Everything you need to build a SvelteKit project powered with Appwrite backend, starter powered by Increasio.

We'll update this starter template once we fix issue with installing metawrite package using npm install metawrite. But with this template it's easy to get latest version of our metawrite package because we still use npm.

Before developing install the metawrite package.

npm run metawrite

• If you have to package your own lib source the you can rename existing package folder or use another output directory for svelte-kit package.
• Also, if you're not using Docker or any CI/CD, custom workflows for deployment, then consider removing package folder from .gitignore file and run npm run metawrite before commiting or deployment.

Once you've installed Metawrite with npm run metawrite and installed other dependencies with npm install (or pnpm or yarn), start a development server:

npm run dev

# or start the server and open the app in a new browser tab
npm run dev -- --open

To create a production version of your app:

npm run build

You can preview the production build with npm run preview.

If you need build command:

docker-compose up --build

This is a good option for deployment, because starter template has all required configs to automatically install newest version of metawrite, all dependencies and start SSR server using Node.

You can add this template to your Appwrite Server configuration by pasting following on top of your Appwrite's docker-compose.yml services:

services:
  frontend:
    image: koodeau/sveltekit-metawrite
    container_name: frontend
    restart: unless-stopped
    env_file: .env
    environment:
      VITE_SITE_URL: ${VITE_SITE_URL}
      VITE_ENDPOINT_URL: ${VITE_ENDPOINT_URL}
      VITE_PROJECT_ID: ${VITE_PROJECT_ID}
      VITE_LOCALE: ${VITE_LOCALE}
    #   Add more env variables here
    volumes:
      - ./app:/srv/frontend
    ports:
      - "3000:3000"

And add following to your Appwrite's .env file:

VITE_SITE_URL=localhost
VITE_ENDPOINT_URL=http://localhost/v1
VITE_PROJECT_ID=example
VITE_LOCALE=en

Don't forget to change values to match your server configuration.

To deploy your app if you're not using Docker, you may need to install another adapter for your target environment.
