The most reliable and idiomatic way to forward named slots from a parent to a child component in Nuxt (and Vue) is the pattern you already use:
This approach is explicit and works consistently with SSR, as it ensures the slot content is rendered in the correct context.
The alternative you mentioned:
is not supported and will cause errors, especially in SSR, because Vue's slot syntax does not allow passing slot functions directly like this. The slot content must be rendered within the parent's template context.
There is no more "elegant" or concise way documented in the official Nuxt or Vue docs for this use case. The explicit slot forwarding pattern is the recommended and robust solution.
If you are using Nuxt Content and want to forward slots, you can use the native
Stick with your current approach—it's the correct and reliable way to forward named slots in Nuxt and Vue. There is no documented, more concise alternative that avoids SSR issues or is more "elegant" in the official sources. If you have many slots to forward, you might consider a render function or a utility component, but this is not covered in the official documentation and may introduce complexity or SSR issues. So, explicit forwarding is the best practice according to the available knowledge sources.
