Overview:

The Sapper template is a default template for the Sapper framework, available for both Rollup and webpack. It is a tool that allows you to scaffold a directory for your project. The template provides a structure and set of files that make it easier to get started with developing your app using Sapper.

Features:

• Rollup and webpack options: The Sapper template provides options for both Rollup and webpack, allowing you to choose the bundler that suits your needs.
• Easy installation: You can use the degit tool or GitHub’s template feature to quickly create a directory from the Sapper template repository.
• Development mode: Once you have the code, you can install dependencies and run the project in development mode. This allows you to test and preview your app locally.
• Sapper routes: The template includes a routes directory that allows you to define the routes for your app. You can create both pages and server routes, giving you flexibility in how you handle different types of requests.
• Static assets: The static directory in the template is used to store any static assets that should be available in your app. These assets can be easily served using sirv.

Installation:

To install the Sapper template, you can follow these steps:

1. Use degit to create a directory from the branch of the Sapper template you want to use. For example, for the Rollup version, you can run the following command:

   npx degit sveltejs/sapper-template#rollup my-app
   

2. Alternatively, you can use GitHub’s template feature by selecting the sapper-template-rollup or sapper-template-webpack repositories and creating a new repository from the template.

3. Once you have the code, navigate to the project directory and install the dependencies using your package manager of choice (e.g., npm or yarn):

   cd my-app
   npm install
   

4. After the dependencies are installed, you can run the project in development mode:

   npm run dev
   

5. Open your browser and navigate to localhost:3000 to access the app. You can now start clicking around and testing your Sapper app.

For more detailed instructions and help getting started, you can consult the official Sapper documentation at sapper.svelte.dev.
