Sveltekit and Pocketbase template

This is a template I created as a basis for a few of my own projects. It uses the latest stable version of SvelteKit (Svelte 4, but I plan to update to Svelte 5 when it is fully released), Pocketbase and Tailwind with DaisyUI.

Current features:

• Register via email
• Register via Google
• Light and dark mode toggle
• Uploading an avatar

Setup the backend

To set this up you'll need to download or clone this repo:

git clone https://github.com/kilroyjones/sveltekit-pocketbase

You'll need to download the Pocketbase executable appropriate for your system and place it in the backend folder. On Linux and similar systems you can run it as:

./pocketbase serve

You will then need to go to http://127.0.0.1:8090/_/ and set up your admin login and password. If you go to collections (left sidebar menu) you'll find there is already a default user's table. You can make the necessary modifications via the sidebar Settings and then do Import Collections using the backend/schema.json in the backend/ folder or you can modify it to match the following structure:

user {
  "id": <string>,
  "username": <string>,
  "email": <string>
  "email": <string>,
  "avatar": <string>,
  "avatarUrl": <string>,
  "created": <date>,
  "update": <date>
}

You will then need to set your Google Oauth credentials which you can get from your Google console. In Pocketbase you'll add these under Settings and Auth providers.

Setup the frontend

From the client folder run:

npm install

Next, you'll need to change template.env to .env and make sure it has the following to get local development working:

PUBLIC_DATABASE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8090
REDIRECT_URL=http://localhost:5173/account/oauth/

After you should be ready to go.

Making modifications

Since this is using DaisyUI you have access to different themes, which can be changed in ToggleLightDarkMode.svelte:

const dark = "synthwave";
const light = "cupcake";

Just make sure they're added in the tailwind.config.js:

daisyui: {
  themes: ["light", "dark", "cupcake", "synthwave"];
}
