So far in this multi-part series, we’ve used Svelte to make the frontend of a Word Puzzle Game, but it does not receive user input, yet. That doesn’t make for a very fun game!

In Part 2 of this series, we’re going to make our game a little more functional. We’ll accomplish the following tasks: (1) allow users to guess a word, (2) manage state for the guesses, and (3) track the correctness of each letter in each guess.

By the end of this post, we will be one step closer to having a Svelte-based, fully functional Word Puzzle Game! Without further ado, let’s get started.

Recently, I was involved with a project that required the client to collect payments from their customers. This brought up many questions on the best approach to process orders to accomplish this.

We wondered, is a Stripe Elements integration the answer, or can we avoid fees and process payments ourselves? For the vast majority of companies, ourselves included, yes, Stripe is the answer. The complexity of Payment Card Industry (PCI) Compliance alone makes this a no-brainer. In addition, the development of payment infrastructure is very time-consuming and costly.

In this blog, I will discuss Stripe Elements and its integration and the best way to implement them with React. I will cover basic Stripe information, how to set up a Stripe account, and a brief code overview to help you get on your way to incorporating Stripe…
