# Svelte + TS + Vite | ||
# briefsky | ||
|
||
This template should help get you started developing with Svelte and TypeScript in Vite. | ||
briefsky is a free weather frontend to a variety of weather providers, with an interface reminiscent of the late Dark Sky. | ||
|
||
## Recommended IDE Setup | ||
briefsky supports the following weather providers: | ||
|
||
[VS Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/) + [Svelte](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=svelte.svelte-vscode). | ||
- [Open-Meteo](https://open-meteo.com) (default) | ||
- [Visual Crossing](https://www.visualcrossing.com/) | ||
- [Tomorrow.io](https://www.tomorrow.io/) | ||
- [Pirate Weather](https://pirateweather.net/) | ||
- [WeatherFlow](https://weatherflow.com/) | ||
|
||
## Need an official Svelte framework? | ||
Some weather providers may require a free API key. | ||
|
||
Check out [SvelteKit](https://github.com/sveltejs/kit#readme), which is also powered by Vite. Deploy anywhere with its serverless-first approach and adapt to various platforms, with out of the box support for TypeScript, SCSS, and Less, and easily-added support for mdsvex, GraphQL, PostCSS, Tailwind CSS, and more. | ||
## Building | ||
|
||
## Technical considerations | ||
Install packages: | ||
|
||
**Why use this over SvelteKit?** | ||
|
||
- It brings its own routing solution which might not be preferable for some users. | ||
- It is first and foremost a framework that just happens to use Vite under the hood, not a Vite app. | ||
|
||
This template contains as little as possible to get started with Vite + TypeScript + Svelte, while taking into account the developer experience with regards to HMR and intellisense. It demonstrates capabilities on par with the other `create-vite` templates and is a good starting point for beginners dipping their toes into a Vite + Svelte project. | ||
|
||
Should you later need the extended capabilities and extensibility provided by SvelteKit, the template has been structured similarly to SvelteKit so that it is easy to migrate. | ||
|
||
**Why `global.d.ts` instead of `compilerOptions.types` inside `jsconfig.json` or `tsconfig.json`?** | ||
|
||
Setting `compilerOptions.types` shuts out all other types not explicitly listed in the configuration. Using triple-slash references keeps the default TypeScript setting of accepting type information from the entire workspace, while also adding `svelte` and `vite/client` type information. | ||
``` | ||
$ npm install | ||
``` | ||
|
||
**Why include `.vscode/extensions.json`?** | ||
Run local development server: | ||
|
||
Other templates indirectly recommend extensions via the README, but this file allows VS Code to prompt the user to install the recommended extension upon opening the project. | ||
``` | ||
$ npm run dev | ||
``` | ||
|
||
**Why enable `allowJs` in the TS template?** | ||
Build production bundle: | ||
|
||
While `allowJs: false` would indeed prevent the use of `.js` files in the project, it does not prevent the use of JavaScript syntax in `.svelte` files. In addition, it would force `checkJs: false`, bringing the worst of both worlds: not being able to guarantee the entire codebase is TypeScript, and also having worse typechecking for the existing JavaScript. In addition, there are valid use cases in which a mixed codebase may be relevant. | ||
``` | ||
$ npm run build | ||
``` | ||
|
||
**Why is HMR not preserving my local component state?** | ||
Preview production bundle: | ||
|
||
HMR state preservation comes with a number of gotchas! It has been disabled by default in both `svelte-hmr` and `@sveltejs/vite-plugin-svelte` due to its often surprising behavior. You can read the details [here](https://github.com/rixo/svelte-hmr#svelte-hmr). | ||
``` | ||
$ npm run preview | ||
``` | ||
|
||
If you have state that's important to retain within a component, consider creating an external store which would not be replaced by HMR. | ||
Format, lint, and check: | ||
|
||
```ts | ||
// store.ts | ||
// An extremely simple external store | ||
import { writable } from 'svelte/store'; | ||
export default writable(0); | ||
``` | ||
$ npm run format && npm run lint && npm run check | ||
``` | ||
|
||
## Unsupported Providers | ||
|
||
briefsky strives to support free weather providers with open APIs or with free | ||
API keys. However, some providers are missing weather data needed by the | ||
frontend, or lack sufficient weather data with a free API key. Below is a list | ||
of currently unsupported weather providers: | ||
|
||
- [National Weather Service](https://www.weather.gov/documentation/services-web-api) | ||
- Missing usable condition icons | ||
- Missing sunrise/sunset data | ||
- [OpenWeather](https://openweathermap.org/api) | ||
- Missing free daily forecast in standard API | ||
- Missing sufficient free hourly forecast in one Call API (only 48 hours free) | ||
- [Meteomatics](https://www.meteomatics.com/en/weather-api/) | ||
- Does not support CORS | ||
- Missing apparent temperature, humidity, and dewpoint in free parameters | ||
- [Weatherbit](https://www.weatherbit.io/) | ||
- Missing free hourly forecast | ||
- [Weatherstack](https://weatherstack.com/) | ||
- Missing free daily and hourly forecast | ||
- [Accuweather](https://developer.accuweather.com/) | ||
- Missing sufficient free hourly forecast (only 12 hours free) | ||
- [Stormglass.io](https://stormglass.io/) | ||
- Does not provide daily forecast | ||
