Slots in new Phoenix component based layouts?

/phoenix#layout

I’m using the latest Phoenix 1.7 RC with layouts based on Phoenix.Component.

Is it possible to define optional slots in Live layouts?
(I’d like an optional :banner slot available for any LiveView of my application)

I don’t think the layouts mechanism supports slots. I’d probably make the layout a function component instead and use no layout, but wrap pages in

<.layout>
  <:banner> … </:banner>
  …
</.layout>

Thanks!

This was my workaround, I guess I will stick with it then!

I have now 3 levels of layout in my application, it’s a bit overkill :sweat_smile:
root.html → app.html → <.layout/>

You could skip app.html if you have everything in your <.layout> component.

I agree that I could
I won’t (because reasons), but I could :face_with_tongue:
