Meteor-Svelte starter package
This starter package is the outcome of work done to build an application system for both a software-as-a-service and for real time control (IoT if you prefer). This package provides a scaffolding structure to quickly build pages and includes a variety of components to add page specific functionality. This package is a partial port from a Meteor-Vue application in an attempt to reduce the bundle size and improve Time To First Byte (TTFB). This is also a major update from a previous version.
This Meteor-Svelte Starter Package is built on the most current technologies as of March 2023 using the latest releases of Meteor, MongoDb, Svelte and Goldilocks-CSS. It is also an opinionated view of the work that needs to get done. This package is clearly not for everyone nor does it try to accommodate the latest new ideas. This package is meant for business people / product managers that need to get outcomes quickly and can scale during the initial growth phase of a company.
We hope you find this package useful to jump start your exploration of Svelte running on Meteor.

This application is a Meteor distribution built with a minimal number of Atmosphere packages and
npm distributions. The key major frameworks are Meteor, Svelte and Goldilocks-CSS.
The application has also been structured to provide a fast load time.
It has been structured to create the smallest bundle and uses svelte, svelte-loadable, svelte-pathfinder for the client side front end. All icons are svg from Line-awesome and formatted as background images. These icons are packaged in Goldilocks-CSS as background icons. This allows for a reduced combined CSS and icon file size. CSS file caching improves the TTFB.
