Prerequisites

Before we get started, make sure you have the following:

• A SvelteKit app
• A Cloudflare account
• A GitHub account

Step 1: Create a new repository

1. Log in to your GitHub account and click on the ‘+’ icon in the top-right corner of the page.
2. Select ‘New repository’ from the dropdown menu.
3. Give your repository a name and click ‘Create repository’.

Step 2: Connect your repository to Cloudflare Pages

Now that you have a repository, you need to connect it to Cloudflare Pages. Follow these steps to connect your repository:

1. Login to your Cloudflare account and navigate to the ‘Pages’ section.
2. Click on the ‘Create a project’ button.
3. Select your GitHub account and the repository you just created.
4. Choose the branch you want to deploy (typically, the main branch) and click ‘Begin setup’.

Step 3: Configure your build settings

The next step is to configure your build settings. Follow these steps to configure your build settings:

1. In the ‘Build settings’ tab, choose the ‘Svelte’ preset.

Step 4: Test your deployment

Once your app is deployed, you can test it by clicking on the ‘Visit site’ button in the top-right corner of the Cloudflare Pages dashboard. If everything works as expected, you should see your SvelteKit app up and running.

Step 5: Configure custom domains (optional)

If you want to use a custom domain for your SvelteKit app, you can configure it in the ‘Custom domains’ tab of the Cloudflare Pages dashboard. Follow these steps to configure a custom domain:

1. Add your custom domain to Cloudflare.
2. In the ‘Custom domains’ tab, click on ‘Add custom domain’ and enter your custom domain.
