Question 1

Is pocketbase-sveltekit-auth ready for production use?

Accepted Answer

No, it's a reference implementation designed for learning. For production, you'll need to add security measures, error handling, and extend features beyond basic auth, as it lacks optimizations and comprehensive testing.

Question 2

How do I customize the login page in pocketbase-sveltekit-auth?

Accepted Answer

Modify the Svelte components in the project's source files, such as the login.svelte page. Since it's a demo, you'll need to edit the HTML/CSS directly and adjust the PocketBase API calls as needed, following SvelteKit patterns.

Question 3

Can I use TypeScript with pocketbase-sveltekit-auth?

Accepted Answer

The project doesn't explicitly mention TypeScript, so you might need to convert it manually. Check the code for any types; it's likely vanilla JavaScript, requiring additional setup for TypeScript integration in SvelteKit.

Question 4

What's better for SvelteKit auth, PocketBase or Supabase?

Accepted Answer

PocketBase is lightweight and self-hosted, good for quick demos, while Supabase offers more features and scalability. This project helps with PocketBase, but for richer ecosystems, Supabase might be preferable, depending on your needs.

Question 5

How to handle user sessions in pocketbase-sveltekit-auth?

Accepted Answer

It uses PocketBase's built-in session management via API calls, as shown in the examples. For more control, you might need to implement SvelteKit's session handling or middleware, which isn't covered in depth here.

Question 6

Are there any security risks with pocketbase-sveltekit-auth?

Accepted Answer

As a basic demo, it may overlook best practices like input validation, CSRF protection, or secure token storage. Always audit and enhance security before using similar code in production applications.
