SvelteKit: From Zero to Dev Server
Spin up a new SvelteKit app with `npx sv create`. This command scaffolds a project, prompting you to add tools like TypeScript. Then, `npm run dev` starts your dev server. The key footgun: forgetting to install dependencies before starting the server.
SvelteKit gets you from zero to a running dev server with one command: `npx sv create`. The interactive setup wizard scaffolds your project, asking if you want to add essentials like TypeScript. Once created, `cd` into the new directory and run `npm run dev` to launch a live-reloading server. Pages are just Svelte components in the `src/routes` directory. The most common mistake is running `npm run dev` before `npm install`, which will fail if you didn't install dependencies during the initial setup.
