Svelte is a JavaScript framework for building user interfaces (UIs) that compiles your code into efficient JavaScript during the build process, resulting in better performance and smaller bundle sizes. Svelte focuses on reactive programming, where UI components update themselves when data changes, eliminating the need for a virtual DOM. Svelte Kit is an extension of Svelte that adds features like routing and server-side rendering, simplifying the creation of full-stack web applications. It provides file-based routing and supports server-side rendering, enabling faster initial page loads and improved search engine optimization. Svelte Kit combines client-side Svelte components with server-side rendering and serverless functions for a seamless development experience.
According to the Bun blog and changelog, Bun now supports SvelteKit! Bun is an incredibly fast JavaScript runtime, bundler, transpiler, and package manager — all in one. Similar to using npm, here’s how you can start a SvelteKit project with Bun:
$ bunx create-svelte my-app
