DrupalBrief: Drupal GovCon 2025 - micro apps within Drupal using Svelte and Vite

Send us a text

This podcast introduces the concept of micro apps within Drupal using Svelte and Vite to create dynamic front-end experiences. The speaker highlights Svelte's ease of use for JavaScript developers and Vite's benefits for an improved developer experience, such as hot module reloading. The core idea is to integrate independent, focused front-end applications directly into Drupal without requiring a full decoupled architecture. Drupal handles back-end functions like routing and data exposure via JSON API, while the micro app, built with Svelte, focuses on the user interface, components, and interactive elements. The talk details the integration process, including file structure, libraries.yml configuration, and the use of a vite.config file for managing build outputs and automating asset alignment, culminating in a demonstration of interactive dashboards and maps as examples of micro app capabilities.
