@abordolo I believe that you are correct, well spotted!

From the docs:

You may specify which attributes should be considered data variables using the @props directive at the top of your component's Blade template. All other attributes on the component will be available via the component's attribute bag. If you wish to give a data variable a default value, you may specify the variable's name as the array key and the default value as the array value:

 
@props(['type' => 'info', 'message'])
 
<div {{ $attributes->merge(['class' => 'alert alert-'.$type]) }}>
    {{ $message }}
</div>

Source:

https://laravel.com/docs/12.x/blade#data-properties-attributes

So in this case, the component will assume that $type is always set to 'info', unless specified otherwise.

On the other hand, if $message is not passed, Laravel won't know what to do since it has no default value. That would cause the page to break.
