Capkit

Overview

The CapKit CLI is a command-line interface that simplifies the process of configuring Capacitor with SvelteKit. It allows users to set up Capacitor for their SvelteKit app quickly, making it easy to build and deploy native mobile applications as well as progressive web apps.

Features

• Simplifies Capacitor configuration: The CapKit CLI streamlines the process of configuring Capacitor with SvelteKit, saving developers time and effort.
• Supports native mobile apps: CapKit enables users to build and deploy native mobile applications using Capacitor and SvelteKit.
• Supports progressive web apps: In addition to native mobile apps, CapKit also supports the creation of progressive web apps.
• Hot reloading: Developers can enable hot reloading when working with native applications and their respective IDEs (Android Studio or Xcode).
• API access: CapKit provides an API for programmatically using its functionalities, allowing for integration into custom tooling or extending its capabilities.

Installation

Before installing CapKit, it is important to note that building native applications requires the use of the Adapter Static due to how Capacitor works. However, for progressive web apps, any adapter can be used.

To install CapKit and get started with the CLI, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to your existing SvelteKit project.

2. Run the following command, depending on your preferred package manager:

   • npm: npm install -g capkit-cli
   • pnpm: pnpm install -g capkit-cli
   • yarn: yarn global add capkit-cli
   • bun: bun add capkit-cli

3. Upon running the command, you will be prompted with a series of questions to configure your project optimally.

Summary

The CapKit CLI simplifies the process of configuring Capacitor with SvelteKit, allowing users to quickly set up Capacitor for their SvelteKit app. With features such as support for native mobile apps and progressive web apps, hot reloading, and an API for programmatically using CapKit, developers can efficiently build and deploy their applications.
