Svelte · Junior · Question 44 of 76

What does the `$` prefix do with a store in a component?

<script>
  import { count } from "./stores.js";
</script>

<p>{$count}</p>

✓Correct answer: Subscribes to the store, reads its current value and unsubscribes when the component is destroyed
2Creates a copy of the store
3Marks the store as deprecated

Explanation

Assigning $count = 1 calls count.set(1) on a writable store. The store must be declared at the top level of the component.
