Sveltekit load function apparently not being called

I'm new to Svelte and Sveltekit and I'm working on a very basic app which has a page such as:

src/routes/categories/[slug]/+page.svelte

In another page I've got a link to the page previously mentioned. When a click on the link it successfully redirects me to [slug]/+page.svelte and I can see the URL well formed: http://localhost:5173/categories/test-6

Now, I'm trying to get the [slug] part of the URL when the page is loaded. I was going through the docs and read about the load function so I implemented:

<script context="module">

    /** @type {import('./$types').PageLoad} */
    export function load({params}) {
        console.log(params.slug);
        const slug = params.slug;
        return {
            slug
        };
    }
</script>

<script>
    let slug = undefined;
</script>


<h1>{slug}</h1>
wassap

but when I access the page I see only:

undefined
wassap

I don't even see the log statement I added to load.

What am I missing?

NOTEL I'm aware I could use perhaps onMount and $page and access the params in some other way, but I'd like to do it using load, seems so much cleaner to me.

Thanks

Your load function should no longer be in a context="module" block, but rather in a seperate file called +page.js:

export function load({params}) {
  console.log(params.slug);
  const slug = params.slug;
  return {
    slug
  };
}

the result of this is placed in an object data so in +page.svelte you would have now:

<script>
  export let data;
</script>

<h1>{data.slug}</h1>
