Common Mistakes

Importing from 'svelte/transition' instead of 'svelte/animate'.

Using 'motion' or 'tweened' which are different features.

The animate directive is imported from svelte/animate to enable animations between state changes.

Complete the code to apply the animate directive to a list with the flip animation.

Svelte

<ul animate:[1]=[2]>
  {#each items as item}
    <li>{item}</li>
  {/each}
</ul>

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using fade or slide with animate directive.

Not passing the animation function to the directive.

The flip animation is the built-in animation used with the animate directive to smoothly rearrange list items.

3fill in blank

hard

Fix the error in the animate directive usage by completing the code correctly.

Svelte

<ul animate:[1]={flip}>
  {#each items as item}
    <li>{item}</li>
  {/each}
</ul>

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Calling the animation function with parentheses inside the directive.

Using the wrong directive name like animate:animate.

The animate directive expects the animation function without calling it. So use flip, not flip().

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to create a reactive list that animates item reordering with the flip animation.

Svelte

<script>
  import { [1] } from 'svelte/animate';
  let items = [1, 2, 3];

  function shuffle() {
    items = items.sort(() => Math.random() - 0.5);
  }
</script>

<button on:click={shuffle}>Shuffle</button>
<ul animate:[2]={flip}>
  {#each items as item}
    <li>{item}</li>
  {/each}
</ul>

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Importing one animation but using another in the directive.

Forgetting to import the animation function.

Import and use the flip animation for the animate directive to smoothly animate the shuffled list.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to animate a list with flip and add a custom duration option.

Svelte

<script>
  import { [1] } from 'svelte/animate';
  let items = ["a", "b", "c"];
  let options = { duration: [2] };
</script>

<ul animate:[3]={flip}>
  {#each items as item}
    <li>{item}</li>
  {/each}
</ul>

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using different animation names in import and directive.

Setting duration as a string instead of a number.

Import flip, set duration to 300ms, and use flip in the animate directive for smooth animation with custom timing.

Practice

1. What is the main purpose of the animate:flip directive in Svelte?

easy

A. To add fade-in effects when elements appear.

B. To handle click events on elements.

C. To smoothly animate elements when their position changes in the DOM.

D. To style elements with CSS animations.

Solution

1. Step 1: Understand what animate:flip does

   The animate:flip directive animates elements smoothly when their position changes, especially in keyed {#each} blocks.

2. Step 2: Compare options with the directive's purpose

   Options A, C, and D describe other behaviors like fading, event handling, or styling, which are not the role of animate:flip.

3. Final Answer:

   To smoothly animate elements when their position changes in the DOM. -> Option C

4. Quick Check:

   Animate directive = smooth position change animation [OK]

Hint: Remember: animate:flip = smooth move on position change [OK]

Common Mistakes:

• Confusing animate:flip with transition or event directives
• Thinking it adds fade or color effects
• Assuming it handles user interactions

2. Which of the following is the correct syntax to apply the animate directive with the flip animation on a list item in Svelte?

easy

A. {item}

B. {item}

C. {item}

D. {item}

Solution

1. Step 1: Recall the correct directive syntax in Svelte

   Svelte uses the syntax animate:flip to apply the flip animation as a directive on elements.

2. Step 2: Check each option's syntax

3. {item}
uses animate:flip correctly. Options A, B, and D use incorrect syntax such as use:animate, hyphenated directive, or object notation which are invalid here.

4. Final Answer:

   <li animate:flip>{item}</li> -> Option A

5. Quick Check:

   Directive syntax = animate:flip [OK]

Hint: Use colon syntax for directives: animate:flip [OK]

Common Mistakes:

• Using use:animate instead of animate:flip
• Trying to pass flip as an object
• Hyphenating directive names

3. Given the following Svelte code, what will happen when the button is clicked?

{`


  {#each items as item (item)}
    
{item}
  {/each}


Shuffle`}

medium

A. The list items will smoothly move to their new positions after shuffling.

B. The list items will instantly change order without animation.

C. The list items will fade out and fade in after shuffling.

D. The code will cause a runtime error due to incorrect animate usage.

Solution

1. Step 1: Understand the use of animate:flip with keyed each block

   The list uses a keyed {#each} block with animate:flip on each li. When the array order changes, the directive animates the position changes smoothly.

2. Step 2: Analyze the shuffle function effect

   Clicking the button shuffles the items array randomly, causing the list order to change. The animate:flip directive animates the movement of items to their new positions.

3. Final Answer:

   The list items will smoothly move to their new positions after shuffling. -> Option A

4. Quick Check:

   animate:flip + keyed list = smooth reorder animation [OK]

Hint: Keyed list + animate:flip = smooth reorder animation [OK]

Common Mistakes:

• Ignoring the keyed block requirement
• Expecting fade instead of position animation
• Thinking the list instantly changes without animation

4. Identify the error in this Svelte code snippet using the animate directive:

{`


  {#each numbers as num}
    
{num}
  {/each}
`}

medium

A. The list items should be wrapped in a <div> for animation to work.

B. The animate directive is used incorrectly; it should be transition:flip.

C. The import statement for flip is unnecessary and causes an error.

D. The {#each} block is missing a key, so animate:flip won't work properly.

Solution

1. Step 1: Check the use of animate:flip in a list

   For animate:flip to animate position changes in a list, the {#each} block must be keyed to track items uniquely.

2. Step 2: Identify missing key in the {#each} block

   The code uses {#each numbers as num} without a key. This prevents Svelte from tracking item positions correctly, so animation won't work as expected.

3. Final Answer:

   The {#each} block is missing a key, so animate:flip won't work properly. -> Option D

4. Quick Check:

   Animate directive needs keyed each block [OK]

Hint: Always key items in {#each} for animate:flip to work [OK]

Common Mistakes:

• Forgetting to add a key in {#each}
• Confusing animate with transition directives
• Thinking import of flip is optional or wrong

5. You want to animate a list of tasks that can be reordered and filtered. Which approach correctly uses the animate:flip directive to ensure smooth animations when tasks move or disappear?

{`

 showDone = !showDone}>Toggle Done


  {#each tasks.filter(t => showDone || !t.done) as task (task.id)}
    
{task.text}
  {/each}
`}

hard

A. The key should be the task text, not task.id, for proper animation.

B. This code correctly uses a keyed {#each} block with animate:flip, animating reorder and filtering smoothly.

C. animate:flip cannot animate filtered lists; a transition directive is needed instead.

D. The filter inside {#each} breaks animation; tasks must be filtered outside the block.

Solution

1. Step 1: Analyze the use of filtering and keyed each block

   The code filters tasks inline and uses a keyed {#each} block with task.id as key, which is correct for tracking items uniquely.

2. Step 2: Confirm animate:flip usage for reorder and filtering

   Using animate:flip on the li elements animates position changes smoothly when tasks reorder or disappear due to filtering.

3. Final Answer:

   This code correctly uses a keyed {#each} block with animate:flip, animating reorder and filtering smoothly. -> Option B

4. Quick Check:

   Keyed filtered list + animate:flip = smooth reorder & filter animation [OK]

Hint: Key filtered list with unique id and animate:flip for smooth moves [OK]

Common Mistakes:

• Not keying filtered items uniquely
• Filtering outside {#each} causing stale keys
• Using text as key instead of unique id
