I have a simple svelte page in sveltekit:

<script>
    let array = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
</script>

{#each array as item}
    <li>{item}</li>
{/each}

<button
    on:click={() => {
        array.push('4');
        console.log(array);
    }}>Click Me</button
>

Pretty simple concept. When I update my array, I want the content on the page to be updated as well. Can someone help me on the road to figuring out what I need to do this? Thanks IA!

PS– The array is successfully updating on the button click

>Solution :

Svelte’s reactivity is triggered by assignments, so if you push to an array you must write array = array after it to tell the Svelte compiler it has changed.

Example (REPL)

<script>
    let array = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
</script>

{#each array as item}
    <li>{item}</li>
{/each}

<button
    on:click={() => {
        array.push('4');
        array = array;
    }}
>
    Click Me
</button>
