npm init command to start a new kit-docs does not work

[johngribbin]

I believe this is caused by breaking changes in Sveltekit. Is there a workaround?

I came to report the same issue.

I did give KitDocs a quick try previously, and hit an issue around the same point. Not sure now if it was the same, though, sorry.

Would love to be able to give it a go, as I'm creating a documentation site, and a lot of the features I was planning to add are already provided by KitDocs, so I'm keen to see if it works for my setup (it also has a few features I'm not so keen on, so interested to see how easy they are turn off).

I believe this was caused by some breaking changes with SvelteKit, mainly that the routing has changed from index.svelte files to +page.svelte. Would be good to get a timeframe for when Kit-docs will be updated to become compatible with the latest SvelteKit update.

I just had a quick look and unforunately the new naming conventinos (i.e., +page) and few other things are pretty big breaking changes. It's broken quite a few parts of KitDocs. I'll need to find some time hopefully this weekend to dig further and resolve it.

@mihar-22 Is there anything we can do to help? Would love to start using KitDocs again.

[Elliott-Green]

@mihar-22 any news on this?

[mihar-22]

I had another look last night and there's quite a few things to fix which requires a couple hours I don't have right now. Not only the core fixes but I'll have to update all demo and KitDocs site itself. It's just all a bit painful right now. I'll try to get to when I can. If anyone has time you can:

• git clone git@github.com:svelteness/kit-docs.git
• pnpm i
• rm package-lock.json (update everything to latest)
• pnpm i
• Start by updating the request handlers and ensure they resolve +page correctly.
• Update page/layout/handlers here
• Test by running pnpm dev after you think you've resolved everything
• Go through the create package and fix things up there too, with respect to whatever has changed in SvelteKit.
• Update demo to match everything that was updated in the kit-docs directory.

Think I got kit-docs working (not create). @mihar-22 , Please see PR #67 .

This should all finally be working thanks to work that resolved https://github.com/svelteness/kit-docs/issues/70.

Upgrade to 1.0 and let us know how it goes :)
