PlayFab is a super easy, free and well documented service Microsoft offers. After describing it to someone, they commented "Oh, it sounds kinda like a firebase for games." I think that's pretty on the nose.

I was using a few functions a few times on different views and it was getting a little bit spaghetti, so I figured I ought to turn the functions I need into components. Separation of concerns.

In SvelteKit every route is also a component, so all these routes are also components. To get x functionality, pop in that component.

how to use:

1. add playfab script to head of app.html
2. add whichever components you need
3. configure your titleId

components:

• Register PlayFab User
• Login With PlayFab
• Send Account Recovery Email

notes:

• Refreshing the page currently results in a new login being necessary, I'm hesitant to add a watcher to the layout.
• Using the CDN instead of the npm package.
• I picked Syd to win S41 of Survivor. I think she's got a real shot.
