Console warnings on client showing div with zero negative height

[cliffordkleinsr]

Describe Your Error

When mounting any chart I get the following error on the console from the client:

client.js?v=3aef0bf5:2692 [LayerCake] Target div has zero or negative height. Did you forget to set an explicit height in CSS on the container?

client.js?v=8ae4c4ed:2692 [svelte] reactive_declaration_non_reactive_property
A `$:` statement (node_modules/​layercake/​dist/​LayerCake.svelte:225:1) read reactive state that was not visible to the compiler. Updates to this state will not cause the statement to re-run. The behaviour of this code will change if you migrate it to runes mode

Hi @cliffordkleinsr 👋, thanks for the report. This is something I plan to investigate/resolve when I fully migrate to Svelte 5 (runes, snippets). I noticed this started when I updated the docs to run on Svelte 5, and there appears to be some timing difference that I haven't been able to workaround/resolve.

What's interesting is the returned width/height measurements are different if you initially render the page (or refresh) vs going to the page from a link (client side routing). This is with SSR disabled as well

Client navigation (click on link to render new page)

Page load (no ssr)

LayerCake provides these using bind:clientWidth / bind:clientHeight. In Svelte 5, they now use ResizeObserver instead of a hidden iframe to calculate the dimensions, which might have affected the timings.

Note: there is a non-passive event warning I'm also tracking in #292 to cleanup as well.

Many thanks and also thank you for the wonderful library. I will await further input as you migrate the library.

Looks like reactive_declaration_non_reactive_property warnings might be getting cleaned up in an upcoming release.
