The previous example contained a default slot, which renders the direct children of a component. Sometimes you will need more control over placement, such as with this <ContactCard>. In those cases, we can use named slots.

In ContactCard.svelte, add a name attribute to each slot:

<article class="contact-card">
  <h2>
    <slot name="name">
      <span class="missing">Unknown name</span>
    </slot>
  </h2>

  <div class="address">
    <slot name="address">
      <span class="missing">Unknown address</span>
    </slot>
  </div>

  <div class="email">
    <slot name="email">
      <span class="missing">Unknown email</span>
    </slot>
  </div>
</article>

Then, add elements with corresponding slot="..." attributes inside the <ContactCard> component:

<ContactCard>
  <span slot="name">
    P. Sherman
  </span>

  <span slot="address">
    42 Wallaby Way<br>
    Sydney
  </span>
</ContactCard>
