Snel is a tool/framework that allows you to compile .svelte components into JavaScript files, enabling you to create web applications using Deno and Svelte. It offers features such as simple setup, quick compilation, hot reloading, import map support, built-in support for SCSS and LESS, and support for TypeScript.

Installation

To start using Snel, you need to run the installation command. Instead of using Deno install to install Snel, you should run a script provided by Snel itself. This is because Snel uses several tools to enhance the development experience. Snel’s installation script installs all the necessary tools, so you can focus on creating your application.

If you prefer to use trex to execute Snel instead of installing it, you will need to make some changes to the scripts inside the run.json file.
