Overview

If you’re a developer looking to harness the power of SvelteKit alongside Electron, this template serves as an excellent starting point. It provides two configurations, allowing you to choose between using mainWindow.loadFile or electron-serve, which can streamline your app development process. Ensuring that your applications are both performant and capable of utilizing server-side rendering (SSR), this template leverages SvelteKit’s capabilities effectively.

The inclusion of critical options like prerender=true and ssr=true within the SvelteKit layout configuration ensures that the HTML is generated at build time and the correct pages are served immediately. This dual functionality provides a robust framework for building modern desktop applications, allowing developers to focus on crafting great user experiences.

Features
