Development Guide
Tip
Don't take anything here too seriously and have fun experimenting!
You're here to learn after all :)
Running npm run dev starts a local development server with hot reloading (so you can see changes immediately as you edit files)
Warning
This project uses custom router in
lib/Router.svelteDO NOT TOUCH unless you know what you're doing! If you want to tinker, then do. When it breaks it just doesn't load any pages
Styling
Look at src/app.css for global styles and CSS variables. Each Svelte component can also have its own styles scoped to that component
Variables are defined in :root
Add new ones only if they seem universal enough to be used in multiple places, don't add stuff like --space-100: -888px noone else will ever use that, if you really need it just add it to the component's own style block
Layout
Try to use the existing layout components in src/app.css as much as possible to keep things consistent across the site.
Note
These components are standard html components like h1, p, a, ul, li, etc but styled to fit the site's look and feel. Use html components defined in
src/app.cssunless you have a very good reason not to.
If there are no existing components that fit your needs, feel free to add new ones but try to keep them generic enough to be reused in other places. Extra styiling can be added in the component's own style block as needed.
Responsive design
There are also helper classes for responsive design:
desktop-only- hides content on mobile devicesmobile-only- hides content on desktop devices
These classes use media queries defined in src/app.css based on common breakpoints.
also things like .stack, .inline, .grid. Go look at src/app.css for what they do.
