Svelte framework integration (similar to React/Solid)

[schickling]

It would be great to have a Svelte integration for LiveStore, similar to the existing React and Solid integrations. This would make it much easier for Svelte developers to use LiveStore in their projects and would help broaden the adoption of the library.

Additionally, Rich Harris (creator of Svelte) has mentioned that he might be interested in helping with the creation of a Svelte adapter, which could be a great opportunity to collaborate and ensure the integration is idiomatic for Svelte users.

Would love to discuss what an ideal Svelte integration would look like and how we can get started!

https://github.com/get-convex/convex-svelte/tree/main Convex has a decent implementation for Svelte, maybe there's something we can learn there

Hi @schickling -- I'm one of the Svelte Core maintainers working with Rich at Vercel. I'm taking a look into the source for the React and Solid integrations and will noodle on some ideas for a Svelte one. Get back to you soon! 🚀

Very excited to hear @elliott-with-the-longest-name-on-github! Let me know if you need any help!

FWIW documentation of what "contract" the client has to fulfill would be really helpful! I'm kinda working backwards from the docs and React/Solid libs, but a lot of what I'm figuring out is inference.

Also adding @stolinski's https://github.com/stolinski/zero-svelte as some maybe-helpful prior art here, since he went on the same journey to build svelte 5 bindings for zero based on the existing react bindings

@elliott-with-the-longest-name-on-github I'd suggest we try to coordinate next steps in detail via Discord. In order to make sure the Svelte integration covers all scenarios, we should work on livestorejs/livestore#326 in parallel.

Wow, I guess I am early enough to not be able to use this with my app since my app is being built in Svelte. Is there anyone actually doing this without direct Svelte Integration yet? Like a temporary Svelte bridge?

[elliott-with-the-longest-name-on-github]

@verioussmith it's not too hard, I would suggest looking at the web components / solid examples! You can wire everything up yourself without too much trouble.

@elliott-with-the-longest-name-on-github looking forward to seeing LiveStore support for Svelte with this "almost first party" contribution and playing around with it. Would surely be a great first step into the local-first world.

+1 for this, please and thanks @elliott-with-the-longest-name-on-github 🙏🏻

I see livestorejs/livestore#849 got merged a few months ago but the docs still direct me to this issue. Is there a beta/next release where we can use the Svelte integration?
