What's new in Svelte: May 2023 New Ambassadors, a new ESLint plugin and a whole bunch of SvelteHack submissions Dani Sandoval https://dreamindani.com

Before we dive into the updates, there's a few announcements worth mentioning at the top:

New Svelte Ambassadors

Regular features of this newsletter and all-around great content creators for Svelte JoyOfCode and HuntaByte have been appointed as Svelte Ambassadors. Ambassadors are people who are well known for their helpfulness and contributions and for upholding Sveltes reputation as a friendly, welcoming community, and were deeply grateful for their involvement!

SvelteHack winners will be announced May 6th

In a just a few days, we'll find out who won SvelteHack - the Svelte Hackathon that took place between February 17th and April 17th. Tune in to Svelte Summit on May 6th to see if your favorite project was chosen 👀

Lots of submissions to the hackathon are featured in this month's showcase... but first, let's see what's new!

What's new in Svelte

  • style blocks now support CSS @container queries (3.58.0)
  • bind:innerText is now available for contenteditable elements (3.58.0)
  • A new accessability warning, a11y-interactive-supports-focus will now warn when interactive elements are not focusable (3.58.0)

For all the changes to the Svelte compiler, including unreleased changes, check out the CHANGELOG.

What's new in SvelteKit

  • When hot module reloading (HMR) is enabled, the page will reload after an error is fixed (1.14.0, #9497)
  • Two apps loaded into the same html page can now be loaded simultaneously in "embedded" mode (1.15.7, #9610)
  • Vite's compilation will now log warnings for packages that use the svelte field to resolve Svelte files differently than standard Vite resolve (vite-plugin-svelte@2.1.0, kit@1.15.8)

What's new in Language Tools

  • Support for <svelte:document> (#1958) and intellisense report for new bindings (#1957) (107.3.0)
  • The new fix-all menu option for the "Quick fix..." makes it easy to "Add all missing imports" and other detected errors (107.3.0, #1939)
  • We have a new and better official ESLint plugin! Previous support for Svelte in ESLint did not handle the template AST well, resulting in false positive/negatives and a high barrier to custom ESLint rules. This new official version is based on ota-meshi's svelte-eslint-parser and is ready for prime time. Try it out and share your feedback!
