At the heart of Svelte is a powerful system of reactivity for keeping the DOM in sync with your application state — for example, in response to an event.
To demonstrate it, we first need to wire up an event handler (we'll learn more about these later):
App.svelte
<button on:click={increment}>
Clicked {count}
{count === 1 ? 'time' : 'times'}
</button>
Inside the increment
function, all we need to do is change the value of count
:
App.svelte
function increment() {
count += 1;
}
Svelte 'instruments' this assignment with some code that tells it the DOM will need to be updated.
