Svelte.js is a powerful JavaScript framework that allows you to build web components with ease. Unlike other frameworks, svelte.js operates at a lower level, so you can write efficient and lightweight components that can be used in any application.

In this blog post, we’ll walk through the process of creating a simple web component using svelte.js, and then we’ll show you how to use that component in a WordPress plugin. This will give you a solid foundation for creating and using your own web components in WordPress.

To get started, we’ll need to install svelte.js. If you’re using npm, you can simply run the following command:

npm install svelte

Once svelte.js is installed, we can create a new component using the following command:

npx svelte-cli init my-component

This will create a new directory called my-component that contains a skeletal svelte.js component. You can open this directory in your favorite text editor and start modifying the component to suit your needs.

Once you’ve created your component, you can use it in a WordPress plugin by adding the following code to your plugin’s index.php file:

function register_my_component() {
  wp_register_script(
    'my-component',
    plugins_url( 'my-component/public/build/bundle.js', __FILE__ ),
    array(),
    '1.0.0',
    true
  );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'register_my_component' );

This code registers your svelte.js component as a WordPress script, which makes it available to your plugin. To use the component in your plugin, simply add the following code wherever you want the component to appear:

That’s all there is to it! With just a few simple steps, you can create and use a web component using svelte.js in a WordPress plugin. This is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the power and flexibility of svelte.js, so be sure to check out the documentation and explore all the possibilities!
