To extend a Vue.js component with slots, follow these steps:

  1. Create a new component that you want to extend. Let's call it "ParentComponent".
  2. In the template of the ParentComponent, define a element where the content of the extended component will be injected. For example:
1
2
3
4
5
6
<template>
  <div>
    <h1>Parent Component</h1>
    <slot></slot>
  </div>
</template>


  1. Define any necessary props, methods, and data in the ParentComponent.
  2. Create a new component that extends the ParentComponent. Let's call it "ChildComponent".
  3. In the template of the ChildComponent, use the tag and provide the content that will be injected into the element. For example:
1
2
3
4
5
6
<template>
  <ParentComponent>
    <h2>Child Component</h2>
    <p>This is some content for the ChildComponent</p>
  </ParentComponent>
</template>


  1. Register both ParentComponent and ChildComponent in your main Vue instance or in the component where you want to use them.
  2. When you render the ChildComponent, the content provided will be injected into the element of the ParentComponent, effectively extending the ParentComponent with additional content.


By following these steps, you can extend a Vue.js component with slots and easily customize the content of the extended component.
