Creating a component
// @errors: 2554
// @filename: ambient.d.ts
import { SvelteComponent, ComponentConstructorOptions } from 'svelte';
declare global {
class Component extends SvelteComponent {}
var options: ComponentConstructorOptions<Record<string, any>>;
}
// @filename: index.ts
// @errors: 2554
// ---cut---
const component = new Component(options);
A client-side component — that is, a component compiled with generate: 'dom'
(or the generate
option left unspecified) is a JavaScript class.
// @errors: 2554
// @filename: ambient.d.ts
import { SvelteComponent, ComponentConstructorOptions } from 'svelte';
declare module './App.svelte' {
class Component extends SvelteComponent {}
export default Component;
}
// @filename: index.ts
// @errors: 2554
// ---cut---
import App from './App.svelte';
const app = new App({
target: document.body,
props: {
// assuming App.svelte contains something like
// `export let answer`:
answer: 42
}
});
The following initialisation options can be provided:
option | default | description |
---|---|---|
target |
none | An HTMLElement or ShadowRoot to render to. This option is required |
anchor |
null |
A child of target to render the component immediately before |
props |
{} |
An object of properties to supply to the component |
context |
new Map() |
A Map of root-level context key-value pairs to supply to the component |
hydrate |
false |
See below |
intro |
false |
If true , will play transitions on initial render, rather than waiting for subsequent state changes |
Existing children of target
are left where they are.
The hydrate
option instructs Svelte to upgrade existing DOM (usually from server-side rendering) rather than creating new elements. It will only work if the component was compiled with the hydratable: true
option. Hydration of <head>
elements only works properly if the server-side rendering code was also compiled with hydratable: true
, which adds a marker to each element in the <head>
so that the component knows which elements it's responsible for removing during hydration.
Whereas children of target
are normally left alone, hydrate: true
will cause any children to be removed. For that reason, the anchor
option cannot be used alongside hydrate: true
.
The existing DOM doesn't need to match the component — Svelte will 'repair' the DOM as it goes.
// @filename: ambient.d.ts
import { SvelteComponent, ComponentConstructorOptions } from 'svelte';
declare module './App.svelte' {
class Component extends SvelteComponent {}
export default Component;
}
// @filename: index.ts
// @errors: 2322 2554
// ---cut---
import App from './App.svelte';
const app = new App({
target: document.querySelector('#server-rendered-html'),
hydrate: true
});
$set
// @filename: ambient.d.ts
import { SvelteComponent, ComponentConstructorOptions } from 'svelte';
declare global {
class Component extends SvelteComponent {}
var component: Component;
var props: Record<string, any>;
}
export {};
// @filename: index.ts
// ---cut---
component.$set(props);
Programmatically sets props on an instance. component.$set({ x: 1 })
is equivalent to x = 1
inside the component's <script>
block.
Calling this method schedules an update for the next microtask — the DOM is not updated synchronously.
// @filename: ambient.d.ts
import { SvelteComponent, ComponentConstructorOptions } from 'svelte';
declare global {
class Component extends SvelteComponent {}
var component: Component;
}
export {};
// @filename: index.ts
// ---cut---
component.$set({ answer: 42 });
$on
// @filename: ambient.d.ts
import { SvelteComponent, ComponentConstructorOptions } from 'svelte';
declare global {
class Component extends SvelteComponent {}
var component: Component;
var ev: string;
var callback: (event: CustomEvent) => void;
}
export {};
// @filename: index.ts
// ---cut---
component.$on(ev, callback);
Causes the callback
function to be called whenever the component dispatches an event
.
A function is returned that will remove the event listener when called.
// @filename: ambient.d.ts
import { SvelteComponent, ComponentConstructorOptions } from 'svelte';
declare global {
class Component extends SvelteComponent {}
var component: Component;
}
export {};
// @filename: index.ts
// ---cut---
const off = component.$on('selected', (event) => {
console.log(event.detail.selection);
});
off();
$destroy
// @filename: ambient.d.ts
import { SvelteComponent, ComponentConstructorOptions } from 'svelte';
declare global {
class Component extends SvelteComponent {}
var component: Component;
}
export {}
// @filename: index.ts
// ---cut---
component.$destroy();
Removes a component from the DOM and triggers any onDestroy
handlers.
Component props
// @filename: ambient.d.ts
import { SvelteComponent, ComponentConstructorOptions } from 'svelte';
declare global {
class Component extends SvelteComponent {}
var component: Component;
}
export {}
// @filename: index.ts
// @errors: 2339
// ---cut---
component.prop;
// @filename: ambient.d.ts
import { SvelteComponent, ComponentConstructorOptions } from 'svelte';
declare global {
class Component extends SvelteComponent {}
var component: Component;
var value: unknown;
}
export {}
// @filename: index.ts
// @errors: 2339
// ---cut---
component.prop = value;
If a component is compiled with accessors: true
, each instance will have getters and setters corresponding to each of the component's props. Setting a value will cause a synchronous update, rather than the default async update caused by component.$set(...)
.
By default, accessors
is false
, unless you're compiling as a custom element.
// @filename: ambient.d.ts
import { SvelteComponent, ComponentConstructorOptions } from 'svelte';
declare global {
class Component extends SvelteComponent {}
var component: Component;
var props: Record<string, any>;
}
export {}
// @filename: index.ts
// @errors: 2339
// ---cut---
console.log(component.count);
component.count += 1;
