SvelteKit contact form
Verified against SvelteKit 2.x · June 2026
SvelteKit's form actions give you progressive enhancement out of the box. You can either use a `+page.server.ts` action that forwards to FormLoom (great for SSR and no-JS support) or POST from the client with `fetch`. Both are one short function.
The code
For SSR + progressive enhancement, create a named action in `+page.server.ts` that reads the form data and forwards it to FormLoom. For SPA-style UX, use `use:enhance` or a plain client `fetch`.

- In a server action, read `await request.formData()` and forward it; return the FormLoom JSON so `use:enhance` can react to it.
- Static-adapter builds have no server — use the client `fetch` variant there.
- Remember `Accept: application/json` so FormLoom returns JSON rather than redirecting.

FAQ
Use a `+page.server.ts` action for progressive enhancement and SSR; use a client fetch when you're on `adapter-static` or want a pure SPA flow.
