Conclusion

Often, the name of the class will be the same as the name of the value it depends on:

<button
	class="card"
	class:flipped={flipped}
	onclick={() => flipped = !flipped}
>

In those cases we can use a shorthand form:

App
<button
	class="card"
	class:flipped
	onclick={() => flipped = !flipped}
>
