dev

Gro is designed to extend SvelteKit with helpful tools. It supports:

• frontends with SvelteKit and Vite
• Node libraries
• Node servers

usage

gro dev
gro dev --no-watch # outputs dev artifacts and exits without watch mode

To configure a project, see the config docs.

plugin

Plugins are objects that customize the behavior of gro build and gro dev. See plugin.md to learn more.

todo

• basics
• add API using esbuild to optionally bundle specific pieces to speed up development
• livereload CSS (and fix pop-in during dev)
• HMR
• probably support Rollup plugins in development, but how?
• improve loading speed with cache-control: immutable and import maps (on my machine Firefox is much slower than Chrome handling a module import waterfall, locally, and http2 didn't help)
