+ * Actions can return an object containing the two properties defined in this interface. Both are optional.
+ * - update: An action can have a parameter. This method will be called whenever that parameter changes,
+ *   immediately after Svelte has applied updates to the markup.
+ * - destroy: Method that is called after the element is unmounted
+ * 
+ * Example usage:
+ * ```ts
+ * export function myAction(node: HTMLElement, paramater: Parameter): ActionReturn<Parameter> {
+ *   // ...
+ *   return {
+ *     update: (updatedParameter) => {...},
+ *     destroy: () => {...}
+ *   };
+ * }
+ * ```
+ * 
+ * Docs: https://svelte.dev/docs#template-syntax-element-directives-use-action

+ * Actions are functions that are called when an element is created.
+ * You can use this interface to type such actions.
+ * The following example defines an action that only works on `<div>` elements
+ * and optionally accepts a parameter which it has a default value for:
+ * ```ts
+ * export const myAction: Action<HTMLDivElement, { someProperty: boolean }> = (node, param = { someProperty: true }) => {
+ *   // ...
+ * }
+ * ```
+ * You can return an object with methods `update` and `destroy` from the function.
+ * See interface `ActionReturn` for more details.

+ * Docs: https://svelte.dev/docs#template-syntax-element-directives-use-action
