# Use Explicit Default Template When Mixing Named and Scoped Slots
**Impact: HIGH** - When a component uses both the default scoped slot and named slots, you must use an explicit `<template #default>` for the default slot. Using `v-slot` directly on the component while having nested named slot templates causes scope ambiguity and compilation errors.
## Task Checklist
- [ ] When using named slots alongside a default slot with props, always use explicit `<template #default>`
- [ ] Never mix `v-slot` on the component element with `<template #name>` inside
- [ ] Keep slot scope clear and unambiguous
**Incorrect:**
```vue
<script setup>
import MyComponent from './MyComponent.vue'
</script>
<template>
<!-- BAD: v-slot on component + named template inside causes ambiguity -->
<MyComponent v-slot="{ message }">
<p>{{ message }}</p>
<template #footer>
<!-- Ambiguous: Is 'message' available here? Vue can't determine -->
<p>Footer: {{ message }}</p>
</template>
</MyComponent>
</template>
```
This causes a compilation error because Vue cannot determine:
1. Whether `message` from the default slot should be available in the footer slot
2. Which scope applies to the non-template content
**Correct:**
```vue
<script setup>
import MyComponent from './MyComponent.vue'
</script>
<template>
<!-- GOOD: Explicit template for each slot with clear scope -->
<MyComponent>
<template #default="{ message }">
<p>{{ message }}</p>
</template>
<template #footer>
<!-- Clear: footer slot has its own scope, no access to default's 'message' -->
<p>Footer content here</p>
</template>
</MyComponent>
</template>
```
**Correct - When Footer Also Has Props:**
```vue
<script setup>
import MyComponent from './MyComponent.vue'
</script>
<template>
<MyComponent>
<template #default="{ message }">
<p>{{ message }}</p>
</template>
<template #footer="{ year }">
<!-- Each slot receives its own props -->
<p>Copyright {{ year }}</p>
</template>
</MyComponent>
</template>
```
## The Rule
When you have **any** named slots (`<template #name>`), always use explicit templates for **all** slots, including the default slot. This makes scope boundaries clear and prevents compilation errors.
| Pattern | Valid? | Notes |
|---------|--------|-------|
| `v-slot` on component only | Yes | Single default scoped slot |
| Named templates only | Yes | Multiple named slots |
| `v-slot` on component + named templates | No | Ambiguous scope |
| All explicit templates | Yes | Clear scope for each slot |
