Advanced Svelte Reusing content Passing snippets to components

Since snippets — like functions — are just values, they can be passed to components as props.

Take this <FilteredList> component. Its job is to filter the data that gets passed into it, but it has no opinions about how that data should be rendered — that’s the responsibility of the parent component.

We’ve already got some snippets defined. Begin by passing them into the <FilteredList>:

App
<FilteredList
	data={colors}
	field="name"
	{header}
	{row}
></FilteredList>

Then, on the other side, declare header and row as props:

FilteredList
<script>
	let { data, field, header, row } = $props();

	// ...
</script>
<script lang="ts">
	let { data, field, header, row } = $props();

	// ...
</script>

Finally, replace the placeholder content with render tags:

FilteredList
<div class="header">
	{@render header()}
</div>

<div class="content">
	{#each filtered as d}
		{@render row(d)}
	{/each}
</div>

Never again will you have to memorize the hex code for MistyRose or PeachPuff.
