Let’s be honest: lots of things in web development are harder than they should be. Some days, it can seem as though everything in the frontend world is needlessly over-engineered and convoluted. By Josh Collinsworth.
At a basic level, you could think of Svelte as a frontend user interface (UI) framework akin to React, Vue, etc. Svelte is the newest of the big names in the space, however, and it definitely seems as though it’s learned from the others, in terms of both developer experience and optimization.
The article then covers:
- What is Svelte?
- How is Svelte different?
- Comparing Svelte to React and Vue
- Build over browser
- Authoring Svelte components
- CSS in Svelte
- Props and component communication
- What to know about Svelte
