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.

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

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.

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

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.

Domenik Reitzner had a dialog with his brave audience about the dialog element and how to integrate it with Svelte. He showed us the benefits of using the platform and what a11y(accessibility) benefits come out of the box, by using this HTML element.

Authentication Server-Side Rendered Single-Page Apps can be difficult. Antony looks to break down the simplest possible way of providing full SSR compatible authentication with JWT

Learn how to integrate FaunaDB into a SvelteKit application, featuring Shadid Haque from Fauna, hosted by Brittney Postma.

Brittney and Madz be checking out how to kickstart your Design System with Backlight.dev and how to use Svelte with it.

It's no secret that design systems are a popular topic. Eric Liu created Carbon Components Svelte along with Sveld (a docgen library for Svelte components). Brittney sits down to ask about pain points, tooling, and lessons learned from building one of the first component libraries for Svelte 3 and one that is open sourced by a big tech company.

The video introduces the Svelte Site Generator (SSG), a zero-configuration overlay for Sapper focused on static site generation.

Markus Hatvan (@hatvanmarkus) presented in the September 2020 MMT Tech Meetup (bit.ly/mmt-svelte) talking about his must-have features for a blog and how Sapper blog is super fast with loading elements like navigation earlier on before you click on them.
