Basic SvelteKit / Stores

Part 3/ Stores/page

As we learned earlier, Svelte stores are a place to put data that doesn't belong to an individual component.

SvelteKit makes three readonly stores available via the $app/stores module — page, navigating and updated. The one you'll use most often is page, which provides information about the current page:

• url — the URL of the current page
• params — the current page's parameters
• route — an object with an id property representing the current route
• status — the HTTP status code of the current page
• error — the error object of the current page, if any (you'll learn more about error handling in later exercises)
• data — the data for the current page, combining the return values of all load functions
• form — the data returned from a form action

As with any other store, you can reference its value in a component by prefixing its name with the $ symbol. For example, we can access the current pathname as $page.url.pathname:

<script>
	import { page } from '$app/stores';
</script>

<nav>
	<a href="/" aria-current={$page.url.pathname === '/'}>
		home
	</a>

	<a href="/about" aria-current={$page.url.pathname === '/about'}>
		about
	</a>
</nav>
