How it works

Below is a deconstruction of how bookemoji works.

Functionality

bookemoji is composed of three primary aspects:

1. A bookemoji library which exports utility functions
2. SvelteKit routes, endpoint, and layouts
3. A vite plugin which handles some behind-the-scenes magic for loading the stories based on configuration

The bookemoji library

The book emoji library is also two sets of exports:

1. A set of pre-written sveltekit loaders
2. A set of sveltekit components

• The vite plugin is also exported from bookemoji/vite, for convenience

The sveltekit routes

The key sveltekit routes are:

• A /books/books.json endpoint — this is intentionally an endpoint for extensibility
• The /books/[story] and /books/[story]/[variant] pages
• The layouts for loading data for the pages

The vite plugin

The vite plugin is published as vite-plugin-bookemoji and powers the bookemoji experiences.
