Who Is This For?

• Full-stack developers building authenticated SvelteKit applications
• Backend developers integrating with SvelteKit server routes
• Teams implementing user authentication and authorization
• Developers connecting SvelteKit to databases and external APIs

Learning Outcomes

After completing this training, participants will be able to:

• Build RESTful API endpoints with SvelteKit server routes
• Implement authentication flows including OAuth, session-based, and JWT
• Use hooks for middleware patterns, guards, and request processing
• Integrate databases using Prisma or Drizzle ORM
• Protect routes and API endpoints with authorization checks
• Handle errors, validation, and security best practices

Detailed Agenda

Day 1: Server Routes and API Design

Module 1: SvelteKit Server Routes

• `+server.ts` files and HTTP method handlers
• Request parsing: headers, params, body, cookies
• Response construction and streaming
• Error handling with `error()` and `json()`
• Hands-on: Build a complete REST API

Module 2: Hooks and Middleware

• The `handle` hook for request interception
• `handleFetch` for outgoing request modification
• `handleError` for centralized error handling
• Sequencing hooks and composing middleware
• Hands-on: Implement rate limiting and request logging

Module 3: Database Integration

• Prisma setup and schema design with SvelteKit
• Drizzle ORM as a lightweight alternative
• Database connection management and pooling
• Migrations and seeding strategies
• Hands-on: Connect and query a PostgreSQL database

Day 2: Authentication and Authorization

Module 4: Session-Based Authentication

• Cookie-based sessions with secure defaults
• Login, logout, and registration flows
• Password hashing with bcrypt and Argon2
• Session storage and expiration management
• Hands-on: Build email/password authentication

Module 5: OAuth and Social Login

• OAuth 2.0 flow with SvelteKit
• GitHub, Google, and custom OAuth providers
• Token exchange and profile fetching
• Linking multiple providers to one account
• Hands-on: Implement GitHub OAuth login

Module 6: Authorization and Security

• Route protection with hooks and load functions
• Role-based and permission-based access control
• CSRF protection and security headers
• Input validation and sanitization
• Hands-on: Build a role-based admin dashboard

Prerequisites

• SvelteKit fundamentals (routing, load functions, form actions)
• Basic understanding of HTTP, cookies, and authentication concepts
• Familiarity with SQL databases
• JavaScript/TypeScript proficiency
