Getting Started With Svelte-Kit Session Auth
At the time of writing this Svelte-kit is still experimental but we were still able to get some

Now we have a new directory that looks like the following:

touch sessions.json
Now we want to create another special directory for Svelte-kit, the src/setup directory.
Inside that directory we will have the following two files:
index.js
db.js
The setup/index.js file runs for each new request made to the web application.
Meaning that so long as we have the cookie with the key value my_web_app-123 we will be able
to authenticate our user without them needing to sign in again.
To add the cookie to the users browser we can use the Set-cookie header when returning
the login request:
