Proposed Changes

Starting from @sveltejs/[email protected], SvelteKit supports passing config directly through the sveltekit() Vite plugin.

However, the current shadcn-svelte installation docs for SvelteKit still only reference updating svelte.config.js for path aliases:

For SvelteKit 2.62.0+, it would be helpful to mention a vite.config.ts alternative alongside the legacy svelte.config.js approach for older versions.

Suggested update:

  • Legacy approach (all versions): update svelte.config.js
  • Recommended approach (SvelteKit 2.62.0+): configure path aliases in vite.config.ts using sveltekit()

Thanks for maintaining this great project!
