Notes

Using TypeScript

If you want to use baseUrl or path aliases within your tsconfig, you need to set up @rollup/plugin-alias to tell Rollup to resolve the aliases. For more info, see this StackOverflow question

Single-page app mode

By default, sirv will only respond to requests that match files in public. This is to maximise compatibility w/ static fileservers, allowing you to deploy your app anywhere

If you're building a single-page app (SPA) w/ multiple routes, sirv needs to be able to respond to requests for any path. You can make it so by editing the "start" command in package.json

"start": "sirv public --single"

Allow others to connect to hosted local app

By default, the server will only respond to requests from localhost. To allow connections from other computers, edit the sirv commands in package.json to include the option --host 0.0.0.0

Running Production mode locally

This uses sirv, which is included in your package.json's dependencies so that the app will work when you deploy to platforms like Heroku

IDE Advice

If you're using Visual Studio Code we recommend installing the official extension Svelte for VS Code. If you are using other editors you may need to install a plugin in order to get syntax highlighting and intellisense
