Summary

  • Add @openfeature/svelte-sdk (packages/svelte), an official Svelte binding for the Web SDK that mirrors the surface of @openfeature/react-sdk
  • Reactive flag evaluation via useFlag and the typed use{Boolean,String,Number,Object}Flag{Value,Details} functions, re-evaluating on Ready, ContextChanged and ConfigurationChanged (honouring flagsChanged) and only notifying effects when the evaluation details actually changed
  • setOpenFeatureScope({ domain | client, ...options }) binds a client and default evaluation options to a component subtree via Svelte context (the <OpenFeatureProvider> equivalent); without a scope, the default client is used
  • Reactive provider status and readiness (useOpenFeatureClientStatus, useWhenProviderReady), plus useContextMutator and useTrack
  • setOpenFeatureTestScope({ flagValueMap, delayMs, provider, domain }) testing helper (the <OpenFeatureTestProvider> equivalent)
  • Vitest test suite (rune-level reactivity via $effect.root and rendered components), README, and workspace/release/CI wiring; 'svelte' added to the framework union in @openfeature/core

Usage:

<script lang="ts">
  import { OpenFeature, TypedInMemoryProvider, setOpenFeatureScope, useFlag } from '@openfeature/svelte-sdk';

  OpenFeature.setProvider(new TypedInMemoryProvider(flagConfig));
  setOpenFeatureScope({ domain: 'my-domain' });

  const newMessage = useFlag('new-message', false);
</script>

{#if newMessage.value}
  <p>Welcome to this OpenFeature-enabled Svelte app!</p>
{/if}

Motivation

Svelte is on the OpenFeature roadmap but has no framework SDK, so every Svelte app currently hand-rolls the same reactive wrapper around @openfeature/web-sdk (re-evaluate on provider/context/config events, gate on readiness). This closes that gap the same way the React and Angular SDKs do for their frameworks. It is distinct from Vercel's Flags SDK SvelteKit adapter, which is server-side only and a different abstraction.

Notes

  • No runes in library code. Reactivity is built on createSubscriber from svelte/reactivity, the pattern Svelte recommends for external event sources. Getters register effect dependencies; web-sdk handlers are attached while something depends on the object and removed (via AbortController) when the last effect is destroyed. The package is therefore plain JS: it builds with the existing esbuild + rollup-dts pipeline, needs no compilation by consumers, ships no .svelte files, and flag objects can live in components, .svelte.ts modules, or module scope without manual cleanup. Peer dependency is svelte: ^5.7.0 (when createSubscriber landed); Svelte 4 is out of scope, toStore(() => flag.value) is documented as the bridge.
  • Primitives are returned as { current } boxes (useBooleanFlagValue(...).current, useWhenProviderReady().current), following the convention of Svelte's own reactive classes, since a bare primitive can't be reactive.
  • Scope falls back to the default client instead of throwing like React's MissingContextError, because Svelte 5 code legitimately creates flag objects outside components (module-level state), where no context can exist.
  • Naming: setOpenFeatureScope was chosen over "provider"/"context" to avoid colliding with OpenFeature's own provider and evaluation context terms. Happy to rename.
  • SvelteKit SSR is documented as out of scope (as with the web SDK); the README points to the Server SDK for load functions.
  • Suspense options and the declarative <FeatureFlag> component have no counterpart ({#if flag.value} is native); a component could follow later if there's demand.
  • ESM-only. Svelte 5 is ESM-only (no require condition on svelte/reactivity), so a CommonJS build would fail with ERR_REQUIRE_ESM on Node versions without require(esm). Like the Angular SDK, this package publishes ESM only.
  • prettier-plugin-svelte is added as a root devDependency so the .svelte test fixtures are formatted like everything else.
  • Tests use Vitest (@sveltejs/vite-plugin-svelte, @testing-library/svelte, jsdom) like the Angular package, wired in as npm run test:svelte. Package version starts at 0.0.0 so the first release-please cut is 0.1.0.

Test plan

  • npm run build
  • npm run test:svelte (58 tests, 98% coverage)
  • npm run test:jest (612 tests) and npm run test:package-exports
  • npm run lint and npm run format

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to d851b

The new Svelte SDK can leave context-dependent flag values stale for certain array or object context updates and can mishandle a proto context attribute. These bounded correctness issues should be fixed before release; the remaining documentation typo is minor.

In `@packages/svelte/package.json`:
- Around line 12-13: Update the package exports around the require and default
entries so the package does not advertise an incompatible CommonJS path: either
add a tested compatibility boundary for external svelte/* runtime imports on all
supported Node versions, or remove the CommonJS require entry and publish the
package as ESM-only.

In `@packages/svelte/src/context/use-context-mutator.ts`:
- Line 52: Update the updater flow around the previousContext/resolvedContext
comparison to snapshot the current EvaluationContext before invoking the
updater, then use value-based change detection rather than object identity.
Preserve no-op behavior for unchanged values, while ensuring in-place mutations
still call the appropriate default or domain-scoped OpenFeature context setter
and trigger ContextChanged handlers.

In `@packages/svelte/src/query/query.ts`:
- Line 36: Update the FlagQuery reason property declaration to use
ResolutionReason | undefined instead of typeof StandardResolutionReasons |
string | undefined, matching the type returned by this._details.reason and the
SDK contract.

In `@packages/svelte/tsconfig.rollup.json`:
- Around line 4-7: Update the paths configuration in tsconfig.rollup.json to
retain the workspace aliases for `@openfeature/web-sdk` and `@openfeature/core`
alongside the existing svelte aliases, or inherit them from a shared base
configuration so rollup-plugin-dts resolves workspace sources rather than
package dist/types.d.ts files.

Hey @pharv, thank you for this huge contribution!
Please excuse the response time for this one. I will try to reach out to the other maintainers the next days.
For this one, before accepting we need to be sure that we have someone from the maintainers to take responsibility for maintaining the SDK. Maybe I can do it. Also it would be great to know if you are willing to continue maintaining it.

Hey Lukas, I appreciate it. I would gladly help maintain it. We plan on using OpenFeature extensively for the foreseeable future, so would love to help contribute to this project in any way I can.

Adds an official Svelte binding for the Web SDK, mirroring the surface of
@openfeature/react-sdk in a way that is idiomatic to Svelte 5.

- Reactive flag evaluation via useFlag and the typed value/details
  functions, re-evaluating on Ready, ContextChanged and
  ConfigurationChanged and only notifying effects when the details change
- setOpenFeatureScope to bind a domain- or client-scoped client to a
  component subtree via Svelte context, with default-client fallback
- Reactive provider status and readiness (useOpenFeatureClientStatus,
  useWhenProviderReady), plus useContextMutator and useTrack
- setOpenFeatureTestScope testing helper with flagValueMap, delayMs and
  partial-provider support
- Built on createSubscriber from svelte/reactivity: no runes or .svelte
  files in the library, so it uses the existing esbuild + rollup pipeline
- Vitest test suite, README, and release/CI wiring for the new workspace
