Narrative:

At 10;000 MSL on initial approach we heard and felt a shudder and noticed #2 engine had flamed out. We went through ECAM procedures and declared an emergency with approach. We both agreed that it was best not to try relight of engine because of uncertainty of damage to the #2 engine. We were very close to our destination and decided best course of action was to land as soon as possible.the flight attendants were advised to prepare for a precautionary landing and that the captain expected a normal landing. Passengers were briefed to expect a normal landing; to remain seated and that they would see emergency vehicles around aircraft. Mechanic on ground noted no obvious damage to #2 engine; however stated the aircraft had self-reported an igv [inlet guide vane] failure.
