SSR + Hydration with Svelte & Deno #

This project is an attempt at partial hydration using the Island pattern, using Svelte and Deno as the underlying technologies.

Head to mononykus.deno.dev to see it in action.

Warning

This is a Work-in-progress. If you want a production framework, look at SvelteKit or Astro

Todo list #

• Compile Svelte components
• Partial hydration
• Create a logo
• Serve assets with proper headers (mime, cache-control, etag, …)
• Add various hydration/foraging strategies
• Analyse performance (timings, comparison, web vitals, …)
• Continuous deployment
• Continuous integration
• Use <svete:head> and a static template
• Benchmark building hundreds of pages
• Add motivations section (no partial hydration, SvelteKit & Deno, Snel, etc.)
• Figure out how to build Island.svelte cleanly
• Figure out how to serve islands.js cleanly
• Handle nested islands
• Allow imports of svelte/store, svelte/motion, svelte/transition, svelte/animate and svelte/easing, but not svelte/register.
