 title: Adding parameters

-TODO come up with a better example
\ No newline at end of file
+Like transitions and animations, an action can take an argument, which the action function will be called with alongside the element it belongs to.
+
+Here, we're using a `longpress` action that fires an event with the same name whenever the user presses and holds the button for a given duration. Right now, if you switch over to the `longpress.js` file, you'll see it's hardcoded to 500ms.
+
+We can change the action function to accept a `duration` as a second argument, and pass that `duration` to the `setTimeout` call:
+
+```js
+export function longpress(node, duration) {
+	const handleMousedown = () => {
+		setTimeout(() => {
+			node.dispatchEvent(
+				new CustomEvent('longpress')
+			);
+		}, duration);
+	};
+
+	// ...
+}
+```
+
+Back in `App.svelte`, we can pass the `duration` value to the action:
+
+```html
+<button use:longpress={duration}
+```
+
+This *almost* works — the event now only fires after 2 seconds. But if you slide the duration down, it will still take two seconds.
+
+To change that, we can add an `update` method in `longpress.js`. This will be called whenever the argument changes:
+
+```js
+return {
+	update(newDuration) {
+		duration = newDuration;
+	},
+	destroy() {
+		node.removeEventListener('mousedown', handleMousedown);
+	}
+};
+```
+
+> If you need to pass multiple arguments to an action, combine them into a single object, as in `use:longpress={{duration, spiciness}}`
