Note

I'd like to share what svelte5-router is doing in the wild! If you're using it, please share your project with me by sending me a message on discord at @mateothegreat or just create a new issue and I'll add it to the list. 🙏

Installation

npm install @mateothegreat/svelte5-router

Now you can simply:

<a href="/dashboard" use:route>Dashboard</a>

By adding use:route you will prevent the page from reloading and instead let the router take the wheel 🤸. Peruse the rest of the documentation at docs/ for more details.

Note

Without use:route the website will be reloaded after opening a new route. To prevent this use goto() or use:route so only the Route element get's changed.

and /ship-it!

See actions.md#route for the deets..

Table of Contents

Note

Include llms.txt in your LLM prompt to get add rich context to your tasks by referencing https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mateothegreat/svelte5-router/refs/heads/main/llms.txt.

How it works

When the browser URL changes, the router instance is triggered. It then registers the route in the registry, evaluates the route matching, and resolves the route.
