Frameworks are not tools for organizing your code, they are tools for organizing your mind. - Rich Harris
SvelteKit is a framework for rapidly developing robust, performant web applications using Svelte. If you’re coming from React, SvelteKit is similar to Next. If you’re coming from Vue, SvelteKit is similar to Nuxt.
Features
- File-Based Routing: Drop a file in
src/routes/(e.g.,+page.svelte), and boom—you've got a route. No config headaches. - Server-Side Rendering (SSR): Renders pages on the server to enhance performance and SEO, delivering faster initial page loads.
- Static Site Generation (SSG): Supports prerendering of pages at build time, enabling the creation of static sites for improved performance and scalability.
- Adaptable Rendering: Allows configurable rendering strategies, including SSR, CSR, and SSG, to suit various project requirements.
- Built-in Adapters:
Facilitates deployment on platforms like Netlify, Vercel, and Cloudflare Pages.

To create a new SvelteKit project, run the following command:
npx sv create folder_name
cd folder_name
npm run dev
Open src/routes/+page.svelte and replace its contents with
this:
<script lang="ts">
let count = $state(0); // Svelte 5 rune for reactive state
function increment() {
count += 1;
}
</script>
<h1>Welcome to SvelteKit</h1>
<p>Count: {count}</p>
<button on:click={increment}>Click Me!</button>
