+In development mode (see the [compiler options](docs#svelte_compile)), a warning will be printed if no default is provided and the consumer does not specify a value. To squelch this warning, ensure that a default is specified, even if it is `undefined`.

 *Spread attributes* allow many attributes or properties to be passed to an element or component at once.
 
 An element or component can have multiple spread attributes, interspersed with regular ones.
