How Do I Use Vuetify Slots?

Vuetify slots give you the ability to insert custom content into pre-defined slots in your Vuetify components. This is a great way to reuse common pieces of UI across your application.

In this article, we’ll look at how to use Vuetify slots and what some of the benefits are.

Slots are a powerful feature of Vue that allow you to insert custom content into a component. They’re similar to props in that they pass data into a component, but they’re different in that they’re passed in at compile time rather than runtime.

This means that you can’t dynamically change what’s passed into a slot like you can with props.

Slots are declared in the template of a component using the element. The content inside the slot element will be inserted into the location of the slot in the component. For example, if you have a component with a slot like this:

And you use that component like this:

The “Click me!” div will be inserted into the button slot in the my-component component. Slots can also be used without a name attribute, in which case they’ll be called “default” slots.

Vuetify provides a number of premade slots for common UI patterns. For example, the v-card component has slots for header and footer content, so you can easily add a custom header or footer to your card without having to duplicate any code.

Benefits of Slots

Slots are a great way to reuse common pieces of UI across your application without duplicating code. They also make it easy to change the order or layout of content without having to modify your components themselves.

This can be helpful if you want to make global changes to your application’s UI without having to modify every individual component.

Another benefit of slots is that they can make your components more flexible and easier to use. For example, let’s say you have a custom v-btn component that you use throughout your application:

export default { name: ‘my-btn’ } .
