Fullstack skeleton app with Svelte and tRPC (fully typed).

Fullstack example project with Svelte/Vite, Fastify & tRPC all in typescript.

As a showcase Login functionality via cookie/server-sessions.

If you like video tutorials, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lam0cYOEst8 walks you through a pretty similar setup (just with slightly different technologies like express, react, yarn workspaces, etc..).

Note: I'm not intending to update this a lot in the furture, but if you have meaningful contributions (like unifying the typescript setup or an env setup for real production) i happily accept pull requests!

A bit more thoughts on the setup at https://dev.to/o_a_e/fullstack-with-svelte-trpc-2cab.

Project Structure

It's a very simple monorepo setup with NPM workspaces. The frontend and backend folders are separated node modules, the root module just calls the relevant sub-modules tasks for convenience.

• frontend contains a typical Svelte/Vite setup which could be used and operated standalone.
• backend has a minimal fastify HTTP server and the actual backend logic is crafted in tRPC.

Development

During development 2 servers are started. Each one is refreshed/restarted automatically on relevant file changes.

• There is a standalone backend server (fastify).
• There is a standalone Vite server hosting the frontend. The frontend makes calls to the separate backend server.
• So you have to navigate to http://127.0.0.1:5173 to use the app.

Production

• Frontend files are compiled to /client/dist.
• Backend hosts the logic but also serves the client files.
• So you have to navigate to http://127.0.0.1:3000 to use the app.

Build

• npm install - Install node modules for all packages
• npm run dev - Starts the development servers (Use http://127.0.0.1:5173 for using the app)
• npm run start - Start production server (Use http://127.0.0.1:3000 for using the app)
