In Web development, a slot is a dynamic placeholder that either waits passively for content (a passive slot) or receives it by calling a renderer (an active slot).

A slot’s content can be augmented with the v-if expression, which allows the slot to have access to props from its child scope. This is similar to how scoped slots work in manual render functions.
