$state

The $state rune allows you to create reactive state, which means that your UI reacts when it changes.

<script>
	let count = $state(0);
</script>

<button onclick={() => count++}>
	clicks: {count}
</button>

Unlike other frameworks you may have encountered, there is no API for interacting with state — count is just a number, rather than an object or a function, and you can update it like you would update any other variable.

Deep state

If $state is used with an array or a simple object, the result is a deeply reactive state proxy. Proxies allow Svelte to run code when you read or write properties, including via methods like array.push(...), triggering granular updates.

State is proxified recursively until Svelte finds something other than an array or simple object (like a class or an object created with Object.create). In a case like this...

let 
let todos: {
    done: boolean;
    text: string;
}[]
todos = 
function $state<{
    done: boolean;
    text: string;
}[]>(initial: {
    done: boolean;
    text: string;
}[]): {
    done: boolean;
    text: string;
}[] (+1 overload)
namespace $state
Declares reactive state.


Example:


let count = $state(0);
https://svelte.dev/docs/svelte/$state


@paraminitial The initial value
$state([
	{
		done: booleandone: false,
		text: stringtext: 'add more todos'
	}
]);

...modifying an individual todo’s property will trigger updates to anything in your UI that depends on that specific property:

module todos
let todos: {
    done: boolean;
    text: string;
}[]
todos[0].done: booleandone = !
module todos
let todos: {
    done: boolean;
    text: string;
}[]
todos[0].done: booleandone;

If you push a new object to the array, it will also be proxified:

let todos: {
    done: boolean;
    text: string;
}[]
todos.
Array<{ done: boolean; text: string; }>.push(...items: {
    done: boolean;
    text: string;
}[]): number
Appends new elements to the end of an array, and returns the new length of the array.


@paramitems New elements to add to the array.
push({
	done: booleandone: false,
	text: stringtext: 'eat lunch'
});

When you update properties of proxies, the original object is not mutated. If you need to use your own proxy handlers in a state proxy, you should wrap the object after wrapping it in $state.

Note that if you destructure a reactive value, the references are not reactive — as in normal JavaScript, they are evaluated at the point of destructuring:

let { let done: booleandone, let text: stringtext } = 
module todos
let todos: {
    done: boolean;
    text: string;
}[]
todos[0];

// this will not affect the value of `done`

module todos
let todos: {
    done: boolean;
    text: string;
}[]
todos[0].done: booleandone = !
module todos
let todos: {
    done: boolean;
    text: string;
}[]
todos[0].done: booleandone;

Classes

Class instances are not proxied. Instead, you can use $state in class fields (whether public or private), or as the first assignment to a property immediately inside the constructor:

class class TodoTodo {
	Todo.done: booleandone = 
function $state<false>(initial: false): false (+1 overload)
namespace $state
Declares reactive state.


Example:


let count = $state(0);
https://svelte.dev/docs/svelte/$state


@paraminitial The initial value
$state(false);

	constructor(text) {
		this.Todo.text: anytext = 
function $state<any>(initial: any): any (+1 overload)
namespace $state
Declares reactive state.


Example:


let count = $state(0);
https://svelte.dev/docs/svelte/$state


@paraminitial The initial value
$state(text: anytext);
	}

	Todo.reset(): voidreset() {
		this.Todo.text: anytext = '';
		this.Todo.done: booleandone = false;
	}
}

The compiler transforms done and text into get / set methods on the class prototype referencing private fields. This means the properties are not enumerable.

When calling methods in JavaScript, the value of this matters. This won’t work, because this inside the reset method will be the <button> rather than the Todo:

<button onclick={todo.reset}>
	reset
</button>

You can either use an inline function...

<button onclick={() => todo.reset()}>
	reset
</button>

...or use an arrow function in the class definition:

class class TodoTodo {
	Todo.done: booleandone = 
function $state<false>(initial: false): false (+1 overload)
namespace $state
Declares reactive state.


Example:


let count = $state(0);
https://svelte.dev/docs/svelte/$state


@paraminitial The initial value
$state(false);

	constructor(text) {
		this.Todo.text: anytext = 
function $state<any>(initial: any): any (+1 overload)
namespace $state
Declares reactive state.


Example:


let count = $state(0);
https://svelte.dev/docs/svelte/$state


@paraminitial The initial value
$state(text: anytext);
	}

	Todo.reset: () => voidreset = () => {
		this.Todo.text: anytext = '';
		this.Todo.done: booleandone = false;
	}
}

Built-in classes

Svelte provides reactive implementations of built-in classes like Set, Map, Date and URL that can be imported from svelte/reactivity.

$state.raw

In cases where you don’t want objects and arrays to be deeply reactive you can use $state.raw.

State declared with $state.raw cannot be mutated; it can only be reassigned. In other words, rather than assigning to a property of an object, or using an array method like push, replace the object or array altogether if you’d like to update it:

let 
let person: {
    name: string;
    age: number;
}
person = 
namespace $state
function $state<T>(initial: T): T (+1 overload)
Declares reactive state.


Example:


let count = $state(0);
https://svelte.dev/docs/svelte/$state


@paraminitial The initial value
$state.
function $state.raw<{
    name: string;
    age: number;
}>(initial: {
    name: string;
    age: number;
}): {
    name: string;
    age: number;
} (+1 overload)
Declares state that is not made deeply reactive — instead of mutating it,
you must reassign it.


Example:


&#x3C;script>
  let items = $state.raw([0]);

  const addItem = () => {
	items = [...items, items.length];
  };
&#x3C;/script>

&#x3C;button on:click={addItem}>
  {items.join(', ')}
&#x3C;/button>
https://svelte.dev/docs/svelte/$state#$state.raw


@paraminitial The initial value
raw({
	name: stringname: 'Heraclitus',
	age: numberage: 49
});

// this will have no effect

let person: {
    name: string;
    age: number;
}
person.age: numberage += 1;

// this will work, because we're creating a new person

let person: {
    name: string;
    age: number;
}
person = {
	name: stringname: 'Heraclitus',
	age: numberage: 50
};

This can improve performance with large arrays and objects that you weren’t planning to mutate anyway, since it avoids the cost of making them reactive. Note that raw state can contain reactive state (for example, a raw array of reactive objects).

As with $state, you can declare class fields using $state.raw.

$state.snapshot

To take a static snapshot of a deeply reactive $state proxy, use $state.snapshot:

<script>
	let counter = $state({ count: 0 });

	function onclick() {
		// Will log `{ count: ... }` rather than `Proxy { ... }`
		console.log($state.snapshot(counter));
	}
</script>

This is handy when you want to pass some state to an external library or API that doesn’t expect a proxy, such as structuredClone.

Passing state into functions

JavaScript is a pass-by-value language — when you call a function, the arguments are the values rather than the variables. In other words:

index
/**
 * @param {number} a
 * @param {number} b
 */
function function add(a: number, b: number): number
@parama 
@paramb 
add(a: number
@parama 
a, b: number
@paramb 
b) {
	return a: number
@parama 
a + b: number
@paramb 
b;
}

let let a: numbera = 1;
let let b: numberb = 2;
let let total: numbertotal = function add(a: number, b: number): number
@parama 
@paramb 
add(let a: numbera, let b: numberb);
var console: Console
The console module provides a simple debugging console that is similar to the
JavaScript console mechanism provided by web browsers.


The module exports two specific components:


    

  • A Console class with methods such as console.log(), console.error() and console.warn() that can be used to write to any Node.js stream.
    • 

  • A global console instance configured to write to process.stdout and
process.stderr. The global console can be used without importing the node:console module.
    • 



Warning: The global console object’s methods are neither consistently
synchronous like the browser APIs they resemble, nor are they consistently
asynchronous like all other Node.js streams. See the note on process I/O for
more information.


Example using the global console:


console.log('hello world');
// Prints: hello world, to stdout
console.log('hello %s', 'world');
// Prints: hello world, to stdout
console.error(new Error('Whoops, something bad happened'));
// Prints error message and stack trace to stderr:
//   Error: Whoops, something bad happened
//     at [eval]:5:15
//     at Script.runInThisContext (node:vm:132:18)
//     at Object.runInThisContext (node:vm:309:38)
//     at node:internal/process/execution:77:19
//     at [eval]-wrapper:6:22
//     at evalScript (node:internal/process/execution:76:60)
//     at node:internal/main/eval_string:23:3

const name = 'Will Robinson';
console.warn(`Danger ${name}! Danger!`);
// Prints: Danger Will Robinson! Danger!, to stderr
Example using the Console class:

const name = 'Will Robinson';
myConsole.warn(`Danger ${name}! Danger!`);
// Prints: Danger Will Robinson! Danger!, to err
@seesource
console.Console.log(message?: any, ...optionalParams: any[]): void (+1 overload)
Prints to stdout with newline. Multiple arguments can be passed, with the

values similar to printf(3)
(the arguments are all passed to util.format()).


const count = 5;
console.log('count: %d', count);

The console module provides a simple debugging console that is similar to the

The module exports two specific components:


    

  • A Console class with methods such as console.log(), console.error() and console.warn() that can be used to write to any Node.js stream.
    • 

  • A global console instance configured to write to process.stdout and
process.stderr. The global console can be used without importing the node:console module.
    • 



Warning: The global console object’s methods are neither consistently
synchronous like the browser APIs they resemble, nor are they consistently
asynchronous like all other Node.js streams. See the note on process I/O for
more information.

State in Svelte is no different — when you reference something declared with the $state rune...

let let a: numbera = 
function $state<1>(initial: 1): 1 (+1 overload)
namespace $state
Declares reactive state.


Example:


let count = $state(0);
https://svelte.dev/docs/svelte/$state


@paraminitial The initial value
$state(1);
let let b: numberb = 
function $state<2>(initial: 2): 2 (+1 overload)
namespace $state
Declares reactive state.


Example:


let count = $state(0);
https://svelte.dev/docs/svelte/$state


@paraminitial The initial value
$state(2);

...you’re accessing its current value.

Note that ‘functions’ is broad — it encompasses properties of proxies and get/set properties...

Passing state across modules

You can declare state in .svelte.js and .svelte.ts files, but you can only export that state if it’s not directly reassigned. In other words you can’t do this:

state.svelte
export let let count: numbercount = 
function $state<0>(initial: 0): 0 (+1 overload)
namespace $state
Declares reactive state.


Example:


let count = $state(0);
https://svelte.dev/docs/svelte/$state


@paraminitial The initial value
$state(0);

export function function increment(): voidincrement() {
	let count: numbercount += 1;
}

That’s because every reference to count is transformed by the Svelte compiler — the code above is roughly equivalent to this:

state.svelte
export let let count: Signal<number>count = const $: Svelte$.Svelte.state<number>(value?: number | undefined): Signal<number>state(0);

export function function increment(): voidincrement() {
	const $: Svelte$.Svelte.set<number>(source: Signal<number>, value: number): voidset(let count: Signal<number>count, const $: Svelte$.Svelte.get<number>(source: Signal<number>): numberget(let count: Signal<number>count) + 1);
}

You can see the code Svelte generates by clicking the ‘JS Output’ tab in the playground.

Since the compiler only operates on one file at a time, if another file imports count Svelte doesn’t know that it needs to wrap each reference in $.get and $.set:

import { let count: numbercount } from './state.svelte.js';
