Re-enabling SSR for financial dashboards while using chart.js
I've realized that while SvelteKit handles the HTML generation, HTMLCanvasElement and LocalStorage are strictly client-side. Currently, I have ssr = false to avoid 'Window is not defined' or 'Canvas is undefined' errors during the build.
If I want to re-enable SSR for the rest of my app, what is the cleanest pattern in Svelte 5 to ensure a component only attempts to initialize Chart.js after the DOM is ready?
