Introducing the Slot control
Oct 20, 2022
With Makeswift’s API you can map visual controls to your React component’s props to make your Next.js app visually editable. We provide controls like Style, Shape, List, Combobox, and more, so you can get the props you need without having to refactor your components.
For many components, one of the most important props is children, which usually expects a ReactNode. Until now Makeswift has not had a control that allows you to visually edit this prop.
With the latest version of @makeswift/runtime, we’ve introduced the Slot control. This control allows your components to receive ReactNode as props, unlocking visual composition for your custom components. Slot is powered by the same layout technology that powers our Box component.
To get the Slot control, upgrade to the latest version of @makeswift/runtime.

Limitations of Slot
Currently the Slot control cannot be used with the Shape and List controls. For example, if you wanted to provide a slides prop for a carrousel component that was a ReactNode[], you would not be able to use List({ type: Slot() }) to achieve that. We're working to fix this limitation. Stay tuned!
