What is an SVELTE file?
A SVELTE file is a source code file meant to be compiled using the Svelte application framework. It contains HTML that has been extended using Svelte-specific syntax. SVELTE files can be opened in any text editor, but are meant to be opened in source code editors.
More Information
Svelte is an open-source JavaScript-based application framework that allows developers to create web applications. Whereas other JavaScript-based application frameworks, such as React and Vue, allow developers to create applications that are compiled largely in-browser, Svelte allows developers to create applications that are compiled prior to being rendered in a browser. This allows Svelte web applications to load and run more quickly than React and Vue applications.
Source code files written using Svelte syntax are saved in SVELTE files. A SVELTE file may contain an application's top-level code or an application component.
How to open an SVELTE file
Because SVELTE files are plain text files, you can open them in any text editor, such as Microsoft Notepad (Windows) or Apple TextEdit (Mac). However, if you plan to edit a SVELTE file, you should open it in a source code editor, such as Microsoft Visual Studio Code (cross-platform) or Github Atom (cross-platform), ideally with a Svelte extension installed. With a Svelte extension installed, source code editors will highlight Svelte syntax correctly.
