At this time (Jan 2024) Svelte 5 is still experimental. You may see some warnings when
npm installing.
This is a project template for Svelte (v5) apps. It lives at https://github.com/colinbate/svelte-ts-tailwind-template and is based on the official Svelte template via create-vite with TypeScript selected and Tailwind CSS added via svelte-add. The dependencies were then updated to latest (as of the latest commit). It is getting pretty easy to get this stack working without this template, but may save you a bit of time.
Note that this isn't a SvelteKit app, this is a vanilla Svelte template with the above mentioned technologies pre-installed. Now that SvelteKit is production ready, it is an option you may want to consider for any larger apps.
To create a new project based on this template using degit:
npx degit colinbate/svelte-ts-tailwind-template#svelte5 svelte-app
cd svelte-appAlternatively, if you are currently on GitHub, you can click the "Use this template" button at the top of this page. (This doesn't seem to work for non-primary branches)
Note that you will need to have Node.js >=18 installed.
Install the dependencies...
cd svelte-app
npm install...then start Vite:
npm run devNavigate to localhost:5173. You should see your app running. Edit a component file in src, save it, and reload the page to see your changes.
To create an optimised version of the app:
npm run buildYou can serve up the newly built app with npm run preview. This allows you to ensure nothing was damaged in the production build process.
You can then host the app with whichever static host you prefer.
