Start with SvelteKit - Docs

Learn how to setup your first SvelteKit project powered by Appwrite.

Create project

Create project screen

If this is your first time using Appwrite, create an account and create your first project.

Then, under Add a platform, add a Web app. The Hostname should be localhost.

Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS)

Adding localhost as a platform lets your local app talk to Appwrite. For production, add your live domain to avoid CORS errors.

Learn more in our CORS error guide.
