Vue is a popular JavaScript framework that allows developers to build complex and responsive web applications with ease. One of the most powerful features of Vue is its ability to create custom components that can be reused throughout your application. In this tutorial, we will be focusing specifically on how to create your own slots in Vue components.

Before we dive into creating our own slots, let’s first take a step back and understand what slots are in Vue. A slot is essentially a placeholder in a component that can be filled with content from the parent component. This allows us to create reusable components that can be customized based on the content passed in.

To create our own slots in Vue, we first need to define them within our component. We can do this by adding a tag within our component’s template:

“`

“`

In this example, we have defined two slots within our component: one for the title and one for the content. The “name” attribute is used to give each slot a unique identifier so that we can reference it later.

Now that we have defined our slots, we need to pass content into them from the parent component. We can do this by using the v-slot directive:

“`

This is my title
This is my content

import MyComponent from ‘./MyComponent.vue’

export default {
components: {
MyComponent
}
}

“`

In this example, we are using the v-slot directive to pass content into our two slots: “title” and “content”. The text “This is my title” will be placed within the tag, and “This is my content” will be placed within the tag.

We can also use the shorthand syntax for v-slot by using “#” followed by the slot name:

“`

This is my title
This is my content

Now that we have passed content into our slots, we can access it within our component by using the $slots object:

“`

“`

In this example, we are accessing the content of our two slots and displaying them within our component.

One thing to note is that if a slot has no content passed in from the parent component, it will be rendered as an empty string. To provide default content for a slot, we can use the “default” slot:

“`

In this example, if no content is passed into either slot, “Default Title” and “Default Content” will be displayed instead.

In conclusion, creating your own slots in Vue allows you to create reusable components that can be customized based on the content passed in. By defining slots within your component, passing content into them from the parent component using v-slot, and accessing the content within your component using the $slots object, you can create powerful and flexible components that can be used throughout your application.
