Conclusion
You can add clientWidth, clientHeight, offsetWidth and offsetHeight bindings to any element, and Svelte will update the bound values using a ResizeObserver:
App
<div bind:clientWidth={w} bind:clientHeight={h}>
<span style="font-size: {size}px" contenteditable>{text}</span>
<span class="size">{w} x {h}px</span>
</div>These bindings are readonly — changing the values of w and h won’t have any effect on the element.
display: inlineelements do not have a width or height (except for elements with ‘intrinsic’ dimensions, like<img>and<canvas>), and cannot be observed with aResizeObserver. You will need to change thedisplaystyle of these elements to something else, such asinline-block.
