Undecided yet what bundler to use? We suggest using SvelteKit, or Vite with vite-plugin-svelte.
npm install --save svelte svelte-loader
Configure inside your webpack.config.js:
...
resolve: {
// see below for an explanation
alias: {
svelte: path.resolve('node_modules', 'svelte/src/runtime') // Svelte 3: path.resolve('node_modules', 'svelte')
},
extensions: ['.mjs', '.js', '.svelte'],
mainFields: ['svelte', 'browser', 'module', 'main'],
conditionNames: ['svelte', 'browser', 'import']
},
module: {
rules: [
...
{
test: /\.(html|svelte)$/,
use: 'svelte-loader'
},
{
// required to prevent errors from Svelte on Webpack 5+, omit on Webpack 4
test: /node_modules\/svelte\/.*\.mjs$/,
resolve: {
fullySpecified: false
}
}
...
]
}
...Check out the example project.
The resolve.alias option is used to make sure that only one copy of the Svelte runtime is bundled in the app, even if you are npm linking in dependencies with their own copy of the svelte package. Having multiple copies of the internal scheduler in an app, besides being inefficient, can also cause various problems.
Webpack's resolve.mainFields option determines which fields in package.json are used to resolve identifiers. If you're using Svelte components installed from npm, you should specify this option so that your app can use the original component source code, rather than consuming the already-compiled version (which is less efficient).
Webpack's resolve.conditionNames option determines which fields in the exports in package.json are used to resolve identifiers. If you're using Svelte components installed from npm, you should specify this option so that your app can use the original component source code, rather than consuming the already-compiled version (which is less efficient).
If your Svelte components contain <style> tags, by default the compiler will add JavaScript that injects those styles into the page when the component is rendered. That's not ideal, because it adds weight to your JavaScript, prevents styles from being fetched in parallel with your code, and can even cause CSP violations.
A better option is to extract the CSS into a separate file. Using the emitCss option as shown below would cause a virtual CSS file to be emitted for each Svelte component. The resulting file is then imported by the component, thus following the standard Webpack compilation flow. Add MiniCssExtractPlugin to the mix to output the css to a separate file.
const MiniCssExtractPlugin = require('mini-css-extract-plugin');
...
module: {
rules: [
...
{
test: /\.(html|svelte)$/,
use: {
loader: 'svelte-loader',
options: {
emitCss: true,
},
},
},
{
test: /\.css$/,
use: [
MiniCssExtractPlugin.loader,
{
loader: 'css-loader',
options: {
url: false, // necessary if you use url('/path/to/some/asset.png|jpg|gif')
}
}
]
},
...
]
},
...
plugins: [
new MiniCssExtractPlugin('styles.css'),
...
]
...Additionally, if you're using multiple entrypoints, you may wish to change new MiniCssExtractPlugin('styles.css') for new MiniCssExtractPlugin('[name].css') to generate one CSS file per entrypoint.
Warning: in production, if you have set sideEffects: false in your package.json, MiniCssExtractPlugin has a tendency to drop CSS, regardless of whether it's included in your svelte components.
Alternatively, if you're handling styles in some other way and just want to prevent the CSS being added to your JavaScript bundle, use
...
use: {
loader: 'svelte-loader',
options: {
compilerOptions: {
css: false
}
},
},
...JavaScript source maps are enabled by default, you just have to use an appropriate webpack devtool.
To enable CSS source maps, you'll need to use emitCss and pass the sourceMap option to the css-loader. The above config should look like this:
module.exports = {
...
devtool: "source-map", // any "source-map"-like devtool is possible
...
module: {
rules: [
...
{
test: /\.css$/,
use: [
MiniCssExtractPlugin.loader,
{
loader: 'css-loader',
options: {
sourceMap: true
}
}
]
},
...
]
},
...
plugins: [
new MiniCssExtractPlugin('styles.css'),
...
]
...
};This should create an additional styles.css.map file.
You can specify additional arbitrary compilation options with the compilerOptions config key, which are passed directly to the underlying Svelte compiler:
...
use: {
loader: 'svelte-loader',
options: {
compilerOptions: {
// additional compiler options here
generate: 'ssr', // for example, SSR can be enabled here
}
},
},
...Install svelte-preprocess and add it to the loader options:
const sveltePreprocess = require('svelte-preprocess');
...
use: {
loader: 'svelte-loader',
options: {
preprocess: sveltePreprocess()
},
},
...Now you can use other languages inside the script and style tags. Make sure to install the respective transpilers and add a lang tag indicating the language that should be preprocessed. In the case of TypeScript, install typescript and add lang="ts" to your script tags.
This loader supports component-level HMR via the community supported svelte-hmr package. This package serves as a testbed and early access for Svelte HMR, while we figure out how to best include HMR support in the compiler itself (which is tricky to do without unfairly favoring any particular dev tooling). Feedback, suggestion, or help to move HMR forward is welcomed at svelte-hmr (for now).
Configure inside your webpack.config.js:
// It is recommended to adjust svelte options dynamically, by using
// environment variables
const mode = process.env.NODE_ENV || 'development';
const prod = mode === 'production';
module.exports = {
...
module: {
rules: [
...
{
test: /\.(html|svelte)$/,
use: {
loader: 'svelte-loader',
options: {
compilerOptions: {
// NOTE Svelte's dev mode MUST be enabled for HMR to work
dev: !prod, // Default: false
},
// NOTE emitCss: true is currently not supported with HMR
// Enable it for production to output separate css file
emitCss: prod, // Default: false
// Enable HMR only for dev mode
hotReload: !prod, // Default: false
// Extra HMR options, the defaults are completely fine
// You can safely omit hotOptions altogether
hotOptions: {
// Prevent preserving local component state
preserveLocalState: false,
// If this string appears anywhere in your component's code, then local
// state won't be preserved, even when noPreserveState is false
noPreserveStateKey: '@!hmr',
// Prevent doing a full reload on next HMR update after fatal error
noReload: false,
// Try to recover after runtime errors in component init
optimistic: false,
// --- Advanced ---
// Prevent adding an HMR accept handler to components with
// accessors option to true, or to components with named exports
// (from <script context="module">). This have the effect of
// recreating the consumer of those components, instead of the
// component themselves, on HMR updates. This might be needed to
// reflect changes to accessors / named exports in the parents,
// depending on how you use them.
acceptAccessors: true,
acceptNamedExports: true,
}
}
}
}
...
]
},
plugins: [
new webpack.HotModuleReplacementPlugin(),
...
]
}You also need to add the HotModuleReplacementPlugin. There are multiple ways to achieve this.
If you're using webpack-dev-server, you can just pass it the hot option to add the plugin automatically.
Otherwise, you can add it to your webpack config directly:
const webpack = require('webpack');
module.exports = {
...
plugins: [
new webpack.HotModuleReplacementPlugin(),
...
]
}It is advised to inline any css @import in component's style tag before it hits css-loader.
This ensures equal css behavior when using HMR with emitCss: false and production.
Install svelte-preprocess, postcss, postcss-import, postcss-load-config.
Configure svelte-preprocess:
const sveltePreprocess = require('svelte-preprocess');
...
module.exports = {
...
module: {
rules: [
...
{
test: /\.(html|svelte)$/,
use: {
loader: 'svelte-loader',
options: {
preprocess: sveltePreprocess({
postcss: true
})
}
}
}
...
]
},
plugins: [
new webpack.HotModuleReplacementPlugin(),
...
]
}
...Create postcss.config.js:
module.exports = {
plugins: [
require('postcss-import')
]
}If you are using autoprefixer for .css, then it is better to exclude emitted css, because it was already processed with postcss through svelte-preprocess before emitting.
...
module: {
rules: [
...
{
test: /\.css$/,
exclude: /svelte\.\d+\.css/,
use: [
MiniCssExtractPlugin.loader,
'css-loader',
'postcss-loader'
]
},
{
test: /\.css$/,
include: /svelte\.\d+\.css/,
use: [
MiniCssExtractPlugin.loader,
'css-loader'
]
},
...
]
},
...This ensures that global css is being processed with postcss through webpack rules, and svelte component's css is being processed with postcss through svelte-preprocess.
