Sapper, a framework for JAMstack applications

Alright, What the heck is Sapper?

Sapper is the companion framework of svelte, like how Next/Nuxt is for React/Vue.

JAMstack?

Javascript APIs and Markup is an architecture that is easy to build, maintain and scale.

The DEV API

Dev has great API documentation but there is still a lot of room for improvement.

Getting started with Sapper

This is the standard way to get a default starter template for docs head to Sapper site.

# for Rollup
npx degit "sveltejs/sapper-template#rollup" my-app
# for webpack
npx degit "sveltejs/sapper-template#webpack" my-app
cd my-app

npm install
npm run dev & open http://localhost:3000

Now we got the all ingredients for making a JAMstack application we can start building the app but first, this is the anatomy of Sapper directory

src
├───components
│       Nav.svelte
└───routes
    │   about.svelte
    │   index.svelte
    │   _error.svelte
    │   _layout.svelte
    └───blog
            index.json.js
            index.svelte
            [slug].json.js
            [slug].svelte
            _posts.js

The majority of the work is done inside the src folder. The next part will have details of how the blog is fetched from DEV API.
