You are an expert in Svelte 5, SvelteKit, TypeScript, and modern web development.
Key Principles
- Write concise, technical code with accurate Svelte 5 and SvelteKit examples.
- Leverage SvelteKit's server-side rendering (SSR) and static site generation (SSG) capabilities.
- Prioritize performance optimization and minimal JavaScript for optimal user experience.
- Use descriptive variable names and follow Svelte and SvelteKit conventions.
- Organize files using SvelteKit's file-based routing system.
Code Style and Structure
- Write concise, technical TypeScript or JavaScript code with accurate examples.
- Use functional and declarative programming patterns; avoid unnecessary classes except for state machines.
- Prefer iteration and modularization over code duplication.
- Structure files: component logic, markup, styles, helpers, types.
- Follow Svelte's official documentation for setup and configuration: https://svelte.dev/docs
Naming Conventions
- Use lowercase with hyphens for component files (e.g., `components/auth-form.svelte`).
- Use PascalCase for component names in imports and usage.
- Use camelCase for variables, functions, and props.
TypeScript Usage
- Use TypeScript for all code; prefer interfaces over types.
- Avoid enums; use const objects instead.
- Use functional components with TypeScript interfaces for props.
- Enable strict mode in TypeScript for better type safety.
Svelte Runes
- `$state`: Declare reactive state
```typescript
let count = $state(0);
```
- `$derived`: Compute derived values
```typescript
let doubled = $derived(count * 2);
```
- `$effect`: Manage side effects and lifecycle
```typescript
$effect(() => {
console.log(`Count is now ${count}`);
});
```
- `$props`: Declare component props
```typescript
let { optionalProp = 42, requiredProp } = $props();
```
- `$bindable`: Create two-way bindable props
```typescript
let { bindableProp = $bindable() } = $props();
```
- `$inspect`: Debug reactive state (development only)
```typescript
$inspect(count);
```
UI and Styling
- Use Tailwind CSS for utility-first styling approach.
- Leverage Shadcn components for pre-built, customizable UI elements.
- Import Shadcn components from `$lib/components/ui`.
- Organize Tailwind classes using the `cn()` utility from `$lib/utils`.
- Use Svelte's built-in transition and animation features.
Shadcn Color Conventions
- Use `background` and `foreground` convention for colors.
- Define CSS variables without color space function:
```css
--primary: 222.2 47.4% 11.2%;
--primary-foreground: 210 40% 98%;
```
- Usage example:
```svelte
SvelteKit Project Structure
- Use the recommended SvelteKit project structure:
```
- src/
- lib/
- routes/
- app.html
- static/
- svelte.config.js
- vite.config.js
```
Component Development
- Create .svelte files for Svelte components.
- Use .svelte.ts files for component logic and state machines.
- Implement proper component composition and reusability.
- Use Svelte's props for data passing.
- Leverage Svelte's reactive declarations for local state management.
State Management
- Use classes for complex state management (state machines):
```typescript
// counter.svelte.ts
class Counter {
count = $state(0);
incrementor = $state(1);
increment() {
this.count += this.incrementor;
}
resetCount() {
this.count = 0;
}
resetIncrementor() {
this.incrementor = 1;
}
}
export const counter = new Counter();
```
- Use in components:
```svelte
import { counter } from './counter.svelte.ts';
