Usage & Documentation

See the dedicated documentation page here.

Quick Start

Given this svelte.config.js...

// svelte.config.js
import preaction from '@svelte-put/preaction/preprocess';

/** @type {import('@sveltejs/kit').Config} */
const config = {
  preprocess: [
		preaction(),
    // other preprocessors
  ],
};
export default config;

...make a "preaction"...

import type { HTMLAttributes } from 'svelte/elements';
import { make } from '@svelte-put/preaction';

export const setMyColor = make((initialColor = 'blue') => {
  // :::highlight
  // this code runs both both on server and client, as if it is top-level script code.
  // So don't rely on browser stuff such as `document` or `window`.
  // :::

  return {
    action = (node: HTMLElement, color: string) => {
      // :::highlight
      // this code is a typical Svelte action and runs only on client
      // :::
      return {
        update: (newColor: string) => {
          // update the color attribute dynamically at runtime
          node.dataset.color = newColor;
        },
      }
    },

    attributes: {
      // :::highlight
      // this attributes will be statically spread onto the node
      // :::
      'data-color': initialColor;
    } as HTMLAttributes<HTMLElement>,
  };
});

// For typescript users, to take full advantage of language tooling,
// like make sure to provide type parameters and attributes as seen above.

...apply a "preaction"...

<script>
  import { apply } from '@svelte-put/preaction';
  import { setMyColor } from './set-my-color.ts'; // see previous step
</script>

<!-- add data-color on server, and apply action on client -->
<div use:apply={setMyColor('red')}></div>

...which is equivalent to...

<script>
  import { setMyColor } from './set-my-color.ts'; // see previous step
	const { acton, attributes } = setMyColor('red');
</script>

<!-- add data-color on server, and apply action on client -->
<div {...(attributes ?? {})} use:action={'red'}></div>
