Key blocks destroy and recreate their contents when the value of an expression changes. This is useful if you want an element to play its transition whenever a value changes instead of only when the element enters or leaves the DOM.
Here, for example, we'd like to play the typewriter transition from transition.js whenever the loading message, i.e. i changes. Wrap the <p> element in a key block:
App.svelte
{#key i}
<p in:typewriter={{ speed: 10 }}>
{messages[i] || ''}
</p>
{/key}1

<script>
import { onMount } from 'svelte'; import { typewriter } from './transition.js'; import { messages } from './loading-messages.js';let i = -1;
onMount(() => { const interval = setInterval(() => {i += 1;
i %= messages.length;
}, 2500);
return () => {clearInterval(interval);
};
});
</script>
<h1>loading...</h1>
<p in:typewriter={{ speed: 10 }}> {messages[i] || ''}</p>
