Sveltekit Universal
A sveltekit template that builds for web, mobile & desktop from a single codebase
Overview
Sveltekit offers a powerful and flexible framework that allows developers to create applications running both on mobile and desktop platforms from a single codebase. By utilizing UniversalRun API endpoints and rendering via Server-Side Rendering (SSR), Sveltekit ensures that applications are efficient and provide a seamless user experience. This versatility is particularly appealing for developers looking to maintain streamlined development processes without sacrificing performance.
What's particularly impressive is the support for two distinct builds—one for Node and one for static scenarios. This approach allows developers to leverage the strengths of both environments, ensuring that their applications can handle various use cases efficiently, whether they are running on mobile devices or desktop systems.
Features
- Universal Run API Endpoints: Effortlessly integrates API endpoints suitable for both mobile and desktop applications, enhancing cross-platform functionality.
- Server-Side Rendering (SSR): Provides better initial load performance and SEO benefits by rendering pages on the server before sending them to the client.
- Dual Build System: Utilizes both Node and static builds, allowing flexible deployment options based on the application’s needs.
- Mobile Development Support: Fully compatible with Capacitor to facilitate mobile app development in conjunction with native functionalities.
- Desktop Application Capabilities: Leverages Tauri for building lightweight and performant desktop applications for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
- Development Environment Flexibility: Easily switch between dev modes to build and preview applications, ensuring a streamlined development workflow.
- Production Ready: The setup includes options to run a production Node server, ensuring that your applications are always ready for deployment.
- Local Toolchain Requirements: For mobile and desktop builds, necessary tooling (like Rust for Tauri) is clearly outlined, ensuring developers know what is needed upfront.
- 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
- Tailwind
Tailwind CSS is a utility-first CSS framework that provides pre-defined classes for building responsive and customizable user interfaces.
- daisyUI
daisyUI adds classes to Tailwind CSS for all common UI components. Classes like btn, card, etc. This allows us to focus on important things instead of making basic elements for every project.
- 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.
- Postcss
PostCSS is a popular open-source tool that enables web developers to transform CSS styles with JavaScript plugins. It allows for efficient processing of CSS styles, from applying vendor prefixes to improving browser compatibility, ultimately resulting in cleaner, faster, and 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.
