// JS API Example
import {startDevServer} from 'snowpack';
const server = await startDevServer({ ... });

Snowpack is most commonly used via the command-line. However, Snowpack also ships a JavaScript API for anyone who wants to integrate with some custom build pipeline or server-side rendering engine.

For example, SvelteKit – the Svelte team’s official app framework – uses Snowpack’s JavaScript API to build a custom SSR engine on top of Snowpack.
