The `@tanstack/svelte-query` package offers a 1st-class API for using TanStack Query via Svelte.

## Example

```svelte
<script lang="ts">
import { QueryClient, QueryClientProvider } from '@tanstack/svelte-query'
import Example from './lib/Example.svelte'

const queryClient = new QueryClient()
</script>

<QueryClientProvider client={queryClient}>
<Example />
</QueryClientProvider>
```

Then call any function (e.g. createQuery) from any component:

```svelte
<script lang="ts">
import { createQuery } from '@tanstack/svelte-query'

const query = createQuery(() => ({
queryKey: ['todos'],
queryFn: () => fetchTodos(),
}))
</script>

<div>
{#if query.isPending}
<p>Loading...</p>
{:else if query.isError}
<p>Error: {query.error.message}</p>
{:else if query.isSuccess}
{#each query.data as todo}
<p>{todo.title}</p>
{/each}
{/if}
</div>
```

## Important Differences between Svelte Query & React Query

Svelte Query offers an API similar to React Query, but there are some key differences to be mindful of.

- Arguments to `svelte-query` primitives (like `createQuery`, `createMutation`, `useIsFetching`) are functions, so that they can be tracked in a reactive scope.

```ts
// ❌ react version
useQuery({
queryKey: ['todos', todo],
queryFn: fetchTodos,
})

// ✅ svelte version
createQuery(() => ({
queryKey: ['todos', todo],
queryFn: fetchTodos,
}))
```

- Svelte Query primitives do not support destructuring. The return value from these functions is a store, and their properties are only tracked in a reactive context.

Describe the query result as a reactive object.

createQuery returns a CreateQueryResult, which is a reactive QueryObserverResult, not a store. Replace “store” to avoid incorrect $ store syntax.

- Runes values can be passed in directly to function arguments. Svelte Query will update the query automatically.

```svelte
<script lang="ts">
import { createQuery } from '@tanstack/svelte-query'

let enabled = $state(false);
let todoCount = $state(0);

// ✅ passing a rune directly is safe and observers update
// automatically when the value of a rune changes
const todosQuery = createQuery(() => ({
queryKey: ['todos'],
queryFn: () => fetchTodos(),
enabled: enabled,
}))

const todoDetailsQuery = createQuery(() => ({
queryKey: ['todo', todoCount],
queryFn: fetchTodo,
enabled: todoCount > 0,
}))
</script>

Svelte 5 event handlers onclick lowercase onClick official documentation

💡 Result:

In Svelte 5, you must use lowercase attribute names for event handlers (e.g., onclick) [1][2][3]. Official documentation specifies that event attributes are case-sensitive [1]. While HTML attributes are often case-insensitive, Svelte 5 treats onclick and onClick as distinct; onclick is the standard attribute that correctly binds to the DOM click event [1]. Using an incorrect case, such as onClick, will not trigger the expected event handler [4][5][2]. This change is part of the Svelte 5 migration away from the on: directive in favor of using standard DOM event attributes as properties [6][7][3]. For example, instead of the Svelte 4 syntax on:click={handler}, you should use onclick={handler} [6][7]. Key takeaways regarding this change include: - Consistency: Event handler names must be fully lowercase [2][3]. - Case-sensitivity: Svelte distinguishes between different casings to allow for custom events that might use uppercase characters, meaning incorrect casing for standard DOM events will fail [1]. - Migration: When migrating, remember to remove the colon (:) and ensure the property name is all lowercase [6][7]. - Best practice: Always use lowercase standard DOM attribute names to ensure compatibility and avoid silent failures [2].

Use lowercase Svelte event attributes.

Replace both onClick handlers with onclick. Svelte 5 treats event attributes as case-sensitive, so onClick does not bind the click event.

- Errors can be caught and reset using Svelte's native `<svelte:boundary>` component.
Set `throwOnError` option to `true` to make sure errors are thrown to the `<svelte:boundary>` component.

- Since Property tracking is handled through Svelte's fine grained reactivity, options like `notifyOnChangeProps` are not needed

Use the hyphenated compound adjective.

Change fine grained reactivity to fine-grained reactivity. Also use lowercase property after Since.
