Roadmap for Svelte 5

Proposed Changes

This is actually moreso to start a discussion about Svelte 5 and shadcn-svelte. I know we're still quite a ways out from using runes in production code, and I imagine many libs won't even begin the work to support runes until Svelte 5 has been officially released.

That said, shadcn and by extension this lib are a little different in how users integrate it into their projects than conventional UI libs.

Do you mind sharing your plan for Svelte 5 support? If you've got a roadmap, I'm sure there's a few of us who'd love to help you support the transition.

EDIT

As mentioned here, there is now a pull request for tracking the work of updating this and associated libs to Svelte 5.

Fortunately, at this time I have no roadmap. If I did it would have had to change about 10 times since the initial announcement, which is why I haven't been thinking about it and instead have been polishing the underlying libs - bits & melt which will be where most of the heavy lifts for v5 transitions will be.

Once it stabilizes and gets into a release candidate phase I'll start looking into it, but for now, my thoughts are better spent elsewhere!

I will of course update you all once those thoughts do start crossing my mind!

Whenever you are ready to track progress towards svelte 5 support, can we please re-open this ticket instead of creating a new ticket? This is so that users who have already subscribed to this thread can get notified on updates.

So can we upgrade svelte to version 5 and still use this lib?

Since Svelte 5 supports backwards compatibility, you can use the library even if the Svelte version of the package and in your projects are not the same.
