What can I expect from these recipes?

The Svelte compiler expects all components it receives to be valid Svelte syntax. To use compile-to-js or compile-to-css languages, you need to make sure that any non-standard syntax is transformed before Svelte tries to parse it. To enable this Svelte provides a preprocess method allowing you to transform different parts of the component before it reaches the compiler. With svelte.preprocess you have a great deal of flexibility in how you write your components while ensuring that the Svelte compiler receives a plain component.

Where to get started
