Conclusion

As with class, you can write your inline style attributes literally, because Svelte is really just HTML with fancy bits:

App
<button
	class="card"
	style="transform: {flipped ? 'rotateY(0)' : ''}; --bg-1: palegoldenrod; --bg-2: black; --bg-3: goldenrod"
	onclick={() => flipped = !flipped}
>

When you have a lot of styles, it can start to look a bit wacky. We can tidy things up by using the style: directive:

App
<button
	class="card"
	style:transform={flipped ? 'rotateY(0)' : ''}
	style:--bg-1="palegoldenrod"
	style:--bg-2="black"
	style:--bg-3="goldenrod"
	onclick={() => flipped = !flipped}
>
