svelte-tiny-spa
A tiny unframework for making SPAs in Svelte.
Overview
This library intercepts clicks on internal links and turns them into history.pushState() calls. The browser's location object is exposed through a Svelte store, which updates upon these intercepted clicks or on other popstate events. It also optionally provides a mechanism for hosts which do not support falling back to index.html for missing files.
Setup
If your host supports falling back to index.html for requests of all unknown files, you should use that feature. Copy location.js into your project, and you're done.
If your host does not support falling back to index.html
You'll use a custom 404 page that redirects to the root and encodes the original URL is a query parameter. The root page then rewrites the URL with history.replaceState().
Add 404.html to your project at the appropriate path. Uncomment the lines at the top of location.js to handle the rewrite after the redirection.
Usage
import location from '.../location.js';
This is a Svelte store containing the location object, and updates whenever a link click is intercepted or a popstate event occurs.
Interception occurs when all of the following are met:
- The link is same-origin
- The link does not have a
targetattribute - The link does not have a
downloadattribute - The link is left clicked
- Ctrl/Cmd/Shift are not pressed when clicking the link
