Title.
I’m going to use svelte and sveltekit. Most likely tailwind. Zod for validation.
Any tips and tricks/ideas, pits to watch for before I commit heavily into falling into them.
This project could potentially be in vue/react but in my opinion svelte is more appealing to me (specially because of stores)
If you’re handling any sensitive data, passwords, or private user data, DO NOT use stores. Stores should only be used on the client-side. Use event.locals to pass data around for the user on the server side instead. If you use a store on the server-side, you risk that data being exposed or used in other current users and browser session.
For form validation, check out SvelteKit form actions. Also, I personally find Yup to be easier to use than Zod
Learn about hooks if you need validation on page navigations
Could you explain an use case. I don’t understand what would need to be validated when navigating.
This is more protecting data.
For example if you have a page that only certain users can view. You can create a hook to validate their credentials every time they visit that page and redirect them out if necessary.
Same as any other project, just keep at it. Also styling as a prop is a bitch in svelte.
You know how in react, you can pass style to nested components with props? The classname/SX prop specifically? A tad harder to do in svelte.
I’d try using props for high-level component states (primary, secondary, disabled, loading, online, error, etc.) instead of one-off styles. Then your props will manage a bunch of styles and functionality all at once and you’ll stay a whole lot more organized. You can even have a settings/options prop that changes minor things if you’d like. Then, for one-off or edge-cases related to styling, you can use a css variable
