SvelteJS

A radical new approach to building user interfaces

At Durable Programming, we’re excited about SvelteJS and its potential to revolutionize front-end development. Svelte offers a fresh approach to building user interfaces, with benefits that can significantly improve both the development experience and end-user performance.

Why We Love Svelte

  1. Simplicity: Svelte’s syntax is clean and intuitive, making it easier to write and understand code.
  2. Performance: Svelte compiles your code at build time, resulting in smaller bundle sizes and faster runtime performance.
  3. No Virtual DOM: Unlike React or Vue, Svelte doesn’t use a virtual DOM, which can lead to better performance, especially on lower-powered devices.
  4. Less Boilerplate: Svelte requires less code to achieve the same results as other frameworks, leading to more maintainable codebases.
Svelte: Write less code, ship faster apps, and improve maintainability.

Svelte in Modern Web Stacks

We particularly love using Svelte in combination with other powerful technologies:

Svelte + SvelteKit

SvelteKit is to Svelte what Next.js is to React. It’s a framework for building web applications of all sizes, with a great developer experience and flexible rendering options.

Svelte + Inertia.js + Rails

This powerful combination allows us to leverage Rails’ robust backend capabilities while providing a smooth, SPA-like frontend experience with Svelte’s simplicity and performance.

Modern Front-End, Classic Backend Power: Combine Svelte’s simplicity with Rails’ robustness for a best-of-both-worlds approach.

Our Svelte Expertise

At Durable Programming, we’ve embraced Svelte and have successfully delivered several projects using it. Our team is well-versed in:

  • Building responsive and interactive UIs with Svelte
  • State management in Svelte applications
  • Server-side rendering with SvelteKit
  • Integrating Svelte with backend technologies like Rails
  • Optimizing Svelte applications for performance

Is Svelte Right for Your Project?

Svelte can be an excellent choice for many types of projects, especially those where performance is crucial or where you want to minimize the amount of JavaScript sent to the browser. It’s great for:

  • Single-page applications (SPAs)
  • Progressive web apps (PWAs)
  • Interactive data visualizations
  • Micro-frontends

However, every project is unique, and we’re here to help you determine if Svelte is the right fit for your specific needs.

Whether you’re starting a new project or looking to modernize an existing application, Durable Programming has the expertise to help you leverage the power of Svelte. Let’s discuss how we can use Svelte, potentially in combination with other technologies, to meet your business needs and create exceptional user experiences.
