Installation

bundle add svelte-on-rails
rails g svelte_on_rails:install

The installer is designed to be carefully and safe:

• First, it checks whether vite_rails is installed.
• Then it runs npm dependency checks in an isolated sandbox at
  tmp/svelte-on-rails-installer-sandbox-tests within the app:
  • It first tries to install the latest versions of the necessary packages.
  • If that fails, it tries to update vite and run the dependency checks again.
  • If that fails, it uses a hardcoded set of fixed versions.
• After all checks pass, it asks for confirmation before applying changes to your app.
• It does not overwrite existing files without asking, except option --force is passed.

Just follow the prompts.

The installer is designed to handle all, up from a virgin rails app, up from rails-6, together with the vite_rails gem.

For all normal cases, just add the gem and run the installer like described.

Installer options

The installer can be used with the options:

• --force
• --package-set
  • Force the installer to use a specific package-set (fallback automatism is skipped)
  • This is mainly written for internal testing purposes.
  • Available keys you can find on the :key attribute, within the candidate_sets on the repo
