learn.svelte.dev

A soup-to-nuts interactive tutorial on how to build apps with Svelte.

Setup

This repo uses pnpm.

Developing the app

First, run node scripts/create-common-bundle. This packages up everything that's needed to run a SvelteKit app (Vite, esbuild, SvelteKit, Svelte compiler, etc.) which can subsequently be unpacked on a server to create and run an instance of a SvelteKit application (which powers the output window of the tutorial). Then, run dev:

node scripts/create-common-bundle
pnpm dev

To build for production and run locally:

pnpm build
pnpm preview

Creating new tutorials

Tutorials live inside content. Each tutorial consists of a README.md, which is the text to the left, and app-a and app-b folders, which represent the initial and solved state. Files that stay the same can be omitted from app-b. Files are marked as deleted in app-b if they start with __delete. Folders that are marked as deleted in app-b if they contain a file named __delete.

Bumping tutorial dependencies

Bump the dependency (for example Svelte) in both the root and the content/common package.json. In the root do pnpm i (to update pnpm-lock.yaml), in content/common do npm i (to update package-lock.json).
