Types

Generated types

The RequestHandler and Load types both accept a Params argument allowing you to type the params object. For example this endpoint expects foo, bar and baz params:

src/routes/[foo]/[bar]/[baz]/+page.server

/** @type {import('@sveltejs/kit').RequestHandler<{
	foo: string;
	bar: string;
	baz: string
  }>} */
export async function function GET({ params }: {
    params: any;
}): Promise<void>@type{import('@sveltejs/kit').RequestHandler<{
	foo: string;
	bar: string;
	baz: string
  }>}GET({ params: anyparams }) {
	// ...
}

import type { type RequestHandler<Params extends Partial<Record<string, string>> = Partial<Record<string, string>>, RouteId extends string | null = string | null> = (event: RequestEvent<Params, RouteId>) => MaybePromise<Response>A (event: RequestEvent) => Response function exported from a +server.js file that corresponds to an HTTP verb (GET, PUT, PATCH, etc) and handles requests with that method.
It receives Params as the first generic argument, which you can skip by using generated types instead.
RequestHandler } from '@sveltejs/kit';
export const const GET: RequestHandler<{
    foo: string;
    bar: string;
    baz: string;
}>GET: type RequestHandler<Params extends Partial<Record<string, string>> = Partial<Record<string, string>>, RouteId extends string | null = string | null> = (event: RequestEvent<Params, RouteId>) => MaybePromise<Response>A (event: RequestEvent) => Response function exported from a +server.js file that corresponds to an HTTP verb (GET, PUT, PATCH, etc) and handles requests with that method.
It receives Params as the first generic argument, which you can skip by using generated types instead.
RequestHandler<{
	foo: stringfoo: string;
	bar: stringbar: string;
	baz: stringbaz: string
  }> = async ({ params: {
    foo: string;
    bar: string;
    baz: string;
}The parameters of the current route - e.g. for a route like /blog/[slug], a { slug: string } object
params }) => {
	// ...
};

Needless to say, this is cumbersome to write out, and less portable (if you were to rename the [foo] directory to [qux], the type would no longer reflect reality).

To solve this problem, SvelteKit generates .d.ts files for each of your endpoints and pages:

.svelte-kit/types/src/routes/[foo]/[bar]/[baz]/$types.d

import type * as module "@sveltejs/kit"Kit from '@sveltejs/kit';

type type RouteParams = {
    foo: string;
    bar: string;
    baz: string;
}RouteParams = {
	foo: stringfoo: string;
	bar: stringbar: string;
	baz: stringbaz: string;
};

export type type PageServerLoad = (event: Kit.ServerLoadEvent<RouteParams, Record<string, any>, string | null>) => MaybePromise<void | Record<string, any>>PageServerLoad = module "@sveltejs/kit"Kit.type ServerLoad<Params extends Partial<Record<string, string>> = Partial<Record<string, string>>, ParentData extends Record<string, any> = Record<string, any>, OutputData extends Record<string, any> | void = void | Record<...>, RouteId extends string | null = string | null> = (event: Kit.ServerLoadEvent<Params, ParentData, RouteId>) => MaybePromise<OutputData>The generic form of PageServerLoad and LayoutServerLoad. You should import those from ./$types (see generated types)
rather than using ServerLoad directly.
ServerLoad<type RouteParams = {
    foo: string;
    bar: string;
    baz: string;
}RouteParams>;
export type type PageLoad = (event: Kit.LoadEvent<RouteParams, Record<string, any> | null, Record<string, any>, string | null>) => MaybePromise<void | Record<string, any>>PageLoad = module "@sveltejs/kit"Kit.type Load<Params extends Partial<Record<string, string>> = Partial<Record<string, string>>, InputData extends Record<string, unknown> | null = Record<string, any> | null, ParentData extends Record<string, unknown> = Record<...>, OutputData extends Record<string, unknown> | void = void | Record<...>, RouteId extends string | null = string | null> = (event: Kit.LoadEvent<Params, InputData, ParentData, RouteId>) => MaybePromise<OutputData>The generic form of PageLoad and LayoutLoad. You should import those from ./$types (see generated types)
rather than using Load directly.
Load<type RouteParams = {
    foo: string;
    bar: string;
    baz: string;
}RouteParams>;

These files can be imported into your endpoints and pages as siblings, thanks to the rootDirs option in your TypeScript configuration:

src/routes/[foo]/[bar]/[baz]/+page.server

/** @type {import('./$types').PageServerLoad} */
export async function function GET(event: ServerLoadEvent<RouteParams, Record<string, any>, string | null>): MaybePromise<void | Record<string, any>>@type{import('./$types').PageServerLoad}GET({ params: RouteParamsThe parameters of the current route - e.g. for a route like /blog/[slug], a { slug: string } object
params }) {
	// ...
}

import type { type PageServerLoad = (event: ServerLoadEvent<RouteParams, Record<string, any>, string | null>) => MaybePromise<void | Record<string, any>>PageServerLoad } from './$types';

export const const GET: PageServerLoadGET: type PageServerLoad = (event: ServerLoadEvent<RouteParams, Record<string, any>, string | null>) => MaybePromise<void | Record<string, any>>PageServerLoad = async ({ params: RouteParamsThe parameters of the current route - e.g. for a route like /blog/[slug], a { slug: string } object
params }) => {
	// ...
};

src/routes/[foo]/[bar]/[baz]/+page

/** @type {import('./$types').PageLoad} */
export async function function load(event: LoadEvent<RouteParams, Record<string, any> | null, Record<string, any>, string | null>): MaybePromise<void | Record<string, any>>@type{import('./$types').PageLoad}load({ params: RouteParamsThe parameters of the current page - e.g. for a route like /blog/[slug], a { slug: string } object
params, fetch: {
    (input: RequestInfo | URL, init?: RequestInit): Promise<Response>;
    (input: string | URL | globalThis.Request, init?: RequestInit): Promise<Response>;
}fetch is equivalent to the native fetch web API, with a few additional features:

It can be used to make credentialed requests on the server, as it inherits the cookie and authorization headers for the page request.
It can make relative requests on the server (ordinarily, fetch requires a URL with an origin when used in a server context).
Internal requests (e.g. for +server.js routes) go directly to the handler function when running on the server, without the overhead of an HTTP call.
During server-side rendering, the response will be captured and inlined into the rendered HTML by hooking into the text and json methods of the Response object. Note that headers will not be serialized, unless explicitly included via filterSerializedResponseHeaders
During hydration, the response will be read from the HTML, guaranteeing consistency and preventing an additional network request.

	// ...
}

import type { type PageLoad = (event: LoadEvent<RouteParams, Record<string, any> | null, Record<string, any>, string | null>) => MaybePromise<void | Record<string, any>>PageLoad } from './$types';

For this to work, your own tsconfig.json or jsconfig.json should extend from the generated .svelte-kit/tsconfig.json (where .svelte-kit is your outDir):

{ "extends": "./.svelte-kit/tsconfig.json" }

Default tsconfig.json

The generated .svelte-kit/tsconfig.json file contains a mixture of options. Some are generated programmatically based on your project configuration, and should generally not be overridden without good reason:

.svelte-kit/tsconfig

{
	"compilerOptions": {
		"baseUrl": "..",
		"paths": {
			"$lib": "src/lib",
			"$lib/*": "src/lib/*"
		},
		"rootDirs": ["..", "./types"]
	},
	"include": ["../src/**/*.js", "../src/**/*.ts", "../src/**/*.svelte"],
	"exclude": ["../node_modules/**", "./**"]
}

Others are required for SvelteKit to work properly, and should also be left untouched unless you know what you’re doing:

.svelte-kit/tsconfig

{
	"compilerOptions": {
		// this ensures that types are explicitly
		// imported with `import type`, which is
		// necessary as svelte-preprocess cannot
		// otherwise compile components correctly
		"importsNotUsedAsValues": "error",

		// Vite compiles one TypeScript module
		// at a time, rather than compiling
		// the entire module graph
		"isolatedModules": true,

		// TypeScript cannot 'see' when you
		// use an imported value in your
		// markup, so we need this
		"preserveValueImports": true,

		// This ensures both `vite build`
		// and `svelte-package` work correctly
		"lib": ["esnext", "DOM", "DOM.Iterable"],
		"moduleResolution": "node",
		"module": "esnext",
		"target": "esnext"
	}
}

$lib

This is a simple alias to src/lib, or whatever directory is specified as config.kit.files.lib. It allows you to access common components and utility modules without ../../../../ nonsense.

$lib/server

A subdirectory of $lib. SvelteKit will prevent you from importing any modules in $lib/server into client-side code. See server-only modules.

app.d.ts

The app.d.ts file is home to the ambient types of your apps, i.e. types that are available without explicitly importing them.

Always part of this file is the App namespace. This namespace contains several types that influence the shape of certain SvelteKit features you interact with.

Error

Defines the common shape of expected and unexpected errors. Expected errors are thrown using the error function. Unexpected errors are handled by the handleError hooks which should return this shape.

interface Error {…}

message: string;

Locals

The interface that defines event.locals, which can be accessed in server hooks (handle, and handleError), server-only load functions, and +server.js files.

interface Locals {}

PageData

Defines the common shape of the $page.data store - that is, the data that is shared between all pages. The Load and ServerLoad functions in ./$types will be narrowed accordingly. Use optional properties for data that is only present on specific pages. Do not add an index signature ([key: string]: any).

interface PageData {}

PageState

The shape of the $page.state object, which can be manipulated using the pushState and replaceState functions from $app/navigation.

interface PageState {}

Platform

If your adapter provides platform-specific context via event.platform, you can specify it here.

interface Platform {}
