Unlock the Power of Svelte: A Beginner’s Guide to Building High-Speed Web Applications

Getting Started with Svelte

To begin, you’ll need:

• Familiarity with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
• A code editor like Visual Studio Code
• Node.js installed on your machine

You can access the source code on GitHub to follow along.

Installing Svelte and SMUI

First, we’ll install degit, a package that allows us to clone the latest commit from the Svelte Material UI GitHub repo. Run the following command in your terminal:

npx degit sveltejs/template my-app

Next, CD into the new file directory and run code., which will open your app folder in VS Code.

Adding Svelte Material UI to Your Project

To use SMUI in our Svelte project, we’ll install it by running the following command in our terminal:

npm install svelte-material-ui

SMUI provides a range of UI components, including checkboxes, menus, icons, and more. Let’s import the slider component into our application:

npm install smui-slider

Building a Simple To-Do List App

Using pre-built components from SMUI, we’ll create a simple to-do list application with a button for adding new tasks, a text field for user input, and a delete button for removing completed tasks.

Creating the Header Component

First, let’s create a new file called Header.svelte in our src/components folder. This will contain the UI for our application’s header.

Importing Components from SMUI

Next, we’ll import the Add button, Text field, and Delete button components from SMUI. We’ll also import the Material Icons library to retrieve the trash can icon for our Delete button.

Deploying Your Svelte App

Finally, we’ll deploy our Svelte app to Netlify or another site of your choice. Don’t forget to run npm run build in your terminal before deploying.

Our final app is a testament to the power of Svelte and SMUI. With these tools, you can create fast, efficient, and visually appealing web applications.

Note: I didn’t add any code snippets for the Svelte components as they were not provided in the original content. If you have the code, I can help you format it properly.
