SvelteKit Hooks: Intercepting Requests and Events
SvelteKit Hooks are like middleware, letting you intercept requests and events to run app-wide logic. Use them for tasks like authentication checks, initializing DB clients, or custom routing.
SvelteKit Hooks are app-wide functions that act like middleware, intercepting requests and framework events. This gives you fine-grained control to run code before SvelteKit's default behavior, like initializing a DB client on startup or checking auth on every server request. The footgun: The server `handle` hook runs on *every* request. If your logic doesn't explicitly return a `Response` or call `resolve(event)` to pass control back to SvelteKit, your application will hang for that request, effectively breaking it.
