Svelte Store update

I’m having a hard time understanding how to update my store in the same file in which it’s defined. I have the following store definition:

export const myStore = writable({
    myList: [],
    myOtherList: []
});

In a later function, say I want to update myList to another list sourceList. I’ve looked at a bunch of the update function examples, and none make any sense to me. What I want to do is something like this (which obviously doesn’t work):

myStore.myList = sourceList

but for the life of me I can’t figure out the appropriate myStore.update() syntax.

>Solution :

In a Svelte file it’s just:

$myStore.myList = sourceList

Without $ syntax you could do:

myStore.update(current => ({ ...current, myList: sourceList }))
