 title: $props
 ---
 
-Coming soon!
+The inputs to a component are referred to as _props_, which is short for _properties_. You pass props to components just like you pass attributes to elements:
+
+```svelte
+<script>
+	import MyComponent from './MyComponent.svelte';
+</script>
+
+/// file: App.svelte
+<MyComponent adjective="cool" />
+```
+
+On the other side, inside `MyComponent.svelte`, we can receive props with the `$props` rune...
+
+```svelte
+<script>
+	let props = $props();
+</script>
+
+/// file: MyComponent.svelte
+<p>this component is {props.adjective}</p>
+```
+
+...though more commonly, you'll [_destructure_](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/Destructuring_assignment) your props:
+
+```svelte
+/// file: MyComponent.svelte
+<script>
+	let +++{ adjective }+++ = $props();
+</script>
+
+<p>this component is {+++adjective+++}</p>
+```
+
+## Default values
+
+Destructuring allows us to declare default values, which are used if the parent component does not set a given prop:
+
+```js
+/// file: MyComponent.svelte
+let { adjective = 'happy' } = $props();
+```
+
+## Renaming props
+
+We can also use the destructuring assignment to rename props, which is necessary if they're invalid identifiers, or a JavaScript keyword like `super`:
+
+```js
+let { super: trouper = 'lights are gonna find me' } = $props();
+```
+
+## Rest props
+
+Finally, we can use a _rest property_ to get, well, the rest of the props:
+
+```js
+let { a, b, c, ...others } = $props();
+```
+
+## Type safety
+
+You can add type safety to your components by annotating your props, as you would with any other variable declaration. In TypeScript that might look like this...
+
+```svelte
+<script lang="ts">
+	let { adjective }: { adjective: string } = $props();
+</script>
+```
+
+...while in JSDoc you can do this:
+
+```svelte
+<script>
+	/** @type {{ adjective: string }} */
+	let { adjective } = $props();
+</script>
+```
+
+You can, of course, separate the type declaration from the annotation:
+
+```svelte
+<script lang="ts">
+	interface Props {
+		adjective: string;
+	}
+
+	let { adjective }: Props = $props();
+</script>
+```
+
+Adding types is recommended, as it ensures that people using your component can easily discover which props they should provide.
