Closes #1441

Description

Slots (and Dropzone/puck.renderDropZone) accept an as prop to render a custom element or component, but previously there was no way to pass props to the component. This forwards additional props not used by puck onto the as element/component, so you can pass e.g. library specific props:

render: ({ SlotComponent, height }) => (
  <SlotComponent as={Box} sx={{ height: (theme) => theme.units * height }} />
);

Changes made

  • Slot render components, <DropZone>, and puck.renderDropZone now forward any additional props to the element or component provided via as (defaulting to a div).
  • The forwarded props are fully typed: SlotComponent, renderDropZone, and <DropZone> are generic over as, so as="button" only accepts button attributes, a custom component only accepts its own props, and unknown props are compile errors.
    • The SlotProps type was refactored from Omit<DropZoneProps<T>, "zone"> to DropZoneSharedProps and DropZoneOwnProps.
      • This was done because using Omit erases the generic inference (T), collapsing as to the default div and letting any prop through.
    • The public DropZone component stays a div-typed forwardRef internally and is exported publicly with a cast type, since forwardRef can't use generics.
  • Added getDropZoneProps (lib/props/shared) as the single formatting point that splits incoming public props into props (consumed by Puck), forwardableProps (spread onto as), and nonForwardableProps (dropped with a warning).
    • The benefit of doing this is that we avoid future props leakage bugs by forcing future devs to check this list and update it if needed.
    • This should be used anywhere DropZoneProps are read.
      • DropZoneEdit, DropZoneRender, and SlotRender, the three components where props reach the DOM, all use it instead of hand-rolled destructured lists.
    • Props are grouped by reference in a single pass, never cloned or merged, so downstream identity and memoization are unaffected.
    • The key maps are Record<Key, true> objects tied to the ConsumedPropKey and NonForwardableProps types, so adding a prop to the types without updating the runtime check (or vice versa) is a compile error.
    • Component-specific consumed props (SlotRender's config and metadata) are passed as extraConsumedKeys so they're never forwarded to the underlying as component.
  • Marked the DropZone export and puck.renderDropZone as @deprecated in favor of slots. Since that's what the docs clarify and what we want people to use.
  • Added tests.
  • Documented the forwarding behavior in the slot docs, including the table of props that are never forwarded and why.

How to test

Add extra props alongside as in a slot render function and confirm they reach the element and that internal props don't leak:

render: ({ content: Content }) => (
  <Content as="details" open data-custom="foo" />
);

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Slot and drop zone props can now be forwarded to custom elements or components specified through as.
    • Added typed, component-specific props for slots and drop zones.

  • Documentation
    • Expanded Slot documentation with forwarding behavior and examples.
    • Marked the legacy DropZone and renderDropZone APIs as deprecated in favor of Slots.
    • Added migration guidance for replacing renderDropZone with Slots.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Slot and DropZone rendering now support typed props for polymorphic as elements and components. A shared helper partitions internal, forwardable, and unsafe props. Server rendering, public types, deprecation guidance, tests, and documentation were updated.

Changes

Slot prop forwarding

Layer / File(s) Summary
Prop contracts and partitioning
packages/core/components/DropZone/types.ts, packages/core/lib/props/shared/get-drop-zone-props.ts, packages/core/lib/props/shared/__tests__/*
DropZone and Slot props now support polymorphic components. getDropZoneProps separates consumed, forwardable, and non-forwardable props.
DropZone forwarding
packages/core/components/DropZone/index.tsx
Edit and render paths forward supported props to the element selected by as.
Slot server rendering and validation
packages/core/components/SlotRender/server.tsx, packages/core/components/ServerRender/__tests__/index.spec.tsx
Server rendering forwards supported attributes and excludes internal, children, and dangerouslySetInnerHTML props.
Public API typing and guidance
packages/core/types/Config.tsx, packages/core/types/Props.tsx, packages/core/bundle/core.ts, apps/docs/pages/docs/api-reference/fields/slot.mdx, apps/docs/pages/docs/api-reference/configuration/component-config.mdx
Public slot types support generic elements. DropZone usage is marked deprecated, and forwarding behavior is documented.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 3969a

The PR changes how custom slot elements receive props and adds deprecation messaging. The remaining documentation wording could confuse users about which API is deprecated, but it does not create a runtime correctness or availability risk; merge is reasonable with explicit owner follow-up.

Happy to do it. The main reason I added it here is because I introduced lib/props in this PR: #1796

Before rolling it back, let me explain my reasoning.

This would keep all prop transformation/processing in a single shared place. I currently find myself having a hard time finding these utilities, since some are in /lib/data and some are in /lib, and they normally have signatures and names that make it hard to know what they're used for without looking at the implementation.

So I was thinking of slowly organizing the lib folder a bit to make the intent clearer. I'll eventually add some JSDoc comments to them as well, so you don't have to read the implementation before using them.

I've also found agents constantly re-implementing them and, when asked, refactoring and apologizing. If I clean things up a bit, I can then add some guidance to the AGENTS.md file so they avoid this and organize their implementations better in the future (also making it easier for us to review).

What do you think?

Additional props passed to a slot render component (or `puck.renderDropZone`)
are now spread onto the element/component provided via `as`, typed against it.
Puck-internal props (zone, allow, disallow, etc.) are stripped so they don't
leak onto the DOM.
