Overview
The Eleventy Plugin Svelte is an innovative tool that allows developers to harness the power of Svelte for creating static templates in Eleventy. This unique plugin aims to blend Svelte’s exceptional developer experience with the efficiency of Eleventy, allowing for a seamless development process. With its templating language and scoped CSS, users can elevate their static websites while enjoying all the familiar benefits of Svelte. However, it’s worth noting that this plugin is still a work in progress, indicating that some features may be subject to change or refinement.
Features
- Svelte Integration: Write your page templates directly as Svelte components, taking full advantage of Svelte’s capabilities and syntactic comfort.
- Scoped CSS: Utilize same-file scoped CSS with your Svelte components, ensuring easier styling management relevant to each specific component.
- Data Access: Access Eleventy data seamlessly within your Svelte components by exporting keys through a script tag, allowing for greater flexibility and data manipulation.
- CSS and Head Extraction: The plugin smartly extracts CSS from the
<style> tags and head elements from <svelte:head>, making it easy to use this content within your Eleventy layouts. - Static HTML Output: Currently outputs only static HTML and CSS without any client-side JavaScript, focusing on speed and simplicity for static websites.
- Future Enhancements: While the current version lacks client-side hydration, there are plans for adding this feature in future updates, expanding functional possibilities.
