Svelte Template Directives

@attach (Svelte 5.29+)

The reactive alternative to use: actions. Re-runs when dependencies change, passes through components via spread, supports cleanup functions.

svelte
<script>
	import ImageZoom from 'js-image-zoom';

	function useZoom(options) {
		return (element) => {
			new ImageZoom(element, options);
			return () => console.log('cleanup');
		};
	}
</script>

<!-- Re-runs if options changes (use: wouldn't!) -->
<figure {@attach useZoom({ width: 400 })}>
	<img src="photo.jpg" alt="zoomable" />
</figure>

Notes

  • @attach requires Svelte 5.29+
  • Use fromAction from svelte/attachments to convert legacy actions
  • Attachments pass through wrapper components when you spread props
  • Always use keyed each blocks — never use index as key
  • Use <svelte:window>/<svelte:document> for global events, not $effect
