Svelte as a Component Framework
This decision record outlines the adoption of Svelte for building interactive UI components.
Decision made by site owner on 15.08.2023.
Context
The requirement for a modern, lightweight, and efficient framework for creating interactive user interfaces. It is required for dynamic components as Astro is focused on static-first components support.
Alternatives Considered
- React: Offers a large ecosystem but can be heavier on the client-side.
- Vue.js: Simplified development but slightly larger runtime.
Rationale
Svelte’s compile-time approach to building web applications results in highly efficient and optimized JavaScript, leading to faster load times and improved performance.
Implications
Enhanced user experience, reduced load times, and a more maintainable codebase.
