[](https://www.npmjs.com/package/svelte) [](LICENSE.md) [](https://svelte.dev/chat) ## What is Svelte? Svelte is a new way to build web applications. It's a compiler that takes your declarative components and converts them into efficient JavaScript that surgically updates the DOM. Learn more at the [Svelte website](https://svelte.dev), or stop by the [Discord chatroom](https://svelte.dev/chat). ## Getting started You can play around with Svelte in the [tutorial](https://svelte.dev/tutorial), [examples](https://svelte.dev/examples), and [REPL](https://svelte.dev/repl). When you're ready to build a full-fledge application, we recommend using [SvelteKit](https://svelte.dev/docs/kit): ```sh npx sv create my-app cd my-app npm install npm run dev ``` See [the SvelteKit documentation](https://svelte.dev/docs/kit) to learn more. ## Changelog [The Changelog for this package is available on GitHub](https://github.com/sveltejs/svelte/blob/main/packages/svelte/CHANGELOG.md). ## Supporting Svelte Svelte is an MIT-licensed open source project with its ongoing development made possible entirely by fantastic volunteers.
