Raw Blame History

title: What's new in Svelte: May 2021 description: Working toward SvelteKit 1.0 and a showcase full of SvelteKit sites! author: Daniel Sandoval authorURL: https://desandoval.net

Last week, Svelte Summit blew us away with a mountain of content! Check out the full recording or an audio-only (p)review on Svelte Radio. Now let's get into this month's news...

New features in the Svelte Compiler

  • :global() is now supported as part of compound CSS selectors (3.38.0, Example)
  • CSS custom properties can now be passed to components for use cases such as theming (3.38.0, Docs coming soon)

New in SvelteKit

  • kit.svelte.dev has a fresh new look and the SvelteKit Demo Site got a fresh set of paint. Check it out by running npm init svelte@next
  • You can now use @sveltejs/adapter-static to create a single-page app or SPA by specifying a fallback page (PR, Docs)
  • Disable Server-side Rendering (SSR) app-wide or on a page-by-page basis (PR, Docs)
  • Error messages thrown during pre-rendering are now much more informative and readable (PR, Docs)
  • Layouts can now be reset to prevent pages from inheriting the root layout. This is useful if you have a specific layout for a page or i18n variation (PR, Docs)
  • fetch in SvelteKit code will now use the environment-provided implementation, whenever possible. If fetch is unavailable, it will be polyfilled by adapters (PR, Docs)

New in Svelte & Language Tools

  • svelte-preprocess now supports the "extends" field of the tsconfig.json (4.7.2)
  • HTML style attributes now have hover & auto-complete. Foreign namespaces and ESM configs are now supported in the Svelte language server & extensions
  • The Svelte language tools can now infer slot/event types from their props if a generic relationship between them was defined
