Create a blog with Svelte and DEV.to API

#svelte #javascript #tutorial #blog

We are going to create a Blog using dev.to API for retrieving our posts and finally deploy it with Now.

Demo: https://jpblanco.dev
Source: https://github.com/JPBlancoDB/svelte-blog

First step: Scaffolding our app.

Let's scaffold our new project with Sapper by cloning their repo as their official guide dictates:

npx degit "sveltejs/sapper-template#rollup" my-app
# or: npx degit "sveltejs/sapper-template#webpack" my-app
cd my-app
npm install
npm run dev
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

In this case, I've chosen webpack but it is really up to you. This is not going to affect the rest of the post neither I'm going to explain differences between bundlers.

Then, it would be:

npx degit "sveltejs/sapper-template#webpack" svelte-blog
cd svelte-blog
npm install
npm run dev
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

If we go to http://localhost:3000 we should see that everything is working as expected (and also Borat 😂).

Lastly, let's remove all the files we are not going to use (at least, it is not within this article).

rm -rf cypress cypress.json src/components/Nav.svelte src/routes/blog/ src/routes/about.svelte
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Second step: Fix the base template

As we've removed src/components/Nav.svelte, we should fix the layout by removing the dependency in our _layout.svelte file.

<style>
  main {
    position: relative;
    max-width: 56em;
    background-color: white;
    padding: 2em;
    margin: 0 auto;
    box-sizing: border-box;
  }
</style>

<main>
  <slot />
</main>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

And we could also add a global title for our blog, this could be achieved by adding svelte:head tag to our component:

<svelte:head>
  <title>Juan Pablo Blanco - Blog</title>
</svelte:head>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

The svelte:head element allows you to insert elements inside the <head> of your document.

You could read more about svelte:head in the official doc: Svelte Head

So the end result would be:

<style>
  main {
    position: relative;
    max-width: 56em;
    background-color: white;
    padding: 2em;
    margin: 0 auto;
    box-sizing: border-box;
  }
</style>

<svelte:head>
  <title>Juan Pablo Blanco - Blog</title>
</svelte:head>

<main>
  <slot />
</main>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Third step: Home template

This blog is going to be really simple and we only need an index. My idea behind this is just to fetch the article's summary from the API and then show these in our home with a link to dev.to.

I've created a quick wireframe using Wireframe as reference:

Article wireframe

So, let's start by doing the template for our articles:

//src/routes/index.svelte

<a href="/">
  Oct 10
  <h1>Svelte Create the Blog</h1>

  <div class="tags">
    <span class="tag">#svelte</span>
    <span class="tag">#javascript</span>
  </div>

    src="https://practicaldev-herokuapp-com.freetls.fastly.net/assets/reactions-stack-ee166e138ca182a567f74c986b6f810f670f4d199aca9c550cc7e6f49f34bd33.png" />
  <span>10</span>

  <img

  <span>3</span>

</a>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

You will notice that is not the same as our wireframe. Let's add some CSS to our template.

<style>
  a {
    text-decoration: none;
  }
  .card {
    padding: 20px;
    margin-bottom: 10px;
    border: 2px solid #bababa;
    box-shadow: 3px 3px 0px #bababa;
  }
  .tags {
    margin: 10px 0;
  }
  .tag {
    border-radius: 100px;
    background-color: #eaeaea;
    padding: 2px 8px;
    margin-right: 10px;
  }

  @media (max-width: 640px) {
    .tag {
      margin-right: 5px;
      font-size: 0.6rem;
    }
  }
  .article-engagement {
    margin-right: 20px;
  }
  .article-engagement img {
    height: 20px;
    min-width: 26px;
    vertical-align: -5px;
  }
  .flex-container {
    display: flex;
  }
</style>

<a href="/">
  <div class="card">

        <span>10</span>
      </div>

        <span>3</span>
      </div>

    </div>
  </div>
</a>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Ok, I think now is better.

Article template

Fourth step: Get articles from the API

Let's use DEV.to API for fetching all our articles, this way we are going to publish our posts in DEV.to platform and automatically is going to be shown in our blog 💪 😎.

We could find documentation on how to use the API here: Docs API

For summarize, if we only want to fetch articles we could just do a GET request without any extra authentication or step:

curl https://dev.to/api/articles?username=jpblancodb
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

The API response is:

[

    }
  }
]
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Let's add this API call into our index.svelte to fetch all our articles by adding a script tag:

<script context="module">
  export async function preload() {
    const res = await this.fetch(
      `https://dev.to/api/articles?username=jpblancodb`
    );
    return { articles: await res.json() };
  }
</script>

<script>
  export let articles;
</script>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

We are using preload, this loads data before the component gets rendered, then we return { articles } and this is going to be passed as a prop to the component export let articles;

More about preload: Sapper preload

From the response of the API we are only going to use the following properties:

[
  {
    "title": "There's a new DEV theme in town for all you 10x hackers out there (plus one actually useful new feature)",
    "description": "",
    "readable_publish_date": "Oct 24",
    "tag_list": [
      "meta",
      "changelog",
      "css",
      "ux"
    ],
    "canonical_url": "https://dev.to/devteam/there-s-a-new-dev-theme-in-town-for-all-you-10x-hackers-out-there-plus-one-actually-useful-new-feature-2kgk",
    "comments_count": 37,
    "positive_reactions_count": 142
  }
]
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Finally, we need to make our template dynamic.

<script context="module">
  export async function preload() {
    const res = await this.fetch(
      `https://dev.to/api/articles?username=jpblancodb`
    );
    return { articles: await res.json() };
  }
</script>

<script>
  export let articles;
</script>

<style>
  a {
    text-decoration: none;
  }
  .card {
    padding: 20px;
    margin-bottom: 10px;
    border: 2px solid #bababa;
    box-shadow: 3px 3px 0px #bababa;
  }
  .tags {
    margin: 10px 0;
  }
  .tag {
    border-radius: 100px;
    background-color: #eaeaea;
    padding: 2px 8px;
    margin-right: 10px;
  }
  .article-engagement {
    margin-right: 20px;
  }
  .article-engagement img {
    height: 20px;
    min-width: 26px;
    vertical-align: -5px;
  }
  @media (max-width: 640px) {
    .tag {
      margin-right: 5px;
      font-size: 0.6rem;
    }
  }
</style>

{#each articles as article}
  <a href={article.canonical_url}>
    <div class="card">
      {article.readable_publish_date}
      <h1>{article.title}</h1>

      <div class="tags">
        {#each article.tag_list as tag}
          <span class="tag">#{tag}</span>
        {/each}
      </div>

      <p>{article.description}</p>

      <div class="flex-container">
        <div class="article-engagement">
          <img
            alt="Reactions"
            src="https://practicaldev-herokuapp-com.freetls.fastly.net/assets/reactions-stack-ee166e138ca182a567f74c986b6f810f670f4d199aca9c550cc7e6f49f34bd33.png" />
          <span>{article.positive_reactions_count}</span>
        </div>

        <div class="article-engagement">
          <img
            alt="Comments"
            src="https://practicaldev-herokuapp-com.freetls.fastly.net/assets/comments-bubble-9958d41b969a1620c614347d5ad3f270ab49582c1d9f82b617a6b4156d05dda0.png" />
          <span>{article.comments_count}</span>
        </div>

      </div>
    </div>
  </a>
{/each}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Let's modify our global.css for customizing our styles;

body {
  margin: 0;
  font-family: Roboto, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Segoe UI, Oxygen,
    Ubuntu, Cantarell, Fira Sans, Droid Sans, Helvetica Neue, sans-serif;
  font-size: 16px;
  line-height: 1.5;
  color: #333;
}
h1 {
  margin: 0;
  font-weight: 400;
  line-height: 1.2;
  font-size: 2rem;
}
p {
  font-size: 1.2rem;
}
a {
  color: inherit;
  text-decoration: none;
}
.flex-container {
  display: flex;
}
@media (max-width: 640px) {
  body {
    font-size: 14px;
  }
  h1 {
    font-size: 1.2rem;
    margin: 0;
  }
  p {
    font-size: 0.9rem;
    line-height: normal;
  }
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Fifth step: Adding a header to our template

For getting our blog ready, we could add a header with our name, description. As this is going to be static, you could just add whatever you prefer. Here is mine! If you want to share yours, you could do it in the comments section 😃!

//src/components/Header.svelte
<style>
  header {
    padding: calc(1.4vw + 8px) 0px;
    position: relative;
    overflow: hidden;
    width: 72em;
    max-width: 92%;
    margin: 30px auto 20px;
    background: #fff;
    background: var(--theme-container-background, #fff);
    border-radius: 3px;
    border: 2px solid #551029;
    box-shadow: 5px 6px 0px #551029;
  }
  .profile {
    display: flex;
    align-items: center;
    margin: 0 20px;
  }
  .profile-image {
    background: #61122f;
    width: calc(12.2vw + 50px);
    height: calc(12.2vw + 50px);
    border-radius: 200px;
    max-width: 220px;
    max-height: 220px;
    border: 4px solid #61122f;
  }
  .icon-img {
    margin-right: 1em;
    width: 35px;
    height: 35px;
  }
  .profile-description {
    display: flex;
    justify-content: center;
    flex-direction: column;
  }
  .role {
    font-style: italic;
    font-size: 1.4rem;
    margin: 10px 0;
    color: #999999;
  }
  .social {
    margin-top: 25px;
    color: #61122f;
  }
  h1 {
    color: #61122f;
    font-weight: 600;
  }
  @media (max-width: 640px) {
    .role {
      font-size: 1rem;
    }
    .social {
      margin-top: 5px;
    }
    .icon-img {
      margin-right: 1em;
      width: 25px;
      height: 25px;
    }
  }
</style>

  <div class="flex-container">

We need to create a Header.svelte component in src/components and then we should import it into our src/routes/_layout.svelte

<script>
  import Header from "../components/Header.svelte";
</script>

<style>
  main {
    position: relative;
    max-width: 56em;
    background-color: white;
    padding: 2em;
    margin: 0 auto;
    box-sizing: border-box;
  }
</style>

<svelte:head>
  <title>Juan Pablo Blanco - Blog</title>
</svelte:head>

<Header />

<main>
  <slot />
</main>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Bonus: Error template

As bonus track (and optional), when any error occurs let's show our Borat image with the error message:

//src/routes/_error.svelte
<script>
  export let status;
  export let error;

  const dev = process.env.NODE_ENV === "development";
</script>

<style>
  h1 {
    font-size: 2.8em;
    font-weight: 700;
    margin: 0 0 0.5em 0;
  }

  @media (min-width: 480px) {
    h1 {
      font-size: 4em;
    }
  }
</style>

<h1>{status}</h1>

<figure>
  <img alt="Borat" src="great-success.png" />
  <figcaption>{error.message}</figcaption>
</figure>

{#if dev && error.stack}
  <pre>{error.stack}</pre>
{/if}

Interesting, though what I liked the most is the definition of the layout first and the logic is presented later, I'm new to this wizard stuff called software development. Thanks.

PS: Please, don't forget to describe where the Header.svelte file goes and where is has to be described to be present in the page. (_layout.svelte)

Really good article! But I have something to add. According to this doc it is not good idea to place a block tags into inline. I suppose it can be important for people who are new to web development and do not know what is good and what is bad practice.

Hi Igor! Thanks for reading! Regarding your comment, I’m not following which part of this example is a bad practice.
The <span> is inline by default, actually is also given as an example in that doc.
I would appreciate if you could tell me exactly which part are you referring to.

Thank you!

Why did you moved your page to Zeit? Do you still like Svelte?

Hi! I like Svelte, I still found a little bit challenging doing TDD with it as for example you cannot stub the slots (the PR is still open as far as I know) and found complex to mock other components, but I still think is great coding experience, easy to learn and start with it, definitely give it a try and tell me your experience! Regarding zeit, I've just deployed it there because it is an amazing platform, easy to deploy and has a free tier that works great also for this kind of example. Thanks for reading!
