Usage

Server side

// +page.server.ts

import type { ITodo } from '$lib/types';
import type { PageServerLoad } from './$types';

export const load = (async ({ locals }) => {
    try {
        const todos = await locals.pb.collection('todos').getList<ITodo>(1, 10);
        // structured clone required cause the data is not serializable by default.
        return { todos: structuredClone(todos) };
    } catch (err) {}
}) satisfies PageServerLoad;

Client side

// +page.svelte

<script lang="ts">
    import { pb } from '$lib/pocketbase';
    import type { ITodo } from '$lib/types';
    async function clientSideFn() {
        console.log(await pb.collection('todos').getList<ITodo>());
    }
</script>

<button on:click={clientSideFn}>Click Me</button>

How it works

src/hooks.server.ts sits bewteen clients and Sveltekit server. It takes cookie from user, and creates an pb instance in Sveltekit.

src/hooks.client.ts does the same and allows usage on client-side/browser.

const pb = new PocketBase(); // new instance
pb.authStore.loadFromCookie(); // loads cookie from user
event.locals.pb = pb; // now sveltekit server can access it
