A way for maintainers to test out changes to Kit outside the repo. Place it next to the kit repo, then pnpm install. Because of these lines in package.json, pnpm dev/build/preview/package will use the SvelteKit source, rather than the built CLI/library:
"scripts": {
"dev": "node ../kit/packages/kit/src/cli.js dev --port 4567",
"build": "node ../kit/packages/kit/src/cli.js build",
"package": "node ../kit/packages/kit/src/cli.js package",
"preview": "node ../kit/packages/kit/src/cli.js preview --port 4567"
},
"pnpm": {
"overrides": {
"@sveltejs/kit": "../kit/packages/kit",
"@sveltejs/adapter-auto": "../kit/packages/adapter-auto"
}
}It serves on port 4567 so that you can run Kit tests without shutting the app down.
Note that this app has a dependency on devalue — this would normally be inlined into the Kit library, but not when we're using the source code, so we need to add it here otherwise the app won't run.
