Summary

In this chapter, we went through six different methods to style a Svelte component. So, do you know which method you are going to use to style your Svelte component? You should now know to choose the approach that is best suited for the scenario.

We then saw how to use Tailwind CSS in a Svelte project. It takes some initial setup to get Tailwind up and running at the beginning, but CSS frameworks such as Tailwind CSS usually come with predefined CSS classes, and most of the time, you use a class attribute or the class: directive to apply them.

Finally, we covered how we can use the CSS custom property to theme Svelte components and how to allow component users to customize the style of a component. You can now create and share Svelte components while allowing others to have different styling than the default styles that you’ve created.

In the next chapter, we will look at how to manage the props and states of a Svelte component.
