# svelte/require-event-prefix

require component event names to start with “on”

  • ❗ This rule has not been released yet.

# 📖 Rule Details

Starting with Svelte 5, component events are just component props that are functions and so can be called like any function. Events for HTML elements all have their name begin with “on” (e.g. onclick). This rule enforces that all component events (i.e. function props) also begin with “on”.

<script lang="ts">
  /* eslint svelte/require-event-prefix: "error" */

  /* ✓ GOOD */

  interface Props {
    regularProp: string;
    onclick(): void;
  }

  let { regularProp, onclick }: Props = $props();
</script>
<script lang="ts">
  /* eslint svelte/require-event-prefix: "error" */

  /* ✗ BAD */

  interface Props {
    click(): void;
  }

  let { click }: Props = $props();
</script>
