Merges its props onto its immediate child.
Can be used to support your own `asChild` prop.
Install the component from your command line.
npm install @radix-ui/react-slot
Import the component.
import { Slot } from '@radix-ui/react-slot';
export default () => (
<Slot>
<div>Hello</div>
</Slot>
);
Use to create your own asChild API.
// your-button.jsx
import React from 'react';
import { Slot } from '@radix-ui/react-slot';
function Button({ asChild, ...props }) {
const Comp = asChild ? Slot : 'button';
return <Comp {...props} />;
}
import { Button } from './your-button';
export default () => (
<Button asChild>
<a href="/contact">Contact</a>
</Button>
);
Any prop that starts with on (e.g., onClick) is considered an event handler.
When merging event handlers, Slot will create a new function where the child handler takes precedence over the slot handler.
If one of the event handlers relies on event.defaultPrevented make sure that the order is correct.
import { Slot } from '@radix-ui/react-slot';
export default () => (
<Slot onClick={(event) => {
if (!event.defaultPrevented) console.log('Not logged because default is prevented.');
}}>
<button onClick={(event) => event.preventDefault()) />
</Slot>
);
