The `svelte` package exposes [lifecycle functions](https://learn.svelte.dev/tutorial/onmount) and the [context API](https://learn.svelte.dev/tutorial/context-api).
## `onMount`
> EXPORT_SNIPPET: svelte#onMount
The `onMount` function schedules a callback to run as soon as the component has been mounted to the DOM. It must be called during the component's initialisation (but doesn't need to live _inside_ the component; it can be called from an external module).
`onMount` does not run inside a [server-side component](/docs/server-side-component-api).
```svelte
<script>
import { onMount } from 'svelte';
onMount(() => {
console.log('the component has mounted');
});
</script>
```
If a function is returned from `onMount`, it will be called when the component is unmounted.
```svelte
<script>
import { onMount } from 'svelte';
onMount(() => {
const interval = setInterval(() => {
console.log('beep');
}, 1000);
return () => clearInterval(interval);
});
</script>
```
> This behaviour will only work when the function passed to `onMount` _synchronously_ returns a value. `async` functions always return a `Promise`, and as such cannot _synchronously_ return a function.
## `beforeUpdate`
> EXPORT_SNIPPET: svelte#beforeUpdate
Schedules a callback to run immediately before the component is updated after any state change.
> The first time the callback runs will be before the initial `onMount`
```svelte
<script>
import { beforeUpdate } from 'svelte';
beforeUpdate(() => {
console.log('the component is about to update');
});
</script>
```
## `afterUpdate`
> EXPORT_SNIPPET: svelte#afterUpdate
Schedules a callback to run immediately after the component has been updated.
> The first time the callback runs will be after the initial `onMount`
```svelte
<script>
import { afterUpdate } from 'svelte';
afterUpdate(() => {
console.log('the component just updated');
});
</script>
```
## `onDestroy`
> EXPORT_SNIPPET: svelte#onDestroy
Schedules a callback to run immediately before the component is unmounted.
Out of `onMount`, `beforeUpdate`, `afterUpdate` and `onDestroy`, this is the only one that runs inside a server-side component.
```svelte
<script>
import { onDestroy } from 'svelte';
onDestroy(() => {
console.log('the component is being destroyed');
});
</script>
```
## `tick`
> EXPORT_SNIPPET: svelte#tick
Returns a promise that resolves once any pending state changes have been applied, or in the next microtask if there are none.
```svelte
<script>
import { beforeUpdate, tick } from 'svelte';
beforeUpdate(async () => {
console.log('the component is about to update');
await tick();
console.log('the component just updated');
});
</script>
```
## `setContext`
> EXPORT_SNIPPET: svelte#setContext
Associates an arbitrary `context` object with the current component and the specified `key` and returns that object. The context is then available to children of the component (including slotted content) with `getContext`.
Like lifecycle functions, this must be called during component initialisation.
```svelte
<script>
import { setContext } from 'svelte';
setContext('answer', 42);
</script>
```
> Context is not inherently reactive. If you need reactive values in context then you can pass a store into context, which _will_ be reactive.
## `getContext`
> EXPORT_SNIPPET: svelte#getContext
Retrieves the context that belongs to the closest parent component with the specified `key`. Must be called during component initialisation.
```svelte
<script>
import { getContext } from 'svelte';
const answer = getContext('answer');
</script>
```
## `hasContext`
> EXPORT_SNIPPET: svelte#hasContext
Checks whether a given `key` has been set in the context of a parent component. Must be called during component initialisation.
```svelte
<script>
import { hasContext } from 'svelte';
if (hasContext('answer')) {
// do something
}
</script>
```
## `getAllContexts`
> EXPORT_SNIPPET: svelte#getAllContexts
Retrieves the whole context map that belongs to the closest parent component. Must be called during component initialisation. Useful, for example, if you programmatically create a component and want to pass the existing context to it.
```svelte
<script>
import { getAllContexts } from 'svelte';
const contexts = getAllContexts();
</script>
```
## `createEventDispatcher`
> EXPORT_SNIPPET: svelte#createEventDispatcher
Creates an event dispatcher that can be used to dispatch [component events](/docs/component-directives#on-eventname). Event dispatchers are functions that can take two arguments: `name` and `detail`.
Component events created with `createEventDispatcher` create a [CustomEvent](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/CustomEvent). These events do not [bubble](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/JavaScript/Building_blocks/Events#Event_bubbling_and_capture). The `detail` argument corresponds to the [CustomEvent.detail](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/CustomEvent/detail) property and can contain any type of data.
```svelte
<script>
import { createEventDispatcher } from 'svelte';
const dispatch = createEventDispatcher();
</script>
<button on:click={() => dispatch('notify', 'detail value')}>Fire Event</button>
```
Events dispatched from child components can be listened to in their parent. Any data provided when the event was dispatched is available on the `detail` property of the event object.
```svelte
<script>
function callbackFunction(event) {
console.log(`Notify fired! Detail: ${event.detail}`);
}
</script>
<Child on:notify={callbackFunction} />
```
Events can be cancelable by passing a third parameter to the dispatch function. The function returns `false` if the event is cancelled with `event.preventDefault()`, otherwise it returns `true`.
```svelte
<script>
import { createEventDispatcher } from 'svelte';
const dispatch = createEventDispatcher();
function notify() {
const shouldContinue = dispatch('notify', 'detail value', { cancelable: true });
if (shouldContinue) {
// no one called preventDefault
} else {
// a listener called preventDefault
}
}
</script>
```
