What's new in Svelte: May 2022 Dynamically switch between HTML element types with `<svelte:element>` Dani Sandoval https://dreamindani.com

With yesterday's Svelte Summit behind us, we've got a lot of news to share! Check out all of the recordings on the Svelte Society YouTube Channel and the rest of this month's updates below...

What's new in Svelte

  • The <svelte:element> element lets you render an element of a dynamically specified type. This is useful, for example, when rendering rich text content from a CMS. Check out the docs or the tutorial for more info (3.47.0)!

Language Tools updates

  • svelte:element and sveltekit:reload are now supported
  • Invalid Svelte import paths will now be automatically detected - see PR for getting back the old behavior (#1448)
  • source.sortImports lets you sort imports without deleting unused imports (#1338)
  • Hovering over HTML attributes will now show HTML hover info instead of the TS hover info - resulting in much more useful information (#1447)
  • In VS Code, you can now wrap existing blocks of code in control flow tags using the Insert Snippet command (#1373)

What's new in SvelteKit

  • Files and directories can now be named __tests__ and __test__ in the routes directory (#4438)
  • Netlify Edge Functions (#4657) and the Vercel build output API (#4663) are now supported
  • Custom load dependencies, array of strings representing URLs the page depends on, are now available when loading routes (Docs, #4536)

Breaking Changes

  • Validators are now called "matchers" (Docs, #4358)
  • __layout.reset has been replaced by named layouts - which have much configurability for shared layout elements (Docs, #4388)
  • Prerendering is now skipped for rel="external" links (#4545)
  • maxage is now cache in LoadOutput (#4690)
