Why do props pass data to children in Svelte?

In Svelte, why do we pass data to child components using props?

Choose the best explanation.

A Props are only used to style child components with CSS classes.

B Props allow child components to receive data from their parent, enabling dynamic rendering based on that data.

C Props automatically update the parent component's state when changed in the child.

D Props are used to send events from child to parent components.

💡 Hint

Think about how data flows from parent to child in component trees.

Props are a way to send data from a parent component to its children. This allows children to display or use that data dynamically. They do not send events or update parent state directly.

What happens when a prop changes in a Svelte child component?

Consider a parent component passing a prop to a child. What happens in the child component when the parent updates the prop value?

A The child component automatically re-renders to reflect the new prop value.

B The child component ignores the new prop value unless manually refreshed.

C The child component throws an error because props cannot change after initial load.

D The child component resets its internal state to default.

💡 Hint

Think about reactive updates in Svelte.

Svelte tracks prop changes and automatically updates the child component's rendering when props change.

📝 Syntax

Identify the correct way to declare and use props in a Svelte child component

Which option correctly declares a prop named 'title' in a Svelte child component and uses it in the template?

A

<script> const title = this.props.title; </script>
<h1>{title}</h1>

B

<script> let title = props.title; </script>
<h1>{title}</h1>

C

<script> export let title; </script>
<h1>{title}</h1>

D

<script> export const title; </script>
<h1>{title}</h1>

💡 Hint

In Svelte, props are declared with 'export let'.

Svelte uses 'export let' to declare props. Other options use invalid or non-Svelte syntax.

Why does this Svelte child component not receive the prop value?

Given the parent passes , but the child component shows an empty heading, what is the likely cause?

Svelte

<script>
  let title;
</script>
<h1>{title}</h1>

A The child component did not declare 'title' as an exported prop with 'export let title;'

B The parent component did not pass the prop correctly; it should be 'title={"Hello"}'

C Svelte does not support string props, only numbers

D The child component must use 'props.title' instead of 'title'

💡 Hint

Check how props are declared in Svelte child components.

In Svelte, props must be declared with 'export let' to receive values from parents. Without 'export', the variable is local and not set by the parent.

❓ lifecycle

expert

When does a Svelte child component receive updated prop values during its lifecycle?

At what point in a Svelte child component's lifecycle does it receive updated prop values from its parent?

A Only when the child component manually calls a refresh function.

B Before the component is created, during initialization.

C Immediately after the component is mounted to the DOM.

D Whenever the parent updates the prop, triggering reactive updates before the DOM updates.

💡 Hint

Consider Svelte's reactive update system and how props flow.

Svelte updates props reactively whenever the parent changes them, before the DOM updates, so the child always has the latest data during rendering.
