Command Line Interface

SvelteKit projects use Vite, meaning you'll mostly use its CLI (albeit via npm run dev/build/preview scripts):

• vite dev — start a development server
• vite build — build a production version of your app
• vite preview — run the production version locally

However SvelteKit includes its own CLI for creating distributable packages and initialising your project:

svelte-kit packagepermalink

svelte-kit package is currently experimental and is not subject to Semantic Versioning rules. Non-backward compatible changes may occur in any future release.

See packaging. svelte-kit package accepts the following options:

• -w/--watch — watch files in src/lib for changes and rebuild the package

svelte-kit syncpermalink

svelte-kit sync creates the generated files for your project such as types and a tsconfig.json. When you create a new project, it is listed as the prepare script and will be run automatically as part of the npm lifecycle, so you should not ordinarily have to run this command.
