Slots pass markup into a component. x-slot allows you to define named slots.
You may define the content of the named slot using the x-slot tag. Any content not within a x-slot tag will be passed to the component in the $slot variable:

<x-slot> usage in Blade Component Cookbook
Hi :)
Should be a trivial question. I noticed in the Blade Component Cookbook series, namely in the modal episode located here: https://laracasts.com/series/blade-component-cookbook/episodes/5, a component named <x-slot> was used.
Is this a built-in Blade component? I don't see to recall Jeff building a slot.blade.php anywhere. I also noted the usage of $trigger in the actual component definition file. Where is this coming from?
Thanks :)

I'm newish to everything, but I also want to note that there is an alternative way to accomplish the same thing: @slot.
For example, you can use the following to pass a "title" variable from your view/component to the insertion point:
@slot('title')
Page title
@endslot
After reading through the documentation over and over and getting kind of frustrated (my own learning journey), I did a quick writeup on it: https://victorpared.es/articles/laravel-blade-101
