Part 1 / Logic / Else blocks

Just like in JavaScript, an if block can have an else block:

App.svelte
{#if count > 10}
	<p>{count} is greater than 10</p>
{:else}
	<p>{count} is between 0 and 10</p>
{/if}

A # character always indicates a block opening tag. A / character always indicates a block closing tag. A : character, as in {:else}, indicates a block continuation tag. Don't worry — you've already learned almost all the syntax Svelte adds to HTML.

	let count = 0;
 
	function increment() {
		count += 1;
	}
</script>
 
<button on:click={increment}>
	Clicked {count}
	{count === 1 ? 'time' : 'times'}
</button>
 
{#if count > 10}
	<p>{count} is greater than 10</p>
{/if}
