Svelte · Middle · Question 23 of 75

What does `createContext` (Svelte 5.40+) give you?

import { createContext } from "svelte";
export const [getUser, setUser] = createContext<User>();

✓Correct answer: A typed pair of functions to get and set context, without inventing keys
2A global store
3A React-style Provider component

Explanation

getUser() throws if no ancestor set the context, which catches mistakes early. Svelte recommends it over setContext/getContext.
