What's new in Svelte: June 2022 Cancellable dispatched events, deeper {@const} declarations and more! Daniel Sandoval https://desandoval.net

With last month's Svelte Summit behind us, we're ready to apply everything we learned in this new month of June! Also new this month are some quality-of-life changes to createEventDispatcher, @const declarations and tons of progress toward SvelteKit 1.0.

Let's dive in!

What's new in Svelte

  • Custom events can now be cancelled in the createEventDispatcher function (3.48.0, Docs, PR)
  • The {@const} tag can now be used in {#if} blocks to conditionally define variables (3.48.0, Docs, PR)
  • Lots of bug fixes across <svelte:element>, animations and various DOM elements. Check out the CHANGELOG for a deeper dive!

What's new in SvelteKit

  • Vite 2.9.9 was released as one of the last Vite 2 releases. The Svelte team has been hard at work contributing to the the Vite 3 release to make the integration between SvelteKit and Vite smoother than ever (Vite 3.0 Milestone)
  • config.kit.alias lets you more easily declare a custom alias to replace values in import statements (Docs, PR)
  • Pages marked for prerendering will now fail during SSR at runtime (PR)

Breaking Changes

  • Requests to /favicon.ico will no longer be suppressed and will instead be handled as a valid route (PR)
  • AMP support has been moved to a separate @sveltejs/amp package (Docs, PR)
  • Generated types are now written to _types directories - update your imports accordingly (PR)
  • %svelte.head% and %svelte.body% are now %sveltekit.head% and %sveltekit.body% in app.html (Docs, PR)
  • LoadInput is now LoadEvent
  • Dropped support for Wrangler 1 in favor of Wrangler 2 (PR)
