svelte-router

• Purpose: Svelte Router SPA is a routing library designed specifically for Svelte applications, focusing on Single Page Applications (SPA). It organizes routes in a centralized location and provides features for modern web applications with minimal configuration.

• Target Audience: Developers building Svelte-based SPAs who need a robust routing solution with features like nested routes, layouts, localization, and route guards.

• Key Features:

  • Centralized route definitions
  • Support for global, per-page, or nested layouts
  • Nested routes and named parameters
  • Localization support for multilingual routes
  • Route guards for protected routes
  • Route prefixing
  • Google Analytics integration (optional)
  • Standard <a> element support with enhanced <Navigate> component

• Svelte Support: Primarily designed for Svelte, with no additional framework support mentioned.

• Notable Capabilities:

  • Dynamic route matching with named parameters (e.g., show/:id)
  • Programmatic navigation via navigateTo
  • Route localization with language-specific paths
  • 404 handling with custom components
  • Current route information propagation via currentRoute object

• Localization: Supports multilingual routes through language-specific path definitions and automatic route conversion based on active language.

• Component API:

  • <Router>: Main component that manages route matching and rendering
  • <Route>: Used within layouts to render nested content
  • <Navigate>: Enhanced link component with active route detection
  • Helper functions like navigateTo, routeIsActive, and localisedRoute

• Example Use Case: The library is used in [Demanda](https://github.com/jorgegorka/demanda fa-solid fa-up-right-from-square), an open-source e-commerce platform with Svelte frontend.

• Development Status: Feature complete with only bug fixes being addressed (no new features planned).
