SvelteKit-Kratos

Basic SvelteKit example using Ory Kratos for authentication.

Features

• Svelte via SvelteKit
• Authentication via Kratos
• Styling via tailwindcss
• GraphQL via Hasura

Quick start

Once you've installed dependencies with npm install (or pnpm install or yarn), start a development server:

npm run dev

# or start the server and open the app in a new browser tab
npm run dev -- --open

# to use https run
npm run dev -- -H

If running locally on port 80 and getting listen EACCES: permission denied 0.0.0.0:80 try:

sudo apt-get install libcap2-bin
sudo setcap cap_net_bind_service=+ep `readlink -f \`which node\``

# start sveltekit on port 80 or 443 if using https with -H flag
npm run dev -- -p 80

Start Kratos:

docker compose up --build --force-recreate

Create cookie/default secret

openssl rand -base64 24

Create cryptographic keys for Oathkeeper JWT:

docker run oryd/oathkeeper:v0.38.11-beta.1 credentials generate --alg RS512 > ./.oathkeeper/jwks.json

Create SSL certificates for local development

mkdir certs && cd certs
mkcert myapp.local "*.myapp.local" localhost 127.0.0.1

Build a production version of your app by running:

npm run build

You can preview the built app with npm run preview, regardless of whether you installed an adapter. This should not be used to serve your app in production.

TODO

• Add Oathkeeper as a reverse proxy
• Fix misc styles issues for different browsers
• Fix password toggle not working in Firefox (works in Chrome and Safari)
• Add GraphQL via Hasura

Disclaimer

I suggest using the Chrome browser to run this example.

SvelteKit is still in early beta and has various bugs, especially in Firefox

If you're on Windows and using WSL2 you might face a bug where the dev server constantly refreshes because of a websocket connection error when using host 127.0.0.1
