Installation

There are three ways, how to start using svelte-chota. Recomendended one:

Install packages

You should install three packages:

• chota - css framework itself
• svelte-chota - Svelte components for chota
• rollup-plugin-postcss - allows import css files inside your components and pack it in the bundle.

npm install -D chota svelte-chota rollup-plugin-postcss

Rollup config

Open the rollup.config.js file and edit the config as shown:

...
// import postccs plugin at the top of the file
import postcss from 'rollup-plugin-postcss';
....

const production = !process.env.ROLLUP_WATCH;

export default {
    ...
    plugins: [  
        ...
        svelte({
            ...
            // REPLACE
            //   css: css => {
            //      css.write('public/bundle.css');
            //   }
            // BY:
            emitCss:true
        }),
        // add the postccs plugin
        postcss({
			extract: true,
			minimize: production,
			sourceMap: !production
		}),
        ...
    ]

There we adding PostCSS plugin to pack all component's incapsulated CSS and imported CSS files in a single bundle.css

<script>
    import {Button} from 'svelte-chota';
    let button_text = 'Hover me';
</script>

<Button 
    on:mouseenter={ e => button_text="Don't touch me!" }
    on:mouseleave={ e => button_text="Ok, hover me again" }
>{button_text}</Button>
