For a long time, I was holding myself from trying out Svelte.js just for the reason that I don’t want to wrap my head around one more framework after React, Angular & Vue. Last year, I broke my vow out of curiosity and started checking Svelte. But the fact that typescript support was not so good at that point of time stopped me from considering it seriously.

I was playing around with Svelte.js recently and was curious to know how easy it would be to build a Tree component using it. It was simpler than I expected it to be with Svelte’s recursive svelte:self feature. Let me explain how its done.
