Overview

The Netlify Identity Demo in Svelte is a project that demonstrates how to integrate Netlify Identity, a third-party authentication service, into a Svelte application. It uses the Svelte v3 framework along with the svelte-routing library for client-side routing, and is hosted on Netlify. The project was bootstrapped with the Svelte template and is influenced by similar examples in React and Vue.

Features

  • Svelte v3: Utilizes the latest version of the Svelte framework.
  • svelte-routing: A declarative routing library specifically designed for Svelte, with support for server-side rendering (SSR).
  • Netlify Identity Widget: Integrates the Netlify Identity Widget into the application for authentication.
  • Netlify Hosting: The project is hosted on Netlify, providing fast and reliable hosting capabilities.
  • Local Storage: Uses the gotrue.user key in Local Storage to determine if a user is signed in, removing the need to manage Local Storage information separately.
  • Redirects: Implements functionality to redirect users to the protected page they were accessing before logging in, using a redirect URL stored in a Svelte store.

Installation

To install the Netlify Identity Demo in Svelte project, follow these steps:

  1. Clone the project repository.
  2. Run npx degit sveltejs/template <PROJECT_NAME> to bootstrap the project with the Svelte template.
  3. Install dependencies by running npm install.
  4. Consult the Netlify Identity Widget README for any additional configuration steps, particularly if using the widget locally.

If you encounter issues with email verification or confirmation, try resetting the locally stored Netlify Identity site by executing localStorage.removeItem('netlifySiteURL'); in your browser’s window.

Summary

The Netlify Identity Demo in Svelte showcases how to integrate Netlify Identity into a Svelte application. With features like client-side routing, authentication with the Netlify Identity Widget, and easy deployment on Netlify, this project provides a comprehensive example for developers looking to incorporate authentication into their Svelte projects.
