## Works with



✅ `@sveltejs/adapter-node`  

✅ `@sveltejs/adapter-vercel`  

✅ `@sveltejs/adapter-netlify`  



## Important



tRPC-SvelteKit v3.x.x is compatible with tRPC v10.  

If you're using tRPC v9, use tRPC-SvelteKit v2.x.x. The old source code is available in the [trpc-v9](https://github.com/icflorescu/trpc-sveltekit/tree/trpc-v9) branch.



## Quickstart



### Install the package and its dependencies:



```bash

yarn add trpc-sveltekit @trpc/server @trpc/client

```




### Create your [tRPC router](https://trpc.io/docs/router):



```ts

// lib/trpc/router.ts

import type { Context } from '$lib/trpc/context';

import { initTRPC } from '@trpc/server';

import delay from 'delay';



export const t = initTRPC.context().create();



export const router = t.router({

  greeting: t.procedure.query(async () => {

    await delay(500); // 👈 simulate an expensive operation

    return `Hello tRPC v10 @ ${new Date().toLocaleTimeString()}`;

  })

});



export type Router = typeof router;

```




### Create a [tRPC context](https://trpc.io/docs/context):



```ts

// lib/trpc/context.ts

import type { RequestEvent } from '@sveltejs/kit';

import type { inferAsyncReturnType } from '@trpc/server';



// we're not using the event parameter is this example,

// hence the eslint-disable rule

// eslint-disable-next-line @typescript-eslint/no-unused-vars

export async function createContext(event: RequestEvent) {

  return {

    // context information

  };

}



export type Context = inferAsyncReturnType;

```



### Add this handle to your SvelteKit app [hooks](https://kit.svelte.dev/docs/hooks):



```ts

// hooks.server.ts

import { createContext } from '$lib/trpc/context';

import { router } from '$lib/trpc/router';

import type { Handle } from '@sveltejs/kit';

import { createTRPCHandle } from 'trpc-sveltekit';



export const handle: Handle = createTRPCHandle({ router, createContext });

```



### Define a helper function to easily use the tRPC client in your pages:



```ts

// lib/trpc/client.ts

import type { Router } from '$lib/trpc/router';

import { createTRPCClient, type TRPCClientInit } from 'trpc-sveltekit';



let browserClient: ReturnType>;



export function trpc(init?: TRPCClientInit) {

  const isBrowser = typeof window !== 'undefined';

  if (isBrowser && browserClient) return browserClient;

  const client = createTRPCClient({ init });

  if (isBrowser) browserClient = client;

  return client;

}

```



### Call the tRPC procedures in your pages:



```ts

// routes/+page.svelte



  import { page } from '$app/stores';

  import { trpc } from '$lib/trpc/client';



  let greeting = 'press the button to load data';

  let loading = false;



  const loadData = async () => {

    loading = true;

    greeting = await trpc($page).greeting.query();

    loading = false;

  };



Loading data in
+page.svelte




Load

{greeting}


```

## EXPERIMENTAL WebSocket support

(courtesy of [@SrZorro](https://github.com/SrZorro))



SvelteKit [doesn't (yet) offer WebSockets support](https://github.com/sveltejs/kit/issues/1491), but if you're using `@sveltejs/adapter-node`, `tRPC-SvelteKit` can spin up an experimental WS server to process tRPC procedure calls (see the [implementation details](#websockets-implementation-details) to find out how this works under the hood).



### Caveats



- Works with [@sveltejs/adapter-node](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@sveltejs/adapter-node) **exclusively**;

- The URL is hardcoded to `/trpc`;

- When in websocket mode, all tRPC methods are handled by it; this could be changed at some point so that only `subscriptions` are handled by the WebSockets server;

- Prerendering is not supported, since in the current implementation no WebSockets server is created when building/prerendering.



### Install the package and its dependencies:



```bash

yarn add trpc-sveltekit @trpc/server @trpc/client @sveltejs/adapter-node ws

```



### Setup workarounds



In your `vite.config.ts`, add:



```ts

import { sveltekit } from '@sveltejs/kit/vite';

import type { UserConfig } from 'vite';



import { vitePluginTrpcWebSocket } from 'trpc-sveltekit/websocket'; // ➕



const config: UserConfig = {

  plugins: [

    sveltekit(),

    vitePluginTrpcWebSocket // ➕

  ]

};



export default config;

```



In your `svelte.config.js`, modify:



```ts

import adapter from '@sveltejs/adapter-node';    // ➕

// import adapter from '@sveltejs/adapter-auto'; // ➖

```



Create this file next to `package.json` your server entrypoint:



```js

// wsServer.js

import { SvelteKitTRPCWSServer } from "trpc-sveltekit/websocket";



SvelteKitTRPCWSServer(import.meta.url);

```



In your `package.json` `scripts`, modify the `start` command:



```json

{

  "scripts": {

    "start": "node ./wsServer"

  }

}

```



### Create your tRPC router & context



- [Create your tRPC router](#create-your-trpc-router)

- [Create a tRPC context](#create-a-trpc-context)



### Call this function from your SvelteKit app [server hooks](https://kit.svelte.dev/docs/hooks#server-hooks):



```ts

// hooks.server.ts

import { createContext } from '$lib/trpc/context';

import { router } from '$lib/trpc/router';

import { createTRPCWebSocketServer } from "trpc-sveltekit/websocket";



import { building } from '$app/environment';



if (!building) createTRPCWebSocketServer({ router, createContext })

```



### Define a helper function to easily use the tRPC client in your pages:



```ts

// lib/trpc/client.ts

import type { Router } from '$lib/trpc/router';

import { createTRPCWebSocketClient } from "trpc-sveltekit/websocket";



let browserClient: ReturnType>;



export function trpc() {

  const isBrowser = typeof window !== 'undefined';

  if (isBrowser && browserClient) return browserClient;

  const client = createTRPCWebSocketClient();

  if (isBrowser) browserClient = client;

  return client;

}

```



### Call the tRPC procedures in your pages:



```ts

// routes/+page.svelte



  import { trpc } from '$lib/trpc/client';



  let greeting = 'press the button to load data';

  let loading = false;



  const loadData = async () => {

    loading = true;

    greeting = await trpc().greeting.query();

    loading = false;

  };



Loading data in
+page.svelte




Load

{greeting}


```






### Implementation details



All the related code to the websocket implementation is located at `package/src/websocket`.



#### `vitePlugin.ts`



Exports a vite plugin that handles in dev mode the websocket lifecycle.



- On init: `configureServer`

  - `createWSSGlobalInstance`

  - Listen for `upgrade` events in vite dev server, so we can upgrade `/trpc` to our tRPC server



On init we create a `WebSocketServer` with the property `noServer` so we can handle the upgrade to our tRPC and don't break the default vite websocket.



We store a reference in `globalThis` to the web socket server, so we can later get a reference from SvelteKit side.



> To store the websocket server without colliding with existing stuff in `globalThis` at `src/websocket/svelteKitServer.ts` we create a `Symbol`  

> so we can reference the tRPC websocket like so: `globalThis[Symbol.for('trpc.sveltekit.wss')]`



Then we set up an event listener to the vite dev http server to handle the `upgrade` event from `onHttpServerUpgrade`. It will check that the path is `/trpc`, if so it will upgrade our request to our tRPC websocket server.



#### `svelteKitServer.ts`



Exports functions to handle the lifecycle of the tRPC websocket server:



- `createWSSGlobalInstance`

- `onHttpServerUpgrade`



> The firsts 2 methods are already explained in the `vitePlugin.ts` section.



- `SvelteKitTRPCWSServer`



The Vite plugin only works while the Vite dev server is running. When building for production we need to take a diferent aproach.



When we build a SvelteKit app, it will output a `./build` directory.



This function takes `import.meta.url` as an argument from the root directory of the project (next to `package.json`) and then converts it to `__dirname`.



First it creates a websocket server attached to `globalThis`, as explained, then imports dynamically from  `${__dirname}/build` directory the `index.js` file, that exports a `server` property that contains an http server.



We attach to this server `onHttpServerUpgrade` so we handle in the production server the tRPC websocket.



#### `server.ts`



The function `createTRPCWebSocketServer` handles the creation of the websocket tRPC handler getting the `wss` from `globalThis`.



This current implementation in case we are prerendering would fail as vite does not call `configureServer` on the build step, so no `wss` server is found in `globalThis`.



This is why, when calling this method, we have to add a guard on the client/consumer code:



```ts

import { building } from '$app/environment';



if (!building) // 👈 Prevent from calling when building/prerendering

    createTRPCWebSocketServer({ router, createContext })

```



#### `client.ts`



`createTRPCWebSocketClient`



Creates the tRPC proxy client and links to the `wss`.



> Currently all the tRPC requests are handled via websockets, [but this could be changed to only handle subscriptions](https://trpc.io/docs/links).

## Stand with Ukraine



On 24th of February 2022 [Russia unlawfully invaded Ukraine](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russo-Ukrainian_War). This is an unjustified, unprovoked attack on the sovereignty of a neighboring country, but also an open affront to international peace and stability that has the potential to degenerate into a nuclear event threatening the very existence of humanity. I am an EU (Romanian) citizen, but I am doing everything in my power to stop this madness. I stand with Ukraine. The entire Svelte community ❤️🇺🇦. Here's [how you can show your support](https://www.stopputin.net/).
