A SvelteKit example app demonstrating multiple authentication backend implementations with protected routes and API endpoints.
SvelteKit Auth Example is a reference implementation demonstrating how to add authentication to SvelteKit applications. It provides working examples of different authentication backends, protected routes, and API security patterns that developers can study and adapt. The project solves the problem of understanding authentication patterns in the SvelteKit framework by providing concrete, working code examples.
SvelteKit developers who need to implement authentication in their applications and want reference implementations to study. Frontend developers building full-stack applications with SvelteKit who need authentication patterns.
Developers choose this project because it provides clean, modular authentication examples specifically for SvelteKit with multiple backend options. The unique selling point is its abstraction layer that allows easy switching between different authentication adapters while maintaining consistent patterns.

Implements a configurable adapter system in src/lib/auth/index.ts, allowing easy switching between cookie-based demo and PocketBase backends, as highlighted in the README's setup section.
Uses SvelteKit's route groups for protected pages and form actions for login/signup, providing idiomatic examples that align with the framework's conventions.
Integrates the neverthrow library to handle exceptions gracefully in authentication flows, improving code reliability as demonstrated in the implementation.
Hosts a working demo at sveltekit-auth-example.pages.dev, enabling developers to quickly test and understand the auth patterns without local setup.
Explicitly marked as a work in progress and demo-focused; the cookie adapter is insecure for production, requiring significant modifications for real-world use.
Only supports cookie and PocketBase adapters, lacking integrations with popular services like Auth0, Supabase, or OAuth providers, which limits its utility.
Provides minimal explanatory text beyond code comments; developers must rely on reading and understanding the source code to adapt it for their projects.
