Overview:

The Micro Svelte Compiler is a demonstration of how the Svelte.js compiler works under the hood. It provides insights into the various stages involved in the compilation process and the dependencies utilized.

Features:

• Compiler Stages: The compiler has multiple stages, including parsing the .svelte file, extracting code from <script> tags, determining props, generating JavaScript code, formatting the code, and printing the result to stdout.
• Dependencies: It utilizes similar dependencies to Svelte.js, such as acorn for parsing JavaScript, code-red for generating JavaScript AST, js-beautify for formatting JavaScript, and parse5 for parsing HTML tags.
• Usage: The compiler can be run on a .svelte file to generate a JavaScript file and host the component in the browser.

Installation:

To install the Micro Svelte Compiler, follow these steps:

1. Download and install the required dependencies:

npm install acorn code-red js-beautify parse5

Summary:

The Micro Svelte Compiler provides an in-depth understanding of the Svelte.js compiler’s inner workings. By following a series of stages, it demonstrates how code from <script> tags and non-<script> tags is parsed and processed to generate JavaScript code. With its ease of installation and usage, it is a valuable tool for developers looking to explore the Svelte.js compiler’s functionality.
