When Svelte runs an effect function, it tracks which pieces of state (and derived state) are accessed (unless accessed inside [`untrack`](svelte#untrack)), and re-runs the function when that state later changes.

An effect only depends on the values that it read the last time it ran. This has interesting implications for effects that have conditional code.
For instance, if `a` is `true` in the code snippet below, the code inside the `if` block will run and `b` will be evaluated. As such, changes to either `a` or `b` [will cause the effect to re-run](/playground/untitled#H4sIAAAAAAAAE3VQzWrDMAx-FdUU4kBp71li6EPstOxge0ox8-QQK2PD-N1nLy2F0Z2Evj9_chKkP1B04pnYscc3cRCT8xhF95IEf8-Vq0DBr8rzPB_jJ3qumNERH-E2ECNxiRF9tIubWY00lgcYNAywj6wZJS8rtk83wjwgCrXHaULLUrYwKEgVGrnkx-Dx6MNFNstK5OjSbFGbwE0gdXuT_zGYrjmAuco515Hr1p_uXak3K3MgCGS9s-9D2grU-judlQYXIencnzad-tdR79qZrMyvw9wd5Z8Yv1h09dz8mn8AkM7Pfo0BAAA=).
For instance, if `condition` is `true` in the code snippet below, the code inside the `if` block will run and `color` will be evaluated. As such, changes to either `condition` or `color` [will cause the effect to re-run](/playground/untitled#H4sIAAAAAAAAE21RQW6DMBD8ytaNBJHaJFLViwNIVZ8RcnBgXVk1xsILTYT4e20TQg89IOPZ2fHM7siMaJBx9tmaWpFqjQNlAKXEihx7YVJpdIyfRkY3G4gB8Pi97cPanRtQU8AuwuF_eNUaQuPlOMtc1SlLRWlKUo1tOwJflUikQHZtA0klzCDc64Imx0ANn8bInV1CDhtHgjClrsftcSXotluLybOUb3g4JJHhOZs5WZpuIS9gjNqkJKQP5e2ClrR4SMdZ13E4xZ8zTPOTJU2A2uE_PQ9COCI926_hTVarIU4hu_REPlBrKq2q73ycrf1N-vS4TMUsulaVg3EtR8H9rFgsg8uUsT1B2F9eshigZHBRpuaD0D3mY8Qm2BfB5N2YyRzdNEYVDy0Ja-WsFjcOUuP1HvFLWA6H3XuHTUSmmDV2--0TXonxsKbp7G9C6R__NONS-MFNvxj_d6mBAgAA).
Conversely, if `a` is `false`, `b` will not be evaluated, and the effect will _only_ re-run when `a` changes.
Conversely, if `condition` is `false`, `color` will not be evaluated, and the effect will _only_ re-run again when `condition` changes.
```ts
let a = false;
let b = false;
// @filename: ambient.d.ts
declare module 'canvas-confetti' {
interface ConfettiOptions {
colors: string[];
}
function confetti(opts?: ConfettiOptions): void;
export default confetti;
}
// @filename: index.js
// ---cut---
$effect(() => {
console.log('running');
import confetti from 'canvas-confetti';
let condition = $state(true);
let color = $state('#ff3e00');
if (a) {
console.log('b:', b);
$effect(() => {
if (condition) {
confetti({ colors: [color] });
} else {
confetti();
}
});

The `$effect.root` rune is an advanced feature that creates a non-tracked scope that doesn't auto-cleanup. This is useful for nested effects that you want to manually control. This rune also allows for the creation of effects outside of the component initialisation phase.
