I'm used to using Express with a templating engine, like Handlebars. I want to start working with Svelte and SvelteKit, but I'm unsure how to start working with both. I am stuck on passing data to the frontend from the server. In Express, I'd normally connect to the database, and then pass the data to res.render, where the templating engine would then take over. So far, I think I have to run a handle function to pass the data, and then I can access it from my page. But it seems that the handle function runs for every request, and if all my pages require different data, does that mean I have to use a giant switch statement or something for every page?

Can anybody tell me if that's the right way to pass data over, or if there's a better way. Sorry, I'm fairly new to metaf rameworks and Svelte.
