# Getting Started with Svelte
✋ CAUTION
This third-party integration guide might not be up-to-date with Strapi v4. Contributions (opens new window) are most welcome.
This integration guide is following the Quick Start Guide. We assume that you have fully completed its "Hands-on" path, and therefore can consume the API by browsing this url (opens new window).
If you haven't gone through the Quick Start Guide, the way you request a Strapi API with Svelte (opens new window) remains the same except that you will not fetch the same content.
# Create a Svelte app
First, install Degit by running npm install -g degit in your command-line interface (CLI).
“Degit makes copies of Git repositories and fetches the latest commit in the repository. This is a more efficient approach than using git clone, because we’re not downloading the entire Git history.”
Create a basic Svelte application using webpack:
npx degit sveltejs/template svelte-appCopied to clipboard!
# Use an HTTP client
Many HTTP clients are available but in this documentation we'll use Axios (opens new window) and Fetch (opens new window).
yarn add axiosCopied to clipboard!
# GET Request your collection type
Execute a GET request on the restaurant collection type in order to fetch all your restaurants.
Be sure that you activated the find permission for the restaurant collection type.
Example GET request with axios
import axios from 'axios'; axios.get('http://localhost:1337/api/restaurants').then(response => { console.log(response); });Copied to clipboard!
