Svelte prop array

[wind berry]

I am using a Svelte component with an array of globbed files as input. The component for testing is this:

SessionIndex2.svelte

<script lang="ts">
    export let files: Record<string, any>[];

    console.log("TEMP", files.pop());
</script>

<div>
</div>

While the parent class is this:

Foo.astro

---
import SessionsIndex2 from "@/components/rpg/SessionsIndex2.svelte";

const files = await Astro.glob('@content/rpg/star/sessions/*');
---

<SessionsIndex2 files={files} />

With this, though, I get this error:

Type '{ files: Record<string, any>[]; }' is not assignable to type 'IntrinsicAttributes & ComponentConstructorOptions<any>'.
Property 'files' does not exist on type 'IntrinsicAttributes & ComponentConstructorOptions<any>'

Hi @wind berry. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

It seems like you're trying to pass an array of files to a Svelte component from an Astro parent component. The error you're encountering suggests that the Svelte component isn't recognizing the files prop you're trying to pass to it.

Astro supports typing your component props via TypeScript. You can add a TypeScript Props interface to your component frontmatter. The Astro VSCode Extension will automatically look for the Props interface and give you proper TS support when you use that component inside another template. Here's an example from the Astro documentation (https://docs.astro.build/en/guides/typescript/#component-props):

---interface Props {  
  name: string;  
  greeting?: string;
}
const { greeting = 'Hello', name } = Astro.props;---
<h2>{greeting}, {name}!</h2>

In your case, you might want to define the Props interface in your Svelte component like this:

<script lang="ts">
    export interface Props {
        files: Record<string, any>[];
    }
    export let files: Props['files'];

    console.log("TEMP", files.pop());
</script>

<div>
</div>

This way, TypeScript should recognize the files prop you're trying to pass from the Astro parent component.

If you're still encountering issues, you might want to check the Astro documentation (https://docs.astro.build/en/guides/typescript/#component-props) or create a GitHub issue (https://github.com/withastro/docs/issues/new) to alert the Astro team of your problem.

@frail comet Your suggestion inside the svelte component leads to this:

Modifiers cannot appear here.
If this is a declare statement, move it into <script context="module">..</script>ts(1184)

in the export statement in the interface

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:

I apologize for the confusion. In Svelte, you don't need to declare an interface for props like you do in Astro. You can directly export the props in the script tag. The export keyword in Svelte makes the variable a prop that you can pass data to from a parent component.

Your Svelte component should look like this:

<script lang="ts">
    export let files: Record<string, any>[];

    console.log("TEMP", files.pop());
</script>

<div>
</div>

And you can pass the files prop from your Astro component like this:

---
import SessionsIndex2 from "@/components/rpg/SessionsIndex2.svelte";

const files = await Astro.glob('@content/rpg/star/sessions/*');
---

<SessionsIndex2 {files} />

In the Astro component, {files} is a shorthand for files={files}. This should pass the files array to your Svelte component without any TypeScript errors.

For more information on using TypeScript with Svelte and Astro, you can refer to the Astro documentation (https://docs.astro.build/en/guides/typescript/).

In your sugggestions for the astro component, I get this error

Type '{ files: Record<string, any>[]; }' is not assignable to type 'IntrinsicAttributes & ComponentConstructorOptions<any>'.
Property 'files' does not exist on type 'IntrinsicAttributes & ComponentConstructorOptions<any>'.

I apologize for the confusion earlier. The error message suggests that the Svelte component isn't recognizing the files prop you're trying to pass to it.

In Astro, when passing props to a Svelte component, you should not use the double curly braces {{ }}. Instead, you should pass the prop directly using a single equals sign =. Here's how you should modify your Astro component:

---
import SessionsIndex2 from "@/components/rpg/SessionsIndex2.svelte";

const files = await Astro.glob('@content/rpg/star/sessions/*');
---

<SessionsIndex2 files={files} />

This should pass the files array to your Svelte component without any TypeScript errors.

For more information on using Svelte components in Astro, you can refer to the Astro documentation (https://docs.astro.build/en/guides/astro-vs-svelte/). If you're still encountering issues, you might want to create a GitHub issue (https://github.com/withastro/docs/issues/new) to alert the Astro team of your problem.
