Svelte 4 migration guide

import { function createEventDispatcher<EventMap extends Record<string, any> = any>(): EventDispatcher<EventMap>
Creates an event dispatcher that can be used to dispatch component events.
Event dispatchers are functions that can take two arguments: name and detail.
Component events created with createEventDispatcher create a
CustomEvent.
These events do not bubble.
The detail argument corresponds to the CustomEvent.detail
property and can contain any type of data.
The event dispatcher can be typed to narrow the allowed event names and the type of the detail argument:
const dispatch = createEventDispatcher&#x3C;{
 loaded: never; // does not take a detail argument
 change: string; // takes a detail argument of type string, which is required
 optional: number | null; // takes an optional detail argument of type number
}>();
@deprecatedUse callback props and/or the $host() rune instead — see https://svelte-5-preview.vercel.app/docs/deprecations#createeventdispatchercreateEventDispatcher } from 'svelte';

const dispatch: EventDispatcher
<"required">(type: "required", parameter: string, options?: DispatchOptions | undefined) => booleandispatch('required'); // error, missing argument

				var console: Console
The console module provides a simple debugging console that is similar to the
JavaScript console mechanism provided by web browsers.
The module exports two specific components:

A Console class with methods such as console.log(), console.error() and console.warn() that can be used to write to any Node.js stream.
A global console instance configured to write to process.stdout and
process.stderr. The global console can be used without calling require('console').

Warning: The global console object’s methods are neither consistently
synchronous like the browser APIs they resemble, nor are they consistently
asynchronous like all other Node.js streams. See the note on process I/O for
more information.
Example using the global console:
console.log('hello world');
// Prints: hello world, to stdout
console.log('hello %s', 'world');
// Prints: hello world, to stdout
console.error(new Error('Whoops, something bad happened'));
// Prints error message and stack trace to stderr:
//   Error: Whoops, something bad happened
//     at [eval]:5:15
//     at Script.runInThisContext (node:vm:132:18)

//     at node:internal/main/eval_string:23:3

const name = 'Will Robinson';
console.warn(`Danger ${name}! Danger!`);
// Prints: Danger Will Robinson! Danger!, to stderr
Example using the Console class:

myConsole.log('hello world');
// Prints: hello world, to out
myConsole.log('hello %s', 'world');

// Prints: Danger Will Robinson! Danger!, to err
@seesourceconsole.Console.log(message?: any, ...optionalParams: any[]): void (+1 overload)
Prints to stdout with newline. Multiple arguments can be passed, with the
first used as the primary message and all additional used as substitution
values similar to printf(3)
(the arguments are all passed to util.format()).
const count = 5;
console.log('count: %d', count);
