Conclusion
Like any other attribute, you can specify classes with a JavaScript attribute. Here, we could add a flipped class to the card:
App
<button
class="card {flipped ? 'flipped' : ''}"
onclick={() => flipped = !flipped}
>This works as expected — if you click on the card now, it’ll flip.
We can make it nicer though. Adding or removing a class based on some condition is such a common pattern in UI development that Svelte includes a special directive to simplify it:
App
<button
class="card"
class:flipped={flipped}
onclick={() => flipped = !flipped}
>This directive means ‘add the flipped class whenever flipped is truthy’.
