One component per file constraint

5/10 Medium

Svelte's file-based component model forces one component per file, leading to excessive file proliferation and fragmented state management. Developers must maintain separate files for components and their state logic, reducing colocation and code organization flexibility.

Query: “What are the most common pain points with Svelte for developers in 2025?”4/5/2026

I didn't like that I couldn't have multiple components in one file... It's basically resulted in me often having a page. And then right next to it, some class that maintains all the state for that page.
