# .cursorrunes for Svelte 5
## Overview of Changes
Svelte 5 introduces runes, a set of advanced primitives for controlling reactivity. The runes replace certain non-runes features and provide more explicit control over state and effects.
Snippets, along with render tags, help create reusable chunks of markup inside your components, reducing duplication and enhancing maintainability.
## Event Handlers in Svelte 5
In Svelte 5, event handlers are treated as standard HTML properties rather than Svelte-specific directives, simplifying their use and integrating them more closely with the rest of the properties in the component.
### Svelte 4 vs. Svelte 5:
**Before (Svelte 4):**
```html
<script>
let count = 0;
$: double = count * 2;
$: {
if (count > 10) alert('Too high!');
}
</script>
<button on:click={() => count++}> {count} / {double}</button>
```
**After (Svelte 5):**
```html
<script>
import { $state, $effect, $derived } from 'svelte';
// Define state with runes
let count = $state(0);
// Option 1: Using $derived for computed values
let double = $derived(count * 2);
// Reactive effects using runes
$effect(() => {
if (count > 10) alert('Too high!');
});
</script>
<!-- Standard HTML event attributes instead of Svelte directives -->
<button onclick={() => count++}>
{count} / {double}
</button>
<!-- Alternatively, you can compute values inline -->
<!-- <button onclick={() => count++}>
{count} / {count * 2}
</button> -->
```
## Key Differences:
1. **Reactivity is Explicit**:
- Svelte 5 uses `$state()` to explicitly mark reactive variables
- `$derived()` replaces `$:` for computed values
- `$effect()` replaces `$: {}` blocks for side effects
2. **Event Handling is Standardized**:
- Svelte 4: `on:click={handler}`
- Svelte 5: `onclick={handler}`
3. **Import Runes**:
- All runes must be imported from 'svelte': `import { $state, $effect, $derived, $props, $slots } from 'svelte';`
4. **No More Event Modifiers**:
- Svelte 4: `on:click|preventDefault={handler}`
- Svelte 5: `onclick={e => { e.preventDefault(); handler(e); }}`
This creates clearer, more maintainable components compared to Svelte 4's previous syntax by making reactivity explicit and using standardized web platform features.
