SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a comprehensive guide and best practices for developing modern web applications using Svelte 5, its new rune-based reactivity system, and the SvelteKit full-stack framework.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Svelte 5 Runes: Master $state, $derived, and $effect for fine-grained reactivity.
  • SvelteKit: Develop full-stack applications with routing, server load functions, and form actions.
  • Component Patterns: Learn about props, snippets, and shared state management.
  • Use Case: You are starting a new project and want to leverage the latest Svelte features for a highly performant and reactive user interface, or you need to migrate an existing Svelte 4 application to Svelte 5.

Quick Start

Use the svelte-development skill to create a new SvelteKit project with TypeScript support.

FAQPage Schema
How do I use Svelte 5 runes for fine-grained reactivity?

Svelte 5 runes like `$state`, `$derived`, and `$effect` provide fine-grained reactivity by explicitly declaring reactive variables, computed values, and side effects within your components.

How do I manage shared state in Svelte 5 components?

Manage shared state in Svelte 5 by extracting reactive logic into `.svelte.ts` files, allowing you to share state and functions across multiple components without prop drilling.

How do I build full-stack applications with SvelteKit?

Build full-stack SvelteKit applications using file-based routing, server load functions to fetch data, form actions for mutations, and API routes for backend endpoints.

Can I use TypeScript with SvelteKit projects?

Yes, you can create a new SvelteKit project with TypeScript support, enabling type-safe component props, load function returns, and server-side form action payloads.

What is the best way to migrate from Svelte 4 to Svelte 5?

Migrate from Svelte 4 to Svelte 5 by replacing previous reactivity syntax with the new runes system (`$state`, `$derived`, `$effect`) and updating component patterns to match the new API.

Does Svelte development work with Vitest for testing?

Yes, Svelte development integrates with Vitest for testing components, ensuring your reactive logic and UI elements function correctly within the SvelteKit application structure.
