• Loading Data on the Server: Understand how to fetch and display data from the server using SvelteKit's load function.
• Layout Data: Discover how to create layout data that loads for every child route without unnecessary reloads.
• Headers, Cookies, & Shared Modules: Learn to manage headers and cookies and organize shared modules for efficient development.

Forms and API Routes

• Forms: Explore form submissions, server-side actions, and validation in SvelteKit.
• Form Validation: Implement client-side and server-side validation to ensure data integrity and avoid errors.
• Progressive Enhancement: Enhance user experience with the enhance function for complex UI interactions.
• Custom use: Customize the use:enhance action for additional UI control and optimization.

API Routes and SvelteKit Stores

• API Routes: GET & POST: Learn to create API routes for handling GET and POST requests in SvelteKit.
• API Routes: Other Handlers: Implement API routes for PUT and DELETE methods for complete CRUD operations.
• SvelteKit Stores: Explore SvelteKit stores for managing page, navigating, and updating states within the application.

Advanced SvelteKit Features

• Errors & Redirects: Handle errors and redirects effectively, customizing default error pages and redirecting users as needed.
• Hooks: Use hooks to intercept and modify SvelteKit's default behavior for custom application logic.
• Page Options: Discover options for server-side rendering, client-side rendering, and more in SvelteKit.
• Advanced Routing: Implement advanced routing features, including optional parameters and routing groups.

Environment Variables

• Environment Variables: Manage environment variables securely in SvelteKit, preventing sensitive data leaks.

SvelteFlix Application

• Introducing SvelteFlix: Set up the base SvelteKit project for the SvelteFlix application and explore its features.
• Header & Footer Images: Style the header and footer, and use The Movie DB API to fetch movie data.
• Using the TasteJS Movies API: Fetch movie data from the TasteJS API and create an API helper for efficient code.
• Hero Component: Build a hero component to display top trending movies with dynamic images and details.
• Carousel Component: Create a reusable carousel component to display movies in a scrollable list.

Dynamic View Routes and Infinite Scrolling

• Dynamic View Route: Implement dynamic routes for different application views, handling route parameters and errors.
• Populating the Results Page: Load movie data for each page view, configure infinite loading, and style movies into a grid.
• Infinite Scrolling: Implement infinite scrolling with windowing techniques to load relevant data dynamically.
• Infinite Loading: Load more movie data as users scroll, optimizing application performance.

Client-Side Caching and Search

• Client-Side Caching: Utilize client-side caching to distinguish between pages with and without infinite loading components.
• Search Page: Build a search page to fetch and display movies based on user input queries.

Movie Page and Details
