Snapshots

A nice SvelteKit feature is snapshots, which saves and restores data when the user navigates on the site. This is perfect for saving the form state, and with Superforms, you can take advantage of this in one line of code, as an alternative to a tainted form message. Note that it only works for browser history navigation though.

Usage

const { form, capture, restore } = superForm(data.form);

export const snapshot = { capture, restore };

The export has to be on a +page.svelte page to work, it cannot be in a component.

Test it out

Modify the form below without submitting, then click the browser back button and then forward again. The form should be restored to its intermediate state.
