Nuxtjs: How to call component inside another component?

I understand paradigm "Page-component" but what if I have a page that renders component, how do I call another component inside this component? Currently nuxtjs does not allow me do it. I can not stick to standart "page-component" scheme as I am bulding cart which calls cart-items.
Say If a cart component which is called by page looks like this, how would it call cart-item component inside it?
<!---- cart component called from index.vue --->
<template>
<div>
<Cart-item></Cart-item> < ---------- This doesn't work.
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
props: ['items']
}
</script>

I managed it the standard way:
<template>
<div>
<CartItem></CartItem>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import CartItem from '../components/Cart-item'
export default {
props: ['items']
}
</script>
Since nuxtjs auto-registers all components wonder if there is more graceful way.

EDIT: as promised, here is an example on how to pass some content to a component from another one thanks to slots. This is totally working in any Nuxt page ofc.
NestedContent.vue
<template>
<div>
<p>Here is the NestedContent component and below is a slot passed to ParentWithSlots' component</p>
<hr />
<parent-with-slots>
<!-- <template #default> // this one can be omit since we do use the default slot here -->
<p>This content is inserted into the component ParentWithSlots</p>
<!-- </template> -->
</parent-with-slots>
</div>
</template>
ParentWithSlots.vue
<template>
<div>
<p>xxxxxxxxxxx ParentWithSlots' content before slot xxxxxxxxxxx</p>
<slot>Default content in case none is provided</slot>
<p>xxxxxxxxxxx ParentWithSlots' content after slot xxxxxxxxxxx</p>
</div>
</template>
Here is how it looks
PS: you may also give a try to layouts, it can be useful for overall positioning of some of your components visually.
If your components are in the components directory, you can set components: true in your nuxt.config.js and have access to it pretty much anywhere without any additional step with the <cart-item></cart-item> syntax.

Render external element inside Vue component

I have an external div that I need to render inside my Vue app. I'm trying to use a slot, like but that's a no go as nothing renders.
Any ideas?
Goal is to have HTML like this (Vue mounts on #app):
<div id="app" data-slot-header="#header"></div>
<div id="header">
<h1>Title here</h1>
</div>
Then the Vue component
<template>
<div>
<slot name="header"></slot>
</div>
</template>

You can use a dynamic <component> and refer to your #header element as a template reference.
For example
new Vue({
data: () => ({
headerComponent: {
template: '#header' // refer to template element by selector
}
}),
}).$mount('#app')
#app:before,#header:before{position:absolute;top:0;right:0;color:rgba(1,1,1,.5);font-size:.8rem}#app{border:1px solid #666;position:relative}#app:before{content:'Vue app'}#header{position:relative;opacity:.5}#header:before{content:'Original header'}
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/vue/dist/vue.min.js"></script>
<div id="app">
<p>Dynamic component rendered here 👇</p>
<component :is="headerComponent"></component>
</div>
<div id="header">
<h1>Title here</h1>
</div>

Slots are mainly used with reusable Vue components so that the parent component can render custom stuff inside designated sections of the child. The root component does not have a parent, so it doesn't make sense to use slots for this.
Why can't you just hard-code the div in the template? Or do you need it to be dynamic; will you be swapping out the header contents in some situations? Please provide more information about what your use-case is, otherwise my answer is "just hard-code it".
Take a look at portal-vue. It allows child components to render templates anywhere in the DOM. This might work for your situation.

Conditional Root Tag on Vue Component

My Question
I have a Vue component that renders content like so:
<template>
<div class="item">
<h1>{{ title }}</h1>
<p>{{ contents }}</p>
<!-- Lot's of other stuff... -->
</div>
</template>
<script>
// export default...
</script>
<style lang="scss">
// style...
</style>
Note the contents within the div...
In some circumstances, I need to change <div class="item"> to <a class="item">. With that in mind, is there a way to conditionally change the tag (e.g. a, div) for the root element of a Vue component?
Research
I have searched around online and was able to find something about using the render function like so:
render (createElement) {
return createElement(this.tag, {}, this.$slots.default);
}
The issue I have with the above is that it implies that I need two separate components, for example; Item.vue and ItemTag.vue. Surely there is a way to do this with one component?

I believe you could use is:
<div :is="useA ? 'a' : 'div'">
...
</div>
This isn't quite what the docs suggests it's for but it does seem to have the desired effect.
https://v2.vuejs.org/v2/api/#is
Using a render function instead wouldn't necessarily require you to have two components but it would need you to rewrite your entire template as a render function.

Is there a way to 'pipe-together' slots in nested components in Vue?

Let's say I'm developing an enhanced popper.js for Vue and I'm about to give it some additional functionality. This is how the very (child) component looks like:
<popper>
<div :is="tag" class="popper">
{{ content }}
</div>
<button class="btn btn-primary" slot="reference">
Reference Element
</button>
</popper>
As you can see, for it to work it requires defining reference element right beneath the ".popper" div with a slot="reference" attribute.
Question:
How to turn my enhanced-popper component into a re-usable entity, aka be able to pass slotted data indirectly - from
<enhanced-popper> //referenced element// </enhanced-popper> so that it has the slot="reference" attribute inside the child (popper.js-based) component?
What did not work:
Employing slots and having the attribute in a component passed in by the parent component does not yield desired results, as it does not get rendered at all.
<popper>
<div :is="tag" class="popper">
{{ content }}
</div>
<slot></slot>
</popper>
To ensure having the attribute out there I also tried to replace said button in the child component with a named slot inside a slot and go like this in my enhanced-popper:
<slot name="reference">
<slot></slot>
</slot>
That way the first slotted component has the attribute - and it almost works, but since there are two "slot-layers" (no idea how to call it), the referenced component is not the first one as a child, and popper gets mis-positioned.

Communicating variable in vue.js between components

I am building app using laravel and vue. I have navbar, currently it looks like:
<template>
<nav class="navbar">
<p>{{msg}}</p>
</nav>
</template>
And I use it like here:
<body class="">
<div id="app">
<div class="">
<navbar></navbar>
#yield('content')
</div>
</div>
</body>
In yield I am loading another components, so I have navbar and another component together. Now I want to override that {{msg}} variable from navbar in another components. In every component that variable will be diferent.
I do not know how to override it in components and from {{msg}} do some text. Can you help me? (That code above is all what I have)

If you want to use msg in other components, then you need to use prop
Use like:
props: ['msg'],
Then, you need to bind it like:
<component-name :msg="msg"></component-name>
In your component, you can take it like:
<template>{{ msg }}</template>
Hope you understand!

Components can be communicate with props. You can transfer the data to another components and you can use if statement.
