Sveltekit Superforms
Making SvelteKit forms a pleasure to use!
Overview
Superforms is a library that aims to make validation and displaying of forms in SvelteKit more user-friendly and efficient. It provides several features such as seamless merging of PageData and ActionData, server- and client-side data validation using Zod, auto-centering and auto-focusing on invalid form fields, and tainted form detection to prevent data loss. The library also offers support for nested data structures, multiple forms on the same page, and works both on the server and with single-page applications (SPA). Superforms can be easily customized and comes with a Super Debugging Svelte Component.

- Svelte
Svelte is a modern front-end framework that compiles your code at build time, resulting in smaller and faster applications. It uses a reactive approach to update the DOM, allowing for high performance and a smoother user experience.
- Vite
Vite is a build tool that aims to provide a faster and leaner development experience for modern web projects
- SCSS
SCSS is a preprocessor scripting language that extends the capabilities of CSS by adding features such as variables, nesting, and mixins. It allows developers to write more efficient and maintainable CSS code, and helps to streamline the development process by reducing repetition and increasing reusability.
- Eslint
ESLint is a linter for JavaScript that analyzes code to detect and report on potential problems and errors, as well as enforce consistent code style and best practices, helping developers to write cleaner, more maintainable code.
- Typescript
TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, providing optional static typing, classes, interfaces, and other features that help developers write more maintainable and scalable code. TypeScript's static typing system can catch errors at compile-time, making it easier to build and maintain large applications.
