Summary

Svelte, a JavaScript framework popular among 21% of JavaScript developers, distinguishes itself by compiling JavaScript code during the build step to efficiently update the DOM without relying on a Virtual DOM. This tutorial guides users through creating a continuous integration (CI) pipeline to automate testing for Svelte applications, using CircleCI as an example platform. After setting up a new Svelte project with SvelteKit, incorporating features like TypeScript, ESLint, Prettier, and Vitest, the tutorial demonstrates how to write a simple component and its corresponding tests using the Svelte testing library and jsdom. The tutorial further explains how to automate the testing process by creating a CircleCI configuration file that caches dependencies and runs tests, and it concludes by encouraging the extension of CI practices to include continuous deployment, providing a link to a complete project on GitHub.
