Discussion on "Live-Chat with SvelteKit and SocketIO"

Hi! 👋 Today we're taking a look at Socket.IO and how we can integrate it into our SvelteKit project. As an example, we'll be building a realtime chat app in this demo. Setup the project First, we need a SvelteKit project. If you already have a proje...

Does this still work? Because I get an error

Hi Linus, many thanks for your SK/Socket.io approach! It might be the result of SvelteKits latest breaking changes, but I constantly run into the following error: "Error: config.kit.vite has been removed — use vite.config.js instead". Any Ideas how to overcome this issue?

Thanks for your feedback!

Not tested yet, but maybe this works: pastebin.com/P2JSMC71

Put this in your vite.config.js. As far as I understand, the vite section from the svelte.config.js now moved to vite.config.js.

Thank you Linus, meanwhile i was able to figure out how to deal with it. Following Matija´s tutorial (joyofcode.xyz/using-websockets-with-sveltekit) i just swapped the code from svelte.config.js to vite.config.js like this:

which is actually the way you proposed. let´s keep on SvelteKitting ;)

Hi Linus, I've gone through this tutorial and everything works perfectly when I run the dev server, but as soon as I build it and try to run it, whether on my machine using the "build" and "preview" commands, or by deploying to vercel, the sockets don't work. Do you have a github repo that successfully implements this tutorial in production?

Hi, thank you for your feedback! I actually found an issue when using it in production, so I've added a section on how to make it work in production. linu.us/live-chat-with-sveltekit-and-socketio

I hope this helps, I'm sorry that I missed that part.
