Overview
If you’re looking to start a project with Svelte in a Vite environment, this template is an excellent choice. It streamlines the setup process while providing a solid foundation for development, especially for those new to Vite and Svelte. Built to prioritize the developer experience, it emphasizes hot module replacement (HMR) and intelligent code completion, making the coding process smoother and more efficient.
This template is minimalistic, recognizing that simplicity is key for beginners. It also provides clear pathways for those interested in expanding their projects later on, particularly if they decide to transition to SvelteKit, which offers additional features and flexibility. With built-in support for popular tools and frameworks, it encourages a seamless transition to more complex projects if needed.
