What is Svelte and how do I get started with it?

Svelte is a modern JavaScript framework for building user interfaces. Unlike other frameworks, Svelte shifts much of the work to compile time, resulting in faster applications. To get started, you can visit the official Svelte website and follow the tutorial.

What are the main features of Svelte?

Some main features of Svelte include reactivity, a simple syntax, and no virtual DOM. It compiles your components into highly efficient JavaScript at build time.

Can you show me a simple example of a Svelte component?

Sure! Here's a simple Svelte component:

<script>
  let name = 'world';
</script>

<h1>Hello {name}!</h1>
<input bind:value={name} />

This component displays a greeting and allows you to change the name dynamically.

How do I set up a Svelte project?

You can set up a Svelte project using the Svelte template. Run the following command in your terminal:

npx degit sveltejs/template svelte-app
cd svelte-app
npm install
npm run dev

This will create a new Svelte project and start a development server.
