I'm new to Svelte. Quick question:
Is there a CLI for the Svelte compiler, and how do I access it?
I understand Svelte has a preconfigured setup that uses rollup and what not
for building an app. That's all good, but I only need the CLI for transforming
a svelte file to pure js file. Something like:
svelte compile input.svelte --out=out.js
Update It seems like there is no CLI for the Svelte compiler. However, a brief outline of the compilation process is available here. In particular,the following code snippet, which can be used to build CLI.
result: {
js,
css,
ast,
warnings,
vars,
stats
} = svelte.compile(source: string, options?: {...})
For Svelte 3 there is no official CLI.
You'll either write one:
#!/usr/bin/env node
import { compile } from "svelte/compiler";
const filename = process.argv[2];
const result = compile(filename, { filename });
process.stdout.write(result.js.code);
and customize that one to your exact needs.
But most cases an existing build tool is a better option
and for most build tools there is plugin or loader available for Svelte.
