I have this code in my svelte component:

$: {
    console.log(dateRange)
    formatDataForChart()
        .then(data => chartData = data);
}

I want to run FormatDataForChart() when dateRange is updated, but i dont actually do anything with dateRange in this segment (it is used in FormatDataForChart()). So if i were to remove the console.log here the $: would not run when dateRange is updated, is there a way for me to make sure it still runs without having a console.log or similar?

To clarify, the same code segment in react i would do like this:

useEffect(() => {
    formatDataForChart()
        .then(data => chartData = data);
}, [dateRange]);

The only way i can think of “using” dateRange here is by sending it as a parameter to FormatDataForChart(), but that also seems kinda dumb. I am new to Svelte and i just hope there is a better way to deal with this.
