What happens when a button click event triggers in Svelte?

Consider this Svelte component:

  <script>
    let count = 0;
    function increment() {
      count += 1;
    }
  </script>

  <button on:click={increment}>Click me</button>
  <p>Count: {count}</p>

What will the user see after clicking the button three times?

Svelte
  <script>
    let count = 0;
    function increment() {
      count += 1;
    }
  </script>

  <button on:click={increment}>Click me</button>
  <p>Count: {count}</p>
ACount: 3
BCount: 1
CCount: 0
DCount: undefined

💡 Hint

Each click calls the increment function which adds 1 to count.

What is the value of the variable after a keydown event?

Look at this Svelte code snippet:

  <script>
    let message = '';
    function handleKey(event) {
      message = event.key;
    }
  </script>

  <input on:keydown={handleKey} placeholder="Press a key"/>
  <p>Last key pressed: {message}</p>

If the user presses the 'a' key, what will message show?

Svelte
  <script>
    let message = '';
    function handleKey(event) {
      message = event.key;
    }
  </script>

  <input on:keydown={handleKey} placeholder="Press a key"/>
  <p>Last key pressed: {message}</p>
ALast key pressed: undefined
BLast key pressed: KeyA
CLast key pressed: a
DLast key pressed: keydown

💡 Hint

The event.key property holds the character of the key pressed.

Which option correctly attaches a custom event listener in Svelte?

You want to listen to a custom event named myevent on a child component. Which syntax is correct?

B<ChildComponent on:myevent={handleEvent} />
C<ChildComponent @myevent={handleEvent} />
D<ChildComponent event:myevent={handleEvent} />

Why does this event handler not update the UI?

Examine this Svelte code:

  <script>
    let count = {value: 0};
    function increment() {
      count.value++;
    }
  </script>

  <button on:click={increment}>Add</button>
  <p>Count: {count.value}</p>

Clicking the button does not update the displayed count. Why?

Svelte
  <script>
    let count = {value: 0};
    function increment() {
      count.value++;
    }
  </script>

  <button on:click={increment}>Add</button>
  <p>Count: {count.value}</p>
AThe count variable is mutated but not reassigned, so Svelte does not detect the change.
BThe increment function is not called because the event listener is incorrect.
CThe count variable is declared with let instead of const.
DThe button element is missing an aria-label for accessibility.

💡 Hint

Svelte tracks changes by assignments, not mutations.

Why are events essential for user interaction in Svelte?

Which statement best explains why events drive user interaction in Svelte?

AEvents are only used for styling changes and do not affect component logic.
BEvents automatically reload the entire page when a user interacts, ensuring fresh content.
CEvents prevent any changes to the UI until the user submits a form.
DEvents allow Svelte components to react to user actions by running code and updating state, enabling dynamic interfaces.

💡 Hint

Think about how user clicks or key presses change what you see.
