For further insight, feel free to explore the following resources: transfer of variables and functions in slots (stackoverflow.com), Slots (vuejs.com). When working in YourComponent.vue, be sure to declare
<slot name="customSlotName" :fields :period :error>
and utilize it as <YourComponent><template #customSlotName="{ fields, period, error }"></YourComponent>
. Remember that if no name attribute is set in <slot>, the default slot name will be "default", which can be accessed using <template #default>.
Insight Example
A slot in Vue.js serves as a conduit for delivering content from a child component to a parent component. This mechanism facilitates the transfer of variables and functions between the two components.
Defining a <slot> in a Component
To establish a slot within your Vue component, include the <slot> element with a specified name attribute:
<!-- YourComponent.vue -->
<template>
<div>
<slot name="customSlotName" :fields="fields" :period="period" :error="error">
Optional default content can also be provided here
</slot>
</div>
</template>
<script setup>
const fields = ['field1', 'field2']
const period = 'daily'
const error = null
</script>
Customizing the Content of <slot> in YourComponent.vue
To utilize the slot in your parent component, encapsulate it within a <template> element and specify the slot name using the # symbol:
<!-- App.vue -->
<template>
<YourComponent>
<template #customSlotName="{ fields, period, error }">
<!-- Utilize the variables here -->
{{ fields }}
{{ period }}
{{ error ? 'Error!' : '' }}
</template>
</YourComponent>
</template>
<script setup>
import YourComponent from './components/YourComponent.vue'
</script>
