecycle methods to load data, and more.
Psst — looking for a shareable component template? Go here --> sveltejs/component-template
This is a project template for Svelte apps. It lives at https://github.com/sveltejs/template.
To create a new project based on this template using degit:
npx degit sveltejs/template svelte-app
cd svelte-appNote that you will need to have Node.js installed.
Install the dependencies...
cd svelte-app
npm install...then start Rollup:
npm run devNavigate to localhost:5000. You should see your app running. Edit a component file in src, save it, and reload the page to see your changes.
By default, the server will only respond to requests from localhost. To allow connections from other computers, edit the sirv commands in package.json to include the option --host 0.0.0.0.
