title: Store bindings
---

If a store is writable — i.e. it has a `set` method — you can bind to its value, just as you can bind to local component state.

In this example we have a writable store `name` and a derived store `greeting`. Update the `<input>` element:

```svelte
<input bind:value={$name} />
```

Changing the input value will now update `name` and all its dependents.

We can also assign directly to store values inside a component. Add a `<button>` element:

```svelte
<button on:click={() => ($name += '!')}> Add exclamation mark! </button>
```

The `$name += '!'` assignment is equivalent to `name.set($name + '!')`.
