Architecture Patterns

Component Architecture

1. Layout Components - Root layout with Header/Footer
2. Page Components - Route-specific pages in /routes
3. Feature Components - Reusable sections (Hero, CampaignCarousel)
4. UI Components - Small reusable elements (PaymentForm, Modal)

Data Flow Pattern

User Input → Svelte Store → Component Reactivity → UI Update
                ↓
        Firestore Write → Async Feedback

Routing Pattern

• File-based routing: /routeshttps://donate.sikhaid.ngo//+page.svelte → https://donate.sikhaid.ngo/
• Dynamic routes: /routes/campaigns/[slug]/+page.svelte → /campaigns/:slug
• Nested layouts: +layout.svelte files for shared wrappers

State Management Pattern

• Svelte writable stores for form data
• Store functions for actions (e.g., setDonationAmount())
• Direct Firestore integration from components

Development Workflow

Setup

npm install              # Install dependencies
npm run dev             # Start dev server (http://localhost:5173)

Type Checking

npm run check           # Check types across all files
npm run check:watch     # Watch mode for type checking

Build & Deploy

npm run build           # Build for production (outputs to .svelte-kit/output)
npm run preview         # Preview production build locally

Git Information

• Current branch: main
• Recent commits:
  • 545b459: admin route added. form submissions connected to firestore
  • 7c79783: firestore setup done and tested
  • 5424583: added volunteering and csr routes

Design Philosophy

• Mobile-first responsive design with Tailwind breakpoints
• Component reusability - DRY principle throughout
• Type safety - TypeScript interfaces for all data structures
• Progressive enhancement - Works without JavaScript for core content
• Accessibility - Semantic HTML, ARIA labels, keyboard navigation

Security Notes

⚠️ Known Issues:

• Admin password hardcoded in Footer.svelte (should use env var)
• Client-side session authentication (consider backend auth)
• Firebase config visible in browser (requires Firestore security rules)

When to Use This Skill

• Setting up the project for the first time
• Understanding the overall architecture
• Locating where specific functionality lives
• Adding new major features or routes
• Configuring build tools or environment variables
• Onboarding new developers or AI assistants
