Svelte 5 Framework Skill

Quick Reference

Svelte 5 Runes

<script lang="ts">
  interface Props {
    title: string;
    items: Item[];
    onSelect?: (item: Item) => void;
  }

  let { title, items, onSelect }: Props = $props();

  let selected = $state<Item | null>(null);
  let filteredItems = $derived(items.filter(i => i.active));

  function handleSelect(item: Item) {
    selected = item;
    onSelect?.(item);
  }

  $effect(() => {
    console.log('Selected changed:', selected);
  });
</script>

<div>
  <h2>{title}</h2>
  <ul>
    {#each filteredItems as item (item.id)}
      <li => handleSelect(item)}>
        {item.name}
      </li>
    {/each}
  </ul>
</div>

API Integration with Litestar

<script lang="ts">
  import type { Item } from './generated/api';

  let items = $state<Item[]>([]);
  let loading = $state(true);

  async function fetchItems() {
    try {
      const response = await fetch('/api/items');
      items = await response.json();
    } finally {
      loading = false;
    }
  }

  $effect(() => {
    fetchItems();
  });
</script>

{#if loading}
  <p>Loading...</p>
{:else}
  <ul>
    {#each items as item}
      <li>{item.name}</li>
    {/each}
  </ul>
{/if}

Vite + Svelte Setup

// vite.config.ts
import { defineConfig } from 'vite';
import { svelte } from '@sveltejs/vite-plugin-svelte';
import { litestarVitePlugin } from 'litestar-vite-plugin';

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [
    svelte(),
    litestarVitePlugin({ input: ['src/main.ts'] }),
  ],
});

Svelte with Inertia.js

// main.ts
import { createInertiaApp } from '@inertiajs/svelte';
import { mount } from 'svelte';

createInertiaApp({
  resolve: (name) => {
    const pages = import.meta.glob('./pages/**/*.svelte', { eager: true });
    return pages[`./pages/${name}.svelte`];
  },
  setup({ el, App }) {
    mount(App, { target: el });
  },
});

SvelteKit Integration

// svelte.config.js
import adapter from '@sveltejs/adapter-static';

export default {
  kit: {
    adapter: adapter({
      fallback: 'index.html',
    }),
  },
};

Project-Specific Patterns

• Use Svelte 5 runes ($state, $derived, $effect, $props)
• TypeScript with strict mode
• Entry point: src/main.ts
