Learn when to use each Svelte store type, see a comparison table, and follow a concrete example that shows how to create, update, and validate them.
Learn how Svelte’s reactive statements ($:) enable automatic, zero‑overhead side‑effects and see a concrete debounced search example that reduces unnecessary API calls.
An architecture note on Svelte stores: when shared state justifies a store, the read-only-export pattern that enforces a single write boundary, SSR caveats, and the leak and reactivity failure modes to check for.
Svelte 5 replaces implicit $: reactive statements with explicit runes. Learn when to use $state, $derived, and $effect, with a worked migration and the mistakes that cause loops.
Learn how to use Svelte derived stores for global state: requirements, minimal design, data boundaries, operational checks, failure modes, and when to revisit the design.
When a Svelte variable changes but the DOM stays static, the issue is usually missing assignment-based invalidation. Learn how to diagnose and fix it in Svelte 3/4 and note differences in Svelte 5.
Svelte's $: reactive statements turn derived state from an update-everywhere liability into a declare-once guarantee. Here's how they work, a working counter example, and the performance trade-off to watch.
Learn how to use Svelte's Context API to eliminate prop drilling. This guide covers reactive patterns using stores, Symbol-based keys, and common pitfalls like initialization timing.
