Install the Nhost package for SvelteKit

Navigate to the SvelteKit application and install @nhost/nhost-js.

Configure the Nhost client and fetch the list of movies

Create a new file with the following code to creates the Nhost client.

./src/lib/nhost.js
import { NhostClient } from "@nhost/nhost-js";

export const nhost = new NhostClient({
  subdomain: "<subdomain>",
  region: "<region>",
})
Replace <subdomain> and <region> with the subdomain and region for the project

Finally, update src/routes/+page.svelte to fetch the list of movies.

src/routes/+page.svelte
<script>
  import { onMount } from 'svelte';
  import { nhost } from '../lib/nhost';

  let loading = true;
  let movies = [];

  const getMovies = `
    query {
      movies {
        title
        genre
        rating
      }
    }
  `;

  onMount(async () => {
    const { data, error } = await nhost.graphql.request(getMovies);
    if (!error) {
      movies = data.movies;
    }
    loading = false;
  });
</script>

{#if loading}
  <p>Loading...</p>
{:else}
  <table>
    <tbody>
      {#each movies as movie}
        <tr>
          <td>{movie.title}</td>
          <td>{movie.genre}</td>
          <td>{movie.rating}</td>
        </tr>
