A lightweight, hash-based router for Svelte 5 single-page applications, optimized for static SPAs.
svelte-spa-router is a router library for Svelte 5 that enables client-side navigation in single-page applications using hash-based routing. It solves the problem of building static SPAs that don't require server-side processing for routing, allowing developers to create apps that work entirely from static files. The router provides a simple API for defining routes, handling parameters, and managing navigation.
Svelte 5 developers building static single-page applications, especially those who prioritize easy deployment without server configuration and where SEO is not a concern.
Developers choose svelte-spa-router for its minimal footprint, hash-based routing optimized for static SPAs, and straightforward integration with Svelte 5. Its focus on simplicity and lack of server dependencies make it a lightweight alternative to history-based routers.

Uses URL fragments for routing, enabling fully static SPA deployment without server-side configuration, as emphasized in the README for ease of setup.
Described as 'insanely simple to use' with a minimal footprint, requiring only a basic route definition object and a component import for quick setup.
Supports lazy-loaded components via the wrap method, allowing dynamic imports to reduce initial bundle size, as shown in the examples for performance optimization.
Leverages regexparam for parsing routes, supporting named parameters, wildcards, and custom regular expressions, offering versatility in route definitions.
Hash-based routing makes URLs less SEO-friendly, as the README admits it's 'ideal for apps where SEO isn't a concern,' limiting use in search-critical projects.
The router extracts but does not parse querystring parameters, requiring external libraries like URLSearchParams or qs, adding complexity for developers.
Being minimalist, it lacks out-of-the-box support for features like comprehensive route guards or nested routing, requiring custom work as noted in advanced usage.
