What is the difference between Vue slots and children?

In Vue.js, 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 components nested within a parent component.

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.

What about using children? How does that work?

Using children is straightforward. You can simply nest components like this: <my-component><child-component /></my-component>. The child-component is passed as a child to my-component.

When should I use slots instead of children?

Use slots when you need to allow users to customize specific parts of a component. Use children when you want to create a clear parent-child relationship without needing customization.
