Day 1/100

Date: 07/01/23

Goal:

Make a simple portfolio + blog site using SvelteKit for my anon account

Today's Progress:

  • build was quite easy, just followed the docs - https://kit.svelte.dev/docs/creating-a-project
    • changed the main page html, but missing a style atm (another future task)
    • started looking at CI/CD using Github Actions
      • first needed to build to static using an [adapter-static] (https://www.npmjs.com/package/@sveltejs/adapter-static)
      • Svelte also has an adapter-auto
        • added setup by following the module docs
        • getting an error about not all routes being prerendered (clue for the failed deployment)
    • added a Github Action to build and deploy the site
      • currently not showing anything
        • probably relate to the above
        • also there's no index.html in the /out folder

Challenges:

  • CI/CD deployment is currently giving a 404, but ran out of time for today

Thoughts:

  • Cloudflare Pages deployment works by default, worth a try
  • SvelteKit seems really nice
    • Super fast to build
    • The deployment Github Action I used was from a static Next.js build and worked just fine
  • Playwright tests are very nice
  • /out folder is 93kb, love that I can build this precompressed with brotli and gzip
  • Glad that I spent some time to make a bash script that allows me to configure the repos with my anon credentials
    • need to look at a VM in the future
  • Used the Github Projects view a lot
    • very, very nice to use as a board and as a spreadsheet
  • Also using a proper flow
    • Issues --> Branches --> PRs
