Svelte 5 vs Aurelia 1
Svelte 5 and Aurelia 1 side by side: the same components written in both frameworks, from reactivity and templating to lifecycle, composition and forms.
Reactivity
Declare state
Update state
Templating
Minimal template
Styling
Loop
Event click
Dom ref
Conditional
<script>
const TRAFFIC_LIGHTS = ["red", "orange", "green"];
let lightIndex = $state(0);
const light = $derived(TRAFFIC_LIGHTS[lightIndex]);
function nextLight() {
lightIndex = (lightIndex + 1) % TRAFFIC_LIGHTS.length;
}
</script>
<button onclick={nextLight}>Next light</button>
<p>Light is: {light}</p>
<p>
You must
{#if light === "red"}
<span>STOP</span>
{:else if light === "orange"}
<span>SLOW DOWN</span>
{:else if light === "green"}
<span>GO</span>
{/if}
</p>
Aurelia 1
<template>
<button click.trigger="nextLight()">Next light</button>
<p>Light is: ${light}</p>
<p>
You must
<span if.bind="light === 'red'">STOP</span>
<span if.bind="light === 'orange'">SLOW DOWN</span>
<span if.bind="light === 'green'">GO</span>
</p>
</template>
Lifecycle
On mount
On unmount
<script>
let time = $state(new Date().toLocaleTimeString());
$effect(() => {
const timer = setInterval(() => {
time = new Date().toLocaleTimeString();
}, 1000);
return () => clearInterval(timer);
});
</script>
<p>Current time: {time}</p>
Aurelia 1
<template>
<p>Current time: ${time}</p>
</template>
Component composition
Props
<script>
import UserProfile from "./UserProfile.svelte";
</script>
<UserProfile
name="John"
age={20}
favouriteColors={["green", "blue", "red"]}
isAvailable
/>
Aurelia 1
<template>
<require from="./user-profile"></require>
<user-profile
name.bind="name"
age.bind="age"
favourite-colors.bind="colors"
is-available.bind="available"
></user-profile>
</template>
Emit to parent
<script>
import AnswerButton from "./AnswerButton.svelte";
let isHappy = $state(true);
function onAnswerNo() {
isHappy = false;
}
function onAnswerYes() {
isHappy = true;
}
</script>
<p>Are you happy?</p>
<AnswerButton onYes={onAnswerYes} onNo={onAnswerNo} />
<p style="font-size: 50px;">{isHappy ? "😀" : "😥"}</p>
Aurelia 1
<template>
<require from="./answer-button"></require>
<p>Can I come ?</p>
<answer-button action-handler.call="handleAnswer(reply)"></answer-button>
<p style="font-size: 50px">${isHappy ? "😀" : "😥"}</p>
</template>
Slot
Slot fallback
Context
<script>
import { setContext } from "svelte";
import UserProfile from "./UserProfile.svelte";
import createUserState from "./createUserState.svelte.js";
const user = createUserState({
id: 1,
username: "unicorn42",
email: "unicorn42@example.com",
});
setContext("user", user);
</script>
<h1>Welcome back, {user.username}</h1>
<UserProfile />
