## Key Configuration Files

### package.json
**Scripts:**
- `npm run dev` - Start development server
- `npm run build` - Build for production
- `npm run preview` - Preview production build
- `npm run check` - Type check Svelte components

### Environment Variables (.env)
```
VITE_FIREBASE_API_KEY=...
VITE_FIREBASE_AUTH_DOMAIN=...
VITE_FIREBASE_PROJECT_ID=...
VITE_FIREBASE_STORAGE_BUCKET=...
VITE_FIREBASE_MESSAGING_SENDER_ID=...
VITE_FIREBASE_APP_ID=...

VITE_RAZORPAY_KEY_ID=...
VITE_ORGANIZATION_NAME=Sikh Aid Charitable Trust
VITE_SITE_URL=www.sikhaid.ngo
VITE_ENVIRONMENT=production
```

### tsconfig.json
- Strict mode enabled
- Module resolution: bundler
- Extends SvelteKit's generated config

### vite.config.ts
- Uses `@sveltejs/kit/vite` plugin
- Default Vite configuration

## Architecture Patterns

### Component Architecture
1. **Layout Components** - Root layout with Header/Footer
2. **Page Components** - Route-specific pages in `/routes`
3. **Feature Components** - Reusable sections (Hero, CampaignCarousel)
4. **UI Components** - Small reusable elements (PaymentForm, Modal)

### Data Flow Pattern
```
User Input → Svelte Store → Component Reactivity → UI Update
                ↓
        Firestore Write → Async Feedback
```

### Routing Pattern
- File-based routing: `/routeshttps://donate.sikhaid.ngo//+page.svelte` → `https://donate.sikhaid.ngo/`
- Dynamic routes: `/routes/campaigns/[slug]/+page.svelte` → `/campaigns/:slug`
- Nested layouts: `+layout.svelte` files for shared wrappers

### State Management Pattern
- Svelte writable stores for form data
- Store functions for actions (e.g., `setDonationAmount()`)
- Direct Firestore integration from components

## Development Workflow

### Setup
```bash
npm install              # Install dependencies
npm run dev             # Start dev server (http://localhost:5173)
```

### Type Checking
```bash
npm run check           # Check types across all files
npm run check:watch     # Watch mode for type checking
```

### Build & Deploy
```bash
npm run build           # Build for production (outputs to .svelte-kit/output)
npm run preview         # Preview production build locally
```

## Git Information
- **Current branch:** main
- **Recent commits:**
  - 545b459: admin route added. form submissions connected to firestore
  - 7c79783: firestore setup done and tested
  - 5424583: added volunteering and csr routes

## Design Philosophy
- **Mobile-first** responsive design with Tailwind breakpoints
- **Component reusability** - DRY principle throughout
- **Type safety** - TypeScript interfaces for all data structures
- **Progressive enhancement** - Works without JavaScript for core content
- **Accessibility** - Semantic HTML, ARIA labels, keyboard navigation

## Security Notes
⚠️ **Known Issues:**
- Admin password hardcoded in Footer.svelte (should use env var)
- Client-side session authentication (consider backend auth)
- Firebase config visible in browser (requires Firestore security rules)

## When to Use This Skill
- Setting up the project for the first time
- Understanding the overall architecture
- Locating where specific functionality lives
- Adding new major features or routes
- Configuring build tools or environment variables
