SvelteKit Has a Free Full-Stack Framework — Build Fast Apps with Less Code

A React developer switched to Svelte for a side project. Same app, 40% less code. No useEffect, no useState, no useMemo. Just reactive variables.

SvelteKit is a free full-stack framework built on Svelte. Server-side rendering, routing, data loading - all with dramatically less boilerplate than React/Next.js.

What SvelteKit Offers for Free

  • Less Code - Svelte compiles away the framework, smaller bundles
  • File-Based Routing - Create a file, get a route
  • Server-Side Rendering - SSR, SSG, or both
  • Form Actions - Progressive enhancement for forms
  • Data Loading - Server and client data loading with type safety
  • Adapters - Deploy to Node, Vercel, Netlify, Cloudflare, static
  • Streaming - Stream server responses to client
  • Prerendering - Static site generation for any route

Quick Start

npx sv create my-app
cd my-app && npm install && npm run dev
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
<script>
  let count = $state(0)
</script>
<button onclick={() => count++}>
  Clicks: {count}
</button>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
