@radix-ui/react-slot
Advanced tools
The @radix-ui/react-slot package is a utility for React that allows you to distribute elements as 'slots'. It is useful for component libraries and design systems where you want to provide a flexible API for component composition. It allows users to replace elements within a component while still maintaining the component's logic and styling.
Slotting elements
This code demonstrates how to use the @radix-ui/react-slot package to create a flexible Button component that can render as a 'button' or as any other element passed to it, while preserving the button's behavior and styles.
{"import * as React from 'react';\nimport { Slot } from '@radix-ui/react-slot';\n\nfunction Button({ children, asChild }) {\n const Component = asChild ? Slot : 'button';\n return <Component>{children}</Component>;\n}\n\nexport default function App() {\n return (\n <div>\n <Button>Default button</Button>\n <Button asChild>\n <a href=\"#\">Link with button styling</a>\n </Button>\n </div>\n );\n}"}The react-slot-fill package provides a similar slot and fill pattern for React components, allowing developers to define placeholder slots in their components and fill them from elsewhere in the component tree. It differs from @radix-ui/react-slot in its API and implementation details, but serves a similar purpose of component composition.
Slotify is another React library that offers a slot-based composition pattern. It allows for more complex slot arrangements and provides additional features like slot naming and default content. It is a more feature-rich alternative to @radix-ui/react-slot, but may come with a steeper learning curve.
