State scope in Svelte

I'm a beginner with Svelte and I have the following component:

<script>
  let svgSelector = null;

  const renderMap = () => {
    const map = document.getElementById("map");
    const mapContainer = document.getElementById("mapContainer");
    svgSelector = SVG().addTo(map);

    svgSelector
      .size(mapContainer.offsetWidth, mapContainer.offsetHeight)
      .viewbox(
        0,
        0,
        $activeLayer.background.width,
        $activeLayer.background.height
      );

    svgSelector.image($activeLayer.background.url);

    return svgSelector;
  };

  onMount(() => {
    renderMap();

    /* Logs the correct node */
    console.log(svgSelector)
  });

  /* Logs null */
  console.log(svgSelector)
</script>

<main>
  {#each $hotspots as hotspot}
     <Hotspot hotspot={hotspot} svgSelector={svgSelector} />
  {/each}
</main>

The renderMap function returns an SVG node which I will use in a child component.

I need to send that node down to the child component, but it's coming through as null. How would one go about passing the node instead of the null value?

You could delay the rendering of your child Hotspot components until svgSelector has a value, or guard against svgSelector having value null inside Hotspot.

Example

{#if svgSelector}
  <main>
    {#each $hotspots as hotspot}
       <Hotspot hotspot={hotspot} svgSelector={svgSelector} />
    {/each}
  </main>
{/if}
