How to setup a simple static website using Svelte (with login)

1

Tailwind CSS

Usually, one of the first things I do on creating a new web app is to throw a UI library in to help style components. There are several UI libraries that can be used by Svelte, but in this case I went with daisyUI because it's a fairly popular UI library which includes tailwind. To install daisyUI, you first need to install tailwind. There's a few different ways to do this (such as this guide), but the easiest way I've found is the following command, which also adds PostCSS and AutoPrefixer:.

Svelte

Svelte is an up and coming JavaScript framework being developed by Rich Harris (and the Svelte team). It's gained acclaim for being very simple to use, reducing boilerplate and generally being a nice platform to develop new web apps on. This article is an attempt to explain how you can leverage the power of Svelte to create modern static sites that can be hosted from simple file storage like S3 in AWS.

I talk about this in more detail in my article here, but I'm a big fan of adding pre-commit into my git repositories to help out.

AWS Mobile Services

Just about every cloud provider has their own implementation of a JavaScript library that can offload the complexity of writing your own implementation. For example, AWS has Amplify, GCP has Firebase and Azure has Identity. You can also use a more generic library like Auth.js. However, I'm going to go with Auth0 in this guide as I've not used this service before, and it's a slightly more "neutral" option than going for a service offered directly by a cloud provider. Additionally, Auth0 will allow you to get started without needing to add a credit card, which makes it useful for demonstrations.

Animista

While Svelte has a pretty good built-in library of animations, if I do need some more custom animations, I don't actually use a library, but I do use Animista to pick out something which works for me.
