Conclusion
You can use the special bind:this directive to get a readonly binding to an element in your component.
The $effect in this exercise attempts to create a canvas context, but canvas is undefined. Begin by declaring it at the top level of the component...
App
<script>
import { paint } from './gradient.js';
let canvas;
$effect(() => {
// ...
});
</script><script lang="ts">
import { paint } from './gradient.js';
let canvas;
$effect(() => {
// ...
});
</script>...then add the directive to the <canvas> element:
App
<canvas bind:this={canvas} width={32} height={32}></canvas>Note that the value of canvas will remain undefined until the component has mounted — in other words you can’t access it until the $effect runs.
