Client-side component API

Creating a component

// @errors: 2554
// @filename: ambient.d.ts
import { SvelteComponent, ComponentConstructorOptions } from 'svelte';

declare global {
	class Component extends SvelteComponent {}
	var options: ComponentConstructorOptions<Record<string, any>>;
}

// @filename: index.ts
// @errors: 2554
// ---cut---
const component = new Component(options);

A client-side component — that is, a component compiled with generate: 'dom' (or the generate option left unspecified) is a JavaScript class.

// @errors: 2554
// @filename: ambient.d.ts
import { SvelteComponent, ComponentConstructorOptions } from 'svelte';

declare module './App.svelte' {
	class Component extends SvelteComponent {}
	export default Component;
}

// @filename: index.ts
// @errors: 2554
// ---cut---
import App from './App.svelte';

const app = new App({
	target: document.body,
	props: {
		// assuming App.svelte contains something like
		// `export let answer`:
		answer: 42
	}
});

The following initialisation options can be provided:

option default description
target none An HTMLElement or ShadowRoot to render to. This option is required
anchor null A child of target to render the component immediately before
props {} An object of properties to supply to the component
context new Map() A Map of root-level context key-value pairs to supply to the component
hydrate false See below
intro false If true, will play transitions on initial render, rather than waiting for subsequent state changes

Existing children of target are left where they are.

The hydrate option instructs Svelte to upgrade existing DOM (usually from server-side rendering) rather than creating new elements. It will only work if the component was compiled with the hydratable: true option. Hydration of <head> elements only works properly if the server-side rendering code was also compiled with hydratable: true, which adds a marker to each element in the <head> so that the component knows which elements it's responsible for removing during hydration.

Whereas children of target are normally left alone, hydrate: true will cause any children to be removed. For that reason, the anchor option cannot be used alongside hydrate: true.

The existing DOM doesn't need to match the component — Svelte will 'repair' the DOM as it goes.

// @filename: ambient.d.ts
import { SvelteComponent, ComponentConstructorOptions } from 'svelte';

declare module './App.svelte' {
	class Component extends SvelteComponent {}
	export default Component;
}

// @filename: index.ts
// @errors: 2322 2554
// ---cut---
import App from './App.svelte';

const app = new App({
	target: document.querySelector('#server-rendered-html'),
	hydrate: true
});

$set

// @filename: ambient.d.ts
import { SvelteComponent, ComponentConstructorOptions } from 'svelte';

declare global {
	class Component extends SvelteComponent {}
	var component: Component;
	var props: Record<string, any>;
}

export {};

// @filename: index.ts
// ---cut---
component.$set(props);

Programmatically sets props on an instance. component.$set({ x: 1 }) is equivalent to x = 1 inside the component's <script> block.

Calling this method schedules an update for the next microtask — the DOM is not updated synchronously.

// @filename: ambient.d.ts
import { SvelteComponent, ComponentConstructorOptions } from 'svelte';

declare global {
	class Component extends SvelteComponent {}
	var component: Component;
}

export {};

// @filename: index.ts
// ---cut---
component.$set({ answer: 42 });

$on

// @filename: ambient.d.ts
import { SvelteComponent, ComponentConstructorOptions } from 'svelte';

declare global {
	class Component extends SvelteComponent {}
	var component: Component;
	var ev: string;
	var callback: (event: CustomEvent) => void;
}

export {};

// @filename: index.ts
// ---cut---
component.$on(ev, callback);

Causes the callback function to be called whenever the component dispatches an event.

A function is returned that will remove the event listener when called.

// @filename: ambient.d.ts
import { SvelteComponent, ComponentConstructorOptions } from 'svelte';

declare global {
	class Component extends SvelteComponent {}
	var component: Component;
}

export {};

// @filename: index.ts
// ---cut---
const off = component.$on('selected', (event) => {
	console.log(event.detail.selection);
});

off();

$destroy

// @filename: ambient.d.ts
import { SvelteComponent, ComponentConstructorOptions } from 'svelte';

declare global {
	class Component extends SvelteComponent {}
	var component: Component;
}

export {}

// @filename: index.ts
// ---cut---
component.$destroy();

Removes a component from the DOM and triggers any onDestroy handlers.

Component props

// @filename: ambient.d.ts
import { SvelteComponent, ComponentConstructorOptions } from 'svelte';

declare global {
	class Component extends SvelteComponent {}
	var component: Component;
}

export {}

// @filename: index.ts
// @errors: 2339
// ---cut---
component.prop;
// @filename: ambient.d.ts
import { SvelteComponent, ComponentConstructorOptions } from 'svelte';

declare global {
	class Component extends SvelteComponent {}
	var component: Component;
	var value: unknown;
}

export {}

// @filename: index.ts
// @errors: 2339
// ---cut---
component.prop = value;

If a component is compiled with accessors: true, each instance will have getters and setters corresponding to each of the component's props. Setting a value will cause a synchronous update, rather than the default async update caused by component.$set(...).

By default, accessors is false, unless you're compiling as a custom element.

// @filename: ambient.d.ts
import { SvelteComponent, ComponentConstructorOptions } from 'svelte';

declare global {
	class Component extends SvelteComponent {}
	var component: Component;
	var props: Record<string, any>;
}

export {}

// @filename: index.ts
// @errors: 2339
// ---cut---
console.log(component.count);
component.count += 1;
