What's new in Svelte: November 2022 Better forms, routes and inline styles across SvelteKit and Svelte Dani Sandoval https://dreamindani.com

It's been a busy October for the Svelte community. use:enhance and Advanced Routes got some great improvements in SvelteKit while the Svelte compiler released a minor version to improve the day-to-day dev experience.

There's also a huge showcase to cover... so let's jump in!

What's new in SvelteKit

  • The new update method for use:enhance lets you easily get back the default form behavior while augmenting it with your own logic (docs, #7083 and #7326)
  • [[optional]] parameters are now available for routing (docs, #7051)
  • goto now has invalidateAll to (re-)run all load functions belonging to the new active page (docs, #7407)
  • config.kit.paths.base is now used in adapters looking for static assets - fixing 404 issues across adapter-netlify, adapter-vercel, adapter-cloudflare, and adapter-cloudflare-workers (#4448)

Breaking changes:

  • Errors will now be thrown when routes conflict (#7051)
  • The global fetch override has been removed when prerendering (#7318)
  • Route IDs have been prefixed with / (#7338)

Svelte changes

  • New accessibility warnings, a11y-click-events-have-key-events and a11y-no-noninteractive-tabindex, will now warn when your components lack required key events or tabindex. While a11y-role-has-required-aria-props will no longer warn when elements match their semantic role (3.51.0)
  • --style-props are now supported on <svelte:component> and <svg> (3.51.0, Component Example: Before and After, SVG Example: Before and After)
  • "nullish" values for component event handlers are now supported (3.51.0, Example)
  • Scoped styles can now be applied to <svelte:element> (3.51.0, Example)
  • You can now use important in inline style tags: style:foo|important (3.52.0, #7365)
  • A warning will now be thrown when using <a target="_blank"> without rel="noreferrer" (3.52.0, #6188)

Tom Smykowski also released a great summary of all the changes in 3.52.0! For all the changes to the Svelte compiler, including upcoming changes, check out the CHANGELOG.
