如何在苗条的商店中引用反应式 $ 变量？

Question

I'll brief.

I have a reactive variable that updates everytime a user adds a product to a shoppingcart.

let cartItems = []
$: cartLength = cartitems.length;

Now I want to put the length of the cart items into icon in a different component. So I tried to create and share it with the rest of the component.

import { writable } from 'svelte/store';
export const cartItemsLength = writable("");

In my cartitems component. I tried to update the store after importing it into my component:

cartItemsLength.update(value=>{
value =  cartLength
})

But it shows undefined in my dev tools everytime. I tried $cartLength {$cartLength} So, my question, how do you assign that cartLength variable to the value inside the store update function?

Answer 1

writable store's update function should have a return value to be set in the store.

https://svelte.dev/docs#writable

// File cartitems.svelte

import { writable } from 'svelte/store';

export const cartItemsLength = writable(0);

let cartItems = [];
$: cartLength = cartItems.length;

// 1. use store's update function
cartItemsLength.update(value=> {
  return cartLength;
});

// 2. or you can just use $store if in .svelte script
$cartItemsLength = cartLength;
