In Svelte, routing refers to the process of mapping URLs to different views or pages within your application. There are several ways to handle routing in a Svelte app, and the approach you choose will depend on your specific needs and preferences.
One way to handle routing in Svelte is to use the svelte-routing library. To use svelte-routing, you will need to install it as a dependency in your project by running the following command:
npm install svelte-routing
Once svelte-routing is installed, you can use the Route component to define the different routes in your app. For example, to define a route that maps to the /home URL, you can use the following code:
<Route path="/home">
<Home />
</Route>
The Route component will render the Home component whenever the URL of the app matches the specified path. You can also use the Link component to create links that navigate to different routes within your app. For example:
<Link to="/home">Home</Link>
Another option for handling routing in Svelte is to use the sapper framework, which is built on top of Svelte and includes built-in support for routing. To use sapper, you will need to install it as a development dependency in your project by running the following command:
npm install --save-dev sapper
sapper uses a file-based routing system, where each route is defined by a corresponding file in the src/routes directory. For example, to define a route for the /home URL, you can create a src/routes/home.svelte file with the following content:
<h1>Welcome to the home page!</h1>
You can then use the Link component provided by sapper to create links that navigate to different routes within your app:
<Link to="/home">Home</Link>
