Template for Svelte?

[djyde]

I found that there is no template for Svelte in create-app. It is because no one contributes yet or another reason? I am willing to contribute one if needed.

I think that a svelte and svelte-ts template will eventually be added as it is at the same level as other frameworks. My understanding is that there is ongoing work for a plugin from people close to the team though, so it will be added once there are clear guidelines to what should be used. @djyde if you have a template already created, it would be useful to share it with others in the #svelte channel at https://chat.vitejs.dev/

Svelte requires dedicated plugin/HMR handling. AFAIK there are Svelte team members working on Svelte integrations which is why I didn't make one myself. I expect they should PR it at some point once they feel it's ready.

I expect we'll have something to share in the next week or two

SvelteKit is the official way to build Svelte apps and is built on Vite 2. It's not quite in beta yet. PRs are pending with Vite to add Windows support and TypeScript support for SvelteKit. Docs are not yet published, but are available in the repo. It uses a vite-plugin-svelte that could also be used with Vite without SvelteKit if desired
