Cannot use `<slot>` syntax and `{@render ...}` tags in the same component — Svelte 5 snippets replace slots
Cannot use `<slot>` syntax and `{@render ...}` tags in the same component. Migrate towards `{@render ...}` tags completely<!-- Child.svelte before -->
<header><slot name="header" /></header>
<slot />
{#each items as item}<slot name="item" {item} />{/each}
<!-- Child.svelte after -->
<script>
let { header, children, item, items } = $props();
</script>
<header>{@render header?.()}</header>
{@render children?.()}
{#each items as entry}{@render item(entry)}{/each}
<!-- Parent after -->
<Child {items}>
{#snippet header()}<h1>Title</h1>{/snippet}
{#snippet item(entry)}<li>{entry.name}</li>{/snippet}
default content becomes children
</Child>
Symptom
Svelte 5 compiler error slot_snippet_conflict in a component that has both <slot /> and {@render ...}. A related problem: slotted content passed to a component that uses {@render ...} does not render. Models still generate <slot />, <slot name="header" /> and let:item.
Cause
Svelte 5 (2024-10-22) deprecated slots in favour of snippets. Default content arrives as the children prop, named slots become ordinary props rendered with {@render ...}, and let: data becomes snippet parameters. A parent can pass snippets to a slot-based child, but slotted content cannot be passed to a snippet-based child. Custom elements still use <slot />.
Verify
npx svelte-check reports no slot_snippet_conflict, and the header, items and default content all render.
