Netlify

To deploy to Netlify, use adapter-netlify.

This adapter will be installed by default when you use adapter-auto, but adding it to your project allows you to specify Netlify-specific options.

Usage

Install with npm i -D @sveltejs/adapter-netlify, then add the adapter to your svelte.config.js:

svelte.config
import import adapteradapter from '@sveltejs/adapter-netlify';

export default {
	
kit: {
    adapter: any;
}
kit
: {
// default options are shown adapter: anyadapter: import adapteradapter({ // if true, will create a Netlify Edge Function rather // than using standard Node-based functions edge: booleanedge: false, // if true, will split your app into multiple functions // instead of creating a single one for the entire app. // if `edge` is true, this option cannot be used split: booleansplit: false }) } };

Then, make sure you have a netlify.toml file in the project root. This will determine where to write static assets based on the build.publish settings, as per this sample configuration:

[build]
	command = "npm run build"
	publish = "build"

If the netlify.toml file or the build.publish value is missing, a default value of "build" will be used. Note that if you have set the publish directory in the Netlify UI to something else then you will need to set it in netlify.toml too, or use the default value of "build".

Node version

New projects will use the current Node LTS version by default. However, if you’re upgrading a project you created a while ago it may be stuck on an older version. See the Netlify docs for details on manually specifying a current Node version.

Netlify Edge Functions

SvelteKit supports Netlify Edge Functions. If you pass the option edge: true to the adapter function, server-side rendering will happen in a Deno-based edge function that’s deployed close to the site visitor. If set to false (the default), the site will deploy to Node-based Netlify Functions.

svelte.config
import import adapteradapter from '@sveltejs/adapter-netlify';

export default {
	
kit: {
    adapter: any;
}
kit
: {
adapter: anyadapter: import adapteradapter({ // will create a Netlify Edge Function using Deno-based // rather than using standard Node-based functions edge: booleanedge: true }) } };

Netlify alternatives to SvelteKit functionality

You may build your app using functionality provided directly by SvelteKit without relying on any Netlify functionality. Using the SvelteKit versions of these features will allow them to be used in dev mode, tested with integration tests, and to work with other adapters should you ever decide to switch away from Netlify. However, in some scenarios you may find it beneficial to use the Netlify versions of these features. One example would be if you’re migrating an app that’s already hosted on Netlify to SvelteKit.

Redirect rules

During compilation, redirect rules are automatically appended to your _redirects file. (If it doesn’t exist yet, it will be created.) That means:

  • [[redirects]] in netlify.toml will never match as _redirects has a higher priority. So always put your rules in the _redirects file.
  • _redirects shouldn’t have any custom “catch all” rules such as /* /foobar/:splat. Otherwise the automatically appended rule will never be applied as Netlify is only processing the first matching rule.

Netlify Forms

  1. Create your Netlify HTML form as described here, e.g. as /routes/contact/+page.svelte. (Don’t forget to add the hidden form-name input element!)
  2. Netlify’s build bot parses your HTML files at deploy time, which means your form must be prerendered as HTML. You can either add export const prerender = true to your contact.svelte to prerender just that page or set the kit.prerender.force: true option to prerender all pages.
  3. If your Netlify form has a custom success message like <form netlify ... action="/success"> then ensure the corresponding /routes/success/+page.svelte exists and is prerendered.

Netlify Functions

With this adapter, SvelteKit endpoints are hosted as Netlify Functions. Netlify function handlers have additional context, including Netlify Identity information. You can access this context via the event.platform.context field inside your hooks and +page.server or +layout.server endpoints. These are serverless functions when the edge property is false in the adapter config or edge functions when it is true.

+page.server
export const const load: (event: any) => Promise<void>load = async (event) => {
	const const context: anycontext = event: anyevent.platform.context;
	var console: Console

The console module provides a simple debugging console that is similar to the JavaScript console mechanism provided by web browsers.

The module exports two specific components:

  • A Console class with methods such as console.log(), console.error() and console.warn() that can be used to write to any Node.js stream.
  • A global console instance configured to write to process.stdout and process.stderr. The global console can be used without calling require('console').

Warning: The global console object’s methods are neither consistently synchronous like the browser APIs they resemble, nor are they consistently asynchronous like all other Node.js streams. See the note on process I/O for more information.

Example using the global console:

console.log('hello world');
// Prints: hello world, to stdout
console.log('hello %s', 'world');
// Prints: hello world, to stdout
console.error(new Error('Whoops, something bad happened'));
// Prints error message and stack trace to stderr:
//   Error: Whoops, something bad happened
//     at [eval]:5:15
//     at Script.runInThisContext (node:vm:132:18)
//     at Object.runInThisContext (node:vm:309:38)
//     at node:internal/process/execution:77:19
//     at [eval]-wrapper:6:22
//     at evalScript (node:internal/process/execution:76:60)
//     at node:internal/main/eval_string:23:3

const name = 'Will Robinson';
console.warn(`Danger ${name}! Danger!`);
// Prints: Danger Will Robinson! Danger!, to stderr

Example using the Console class:

const out = getStreamSomehow();
const err = getStreamSomehow();
const myConsole = new console.Console(out, err);

myConsole.log('hello world');
// Prints: hello world, to out
myConsole.log('hello %s', 'world');
// Prints: hello world, to out
myConsole.error(new Error('Whoops, something bad happened'));
// Prints: [Error: Whoops, something bad happened], to err

const name = 'Will Robinson';
myConsole.warn(`Danger ${name}! Danger!`);
// Prints: Danger Will Robinson! Danger!, to err
@seesource
console
.Console.log(message?: any, ...optionalParams: any[]): void (+1 overload)

Prints to stdout with newline. Multiple arguments can be passed, with the first used as the primary message and all additional used as substitution values similar to printf(3) (the arguments are all passed to util.format()).

const count = 5;
console.log('count: %d', count);
// Prints: count: 5, to stdout
console.log('count:', count);
// Prints: count: 5, to stdout

See util.format() for more information.

@sincev0.1.100
log
(const context: anycontext); // shows up in your functions log in the Netlify app
};

Additionally, you can add your own Netlify functions by creating a directory for them and adding the configuration to your netlify.toml file. For example:

[build]
	command = "npm run build"
	publish = "build"

[functions]
	directory = "functions"

Troubleshooting

Accessing the file system

You can’t use fs in edge deployments.

You can use it in serverless deployments, but it won’t work as expected, since files are not copied from your project into your deployment. Instead, use the read function from $app/server to access your files. read does not work inside edge deployments (this may change in future).

Alternatively, you can prerender the routes in question.
