Join us for the last few Svelte Summit videos where you'll learn about i18n and preprocessors!

Svelte has been described as an “accessibility-first-framework”, yet its compiler warnings cover only a fragment of the issues at hand. In this talk, I’d like to explore how accessible Svelte really is and more importantly, have a look at what you can do to bridge the gap. Ideas include checking both automatically and manually for issues the compiler might overlook, like color contrast, keyboard accessibility and semantics.

A weekly Svelte update from February 2024 covering changelog highlights, community showcase featuring Paraglide JS for internationalization, and discussions about Svelte 5 progress.

Changelog and Q&A with Rich Harris. The episode covers various updates and improvements in Svelte, including support for TypeScript type assertions, fixes for scoping classes, optimizations in the compiler, and enhancements in SSR (Server-Side Rendering) and CSS pruning.

Matthias tweeted a 20 line of code i18n library with Svelte and it went semi-viral: https://twitter.com/h_i_g_s_c_h/status/1344223132308164616

Things we did that svelte users are annoyed about

Svelte includes built-in animations that makes it easy to slide, scale, and fly elements in and out of the DOM. However, you need to be careful to not trigger motion sickness in your users. I will go over which Svelte transitions could cause accessibility issues and how to respect user motion preferences when using them.

The other side of SvelteKit

Rich Harris opens Svelte Summit with a short discussion and highlights some key moments and happenings throughout the years. Enjoy!

Routify 3 preview and walkthrough — app creation via CLI, plugin usage (Index By Name), Pico CSS integration, page ordering, and route metadata concepts. Build-time metadata generation, API data fetching (e.g., GitHub), Markdown-to-HTML conversion, dynamic routes and imports for SSR, navigation and multi-router features, and router state persistence.

A demo on how to setup internationalization in a SvelteKit project using the lightweight library typesafe-i18n.

The front end development landscape has been transformed since we started building Svelte and Sapper. What would a reimagined, truly modern workflow look like?

If you are building a Single-Page App (SPA), you will likely need a router for your app. With the lack of an official router for Svelte 3, there's quite a few options, so which one should you pick? In this talk, we'll look at the two different kinds of routers (based on the History API or based on the page's hash), how they differ, and when you should pick which. We'll also go through a demo of implementing routing for a Svelte 3 SPA using svelte-spa-router.
