We recommend usingSvelteKit, which lets youbuild almost anything. It’s the official application framework from the Svelte team and powered byVite. Create a new project with:

npx sv create myappcd myappnpm installnpm run dev

Don’t worry if you don’t know Svelte yet! You can ignore all the nice features SvelteKit brings on top for now and dive into it later.

Alternatives to SvelteKit

You can also use Svelte directly with Vite by runningnpm create vite@latest and selecting thesvelte option. With this,npm run build will generate HTML, JS, and CSS files inside thedist directory usingvite-plugin-svelte. In most cases, you will probably need tochoose a routing library as well.

Vite is often used in standalone mode to buildsingle page apps (SPAs), which you can alsobuild with SvelteKit.

There are alsoplugins for other bundlers, but we recommend Vite.

Editor tooling

The Svelte team maintains aVS Code extension, and there are integrations with various othereditors and tools as well.

You can also check your code from the command line usingsv check.
