Svelte Adapter Express

Svelte Kit adapter that provides an example express server.

Quickstart

To get a simple node express server with compression, static files, and SvelteKit rendering:

npm i -D @mankins/svelte-adapter-express

Add adapter to svelte.config.cjs:

const expressAdapter = require("@mankins/svelte-adapter-express");

module.exports = {
  kit: {
    adapter: expressAdapter(),
  },
};

Then:

npm run build

Which will generate ./build/index.js which can be run:

PORT=3000 node ./build/index.js

Custom Server

To run a customized server, start by copying the default server from the module:

mkdir -p adapter/express
cp node_modules/@mankins/svelte-adapter-express/files/server.js adapter/express

Edit the server.js to meet your needs.

Then at build time refer to this custom server:

When configuring the adapter in svelte.config.js, add a serverFile parameter:

import path from 'path';
const __dirname = path.resolve();
import expressAdapter from '@mankins/svelte-adapter-express';

module.exports = {
  kit: {
      	adapter: expressAdapter({
            serverFile: path.join(__dirname, './adapter/express/server.js')
        }),
  },
};

Build / Run as normal

npm run build
PORT=3000 node ./build/index.js
