# svelte app
This is a project template for Svelte apps. It lives at
github.com.
To create a new project based on this template using degit:
```bash
npx degit sveltejs/template svelte-app
cd svelte-app
```
*Note that you will need to have Node.js installed.*
## Get started
Install the dependencies...
```bash
cd svelte-app
npm install
```
...then start Rollup:
```bash
npm run dev
```
Navigate to localhost:8080. You should see your app running. Edit a component file in `src`, save it, and reload the page to see your changes.
By default, the server will only respond to requests from localhost. To allow connections from other computers, edit the `sirv` commands in package.json to include the option `--host 0.0.0.0`.
If you're using Visual Studio Code we recommend installing the official extension Svelte for VS Code. If you are using other editors you may need to install a plugin in order to get syntax highlighting and intellisense.
## Building and running in production mode
To create an optimised version of the app:
```bash
npm run build
```
You can run the newly built app with `npm run start`. This uses sirv, which is included in your package.json's `dependencies` so that the app will work when you deploy to platforms like Heroku.
## Single-page app mode
By default, sirv will only respond to requests that match files in `public`. This is to maximise compatibility with static fileservers, allowing you to deploy your app anywhere.
If you're building a single-page app (SPA) with multiple routes, sirv needs to be able to respond to requests for *any* path. You can make it so by editing the `"start"` command in package.json:
```js
"start": "sirv public --single"
```
