Example: Creating a Fading Card

Let's dive into a simple example. Imagine you have a card that you want to fade in when it's added to the DOM. With Svelte, it's a breeze:

<script>
  let showCard = false;

  function toggleCard() {
    showCard = !showCard;
  }
</script>

<main>
  <button on:click={toggleCard}>Toggle Card</button>
  {#if showCard}
    <div transition:fade>
      This is a fading card.
    </div>
  {/if}
</main>
