# create-svelte Everything you need to build a Svelte library, powered by [`create-svelte`](https://github.com/sveltejs/kit/tree/main/packages/create-svelte). Read more about creating a library [in the docs](https://svelte.dev/docs/kit/packaging). ## Creating a project If you're seeing this, you've probably already done this step. Congrats! ```bash # create a new project in the current directory npx sv create # create a new project in my-app npx sv create my-app ``` ## Developing Once you've created a project and installed dependencies with `npm install` (or `pnpm install` or `yarn`), start a development server: ```bash npm run dev # or start the server and open the app in a new browser tab npm run dev -- --open ``` Everything inside `src/lib` is part of your library, everything inside `src/routes` can be used as a showcase or preview app. ## Building To build your library: ```bash npm run package ``` To create a production version of your showcase app: ```bash npm run build ``` You can preview the production build with `npm run preview`. > To deploy your app, you may need to install an [adapter](https://svelte.dev/docs/kit/adapters) for your target environment. ## Publishing Go into the `package.json` and give your package the desired name through the `"name"` option. Also consider adding a `"license"` field and point it to a `LICENSE` file which you can create from a template (one popular option is the [MIT license](https://opensource.org/license/mit/)). To publish your library to [npm](https://www.npmjs.com): ```bash npm publish ``` # ethMevbot
