What are the differences between slots and children in Vue 3?

In Vue 3, slots are a way to pass content into a component, allowing for more flexible layouts. Children, on the other hand, refer to the direct child elements of a component, which can be accessed via the this.$slots property.

Can you give me an example of using slots?

Sure! Here's a simple example: <template><my-component><template v-slot:header>Header Content</template></my-component></template>. This allows you to define custom content for the header slot.

How do I access children elements in a component?

You can access children elements using this.$slots.default in your component. This will give you access to the default slot content.

When should I use slots instead of children?

Use slots when you need to create reusable components with customizable content. Use children when you want to pass static content directly.
