Use Svelte components inside a React app
The react-svelte library allows developers to use Svelte components within React applications. It offers a basic integration between the two frameworks, allowing for the use of Svelte components in React without having to compile them into custom elements. This is particularly useful as React’s support for custom elements is somewhat lacking.
<slot>: The library currently doesn’t support the use of the <slot> element in Svelte components.To install the react-svelte library, follow the steps below:
Open your terminal or command prompt.
Navigate to your project directory.
Run the following command to install the react-svelte library:
npm install react-svelte
Once the installation is complete, you can import and use the react-svelte library in your React application.
import React from 'react';
import { SvelteComponent } from 'react-svelte';
const App = () => {
return (
<div>
<h1>React App</h1>
<SvelteComponent />
</div>
);
};
export default App;
In summary, the react-svelte library provides a convenient way to use Svelte components within React applications. It offers a basic integration between the two frameworks and allows for the seamless use of Svelte components without having to compile them into custom elements. However, there are some limitations, such as the inability to change the value of the Svelte component after the initial render and the lack of support for the <slot> element. Nonetheless, react-svelte can be a useful tool for developers looking to utilize the strengths of both React and Svelte in their projects.
