IDE docs and troubleshooting

What is Svelte Language Tools?

Svelte Language Tools contains a library implementing the Language Server Protocol (LSP). LSP powers the VSCode extension, which is also hosted in this repository. Additionally, LSP is capable of powering plugins for numerous other IDEs.

A .svelte file would look something like this:

<script>
    let count = $state(1);

    let doubled = $derived(count * 2);
    let quadrupled = $derived(doubled * 2);

    function handleClick() {
        count += 1;
    }
</script>

<button onclick="{handleClick}">Count: {count}</button>

<p>{count} * 2 = {doubled}</p>
<p>{doubled} * 2 = {quadrupled}</p>

Which is a mix of HTMLx and vanilla JavaScript (but with additional runtime behavior coming from the svelte compiler).

This repo contains the tools which provide editor integrations for Svelte files like this.
