00:02:13 Changelog 00:27:40 Showcase: formgator

Updates and changes in the Svelte ecosystem. Key topics include improvements to the migration script, fixes related to reactivity, CSS issues with has and not selectors, and enhancements to the Svelte compiler. @sheepdog/svelte aims to simplify asynchronous code management in Svelte applications. The library introduces tasks with various modifiers like debounce, queue, drop, keep latest, and restart to handle different scenarios of asynchronous operations.

Updates on Svelte 5.0.8, including new features like spring and tween classes, media query support, and improvements to if blocks. The episode also includes a community showcase on GPU-rendered components with the svader library, demonstrating how to create interactive shaders with Svelte.

Durable objects and a library related to PartyKit and durable objects. The changelog section discusses several updates, including reducing hydration comments, fixing bugs related to bind groups, and improving the handling of props IDs in Astro.

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.

Brittney Postma of CodingCat.dev shows us how to create a store with Svelte and setting it to local storage so that it persists through refresh!

Things we did that svelte users are annoyed about

Custom stores can be used to wrap transforming data to and from storage mechanisms, either inside the browser or outside. Here we demonstrate a couple of fun transforms that have practical and real-world use.

Vest is a powerful form validation framework inspired by the syntax and style of unit testing libraries like Mocha or Jest. It uses their declarative structure and makes it easy to write complex form validations that are also easy to read and maintain.

Finite state machines provide an elegant, powerful approach for modeling complex behavior, and are ideally suited to many UI components. Alas, existing JavaScript FSM implementations feel verbose and bloated alongside Svelte's elegant, minimalist syntax. No more! svelte-fsm is the Svelte-esque FSM library. Discover the joy and benefits of using svelte-fsm to manage your components' state.

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.

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