It’s not just variables that can be made reactive — in Svelte, we can also make properties of classes reactive.
Let’s make the width and height properties of our Box class reactive:
App
class Box {
width = $state(0);
height = $state(0);
area = 0;
// ...
}Now, when we interact with the range inputs or click the ‘embiggen’ button, the box reacts.
We can also use $derived, so that box.area updates reactively:
App
class Box {
width = $state(0);
height = $state(0);
area = $derived(this.width * this.height);
// ...
}In addition to
$stateand$derived, you can use$state.rawand$derived.byto define reactive fields.
