Slots catalog

This is the canonical list of slots the dashboard currently exposes. The source of truth is the <Slot name="…"> call sites in the dashboard source (linked under Reference below); each entry here records the host page, the slot name, and the context your component receives. If you need a new injection point in a built-in page, open a PR adding <Slot name="..." context={...} /> and a documentation entry here — that’s the contract for new slots.

Ambient context

Ambient context (permissions, store, user merged into every slot’s props) is planned but not wired up yet — today slot components receive only the slot-specific context listed below. Until it lands, read those values with the hooks instead:

import { usePermissions, useStore } from '@spree/dashboard-core'

function MyWidget({ product }: { product: Product }) {
  const { permissions } = usePermissions()
  const { store } = useStore()
  if (!permissions.can('read', 'MyApp::LoyaltyRecord')) return null
  // ...
}

The same applies to an entry’s if predicate: it receives the slot context, but not permissions — gate inside the component for now. Rendered by <PageHeader> (@spree/dashboard-core/components/page-header.tsx) at the top of every detail and list page that uses the shared chrome.

`page.actions`

Where	Top-right of `<PageHeader>`, left of any explicit `actions` prop
Use	Add primary action buttons (e.g., a “Refund” button on the order detail page)
Context	`{ resource, ...slotContext }` — `resource` is the current page’s primary record, when the host passed one to `<PageHeader resource={...} />`. May be `undefined` on list pages.

`page.actions_dropdown`

Where	Inside the more-actions (`⋯`) dropdown menu, above the auto-rendered Copy ID / Delete items
Use	Add menu items (`<DropdownMenuItem>`) for secondary actions
Context	`{ resource, ...slotContext }` — same as `page.actions`

Detail-page form slots

The resource detail pages each render a slot below their built-in cards. The context key matches the resource name. Host form: on pages marked host form: yes, the slot renders inside the page’s own <form> and the form context is exposed — widgets can bind inputs via useHostForm() that hydrate, dirty-track, and save with the page’s Save button. On pages without one, widgets own their persistence (use useOptionalHostForm() to adapt).

`product.form_sidebar`

Where	Product detail page (`products/$productId`), end of the sidebar column
Use	Add a card scoped to the product being edited (e.g., a “Brand” picker, wishlist stats, sync status from an external system)
Context	`{ product }` — the full `Product` record from the Admin API
Host form	Yes — form key `product`

`category.form_sidebar`

Where	Category detail page (`products/categories/$categoryId`), end of the sidebar column
Use	Category-scoped cards — merchandising rules, feed settings, external sync state
Context	`{ category }` — the `Category` record (may be briefly `undefined` while refetching)
Host form	Yes — form key `category`

`store.form_main`

Where	Store settings page (`settings/store`), end of the main column
Use	Store-level settings a plugin owns — integration toggles, account linking
Context	`{ store }` — the full `Store` record
Host form	Yes — form key `store`

`order.form_sidebar`

Where	Order detail page (`orders/$orderId`), end of the sidebar column
Use	Fraud-check status, shipping-integration state, loyalty points earned
Context	`{ order }` — the full `Order` record
Host form	No — widgets save via their own API calls

`customer.form_sidebar`

Where	Customer detail page (`customers/$customerId`), end of the sidebar column
Use	Loyalty status, support-ticket summary, external CRM links
Context	`{ customer }` — the full `Customer` record
Host form	No — the page edits through sheets; widgets save via their own API calls

Page tabs slot

`page.tabs` (default)

Rendered by <PageTabs> at the right edge of any tabbed sub-nav.

Where	After the built-in tab strip
Use	Append your own tab(s) to a sub-route — typically for plugin-owned views inside an existing resource (e.g., “Returns” tab on the order detail)
Context	`{ tabs, ...slotContext }` — `tabs` is the array of built-in tabs (so you can inspect or filter by them)

Some pages override slotName to scope tabs to a single resource (e.g., slotName="order.tabs"). The catalog will grow these as we wire them up; today only the default page.tabs name is in production use.

Payment method editor slots (dynamic)

Used by <PaymentMethodForm> to let payment-provider plugins replace pieces of the editor sheet. The slot names are computed per provider type (stripe, bogus, …), so registering against the right name is what hooks your editor in.

`payment_method.guide.<providerType>`

Where	Above the preferences form
Use	Banner explaining what the integration does, what credentials to use, links to provider docs
Context	`PaymentMethodEditorContext` (see below)

`payment_method.form.<providerType>`

Where	In place of the auto-generated preferences form
Use	Render a custom React form when the provider’s preferences are too complex for the generated UI (multi-step OAuth, environment switchers, …)
Context	`PaymentMethodEditorContext`

`payment_method.actions.<providerType>`

Where	Sheet footer, before Save/Cancel
Use	Provider-specific action buttons — “Test connection”, “Rotate keys”, “Open dashboard in provider”
Context	`PaymentMethodEditorContext`

`PaymentMethodEditorContext`

interface PaymentMethodEditorContext {
  mode: 'create' | 'edit'
  type: string                                    // STI shorthand (`stripe`, `bogus`, …)
  paymentMethod: PaymentMethod | null             // null in create mode
  preferenceSchema: PreferenceField[]
  preferences: Record<string, unknown>
  onPreferencesChange: (next: Record<string, unknown>) => void
  form: UseFormReturn<PaymentMethodFormValues>    // RHF instance for top-level fields
}

Helpers for building the slot name:

import {
  paymentMethodGuideSlot,
  paymentMethodFormSlot,
  paymentMethodActionsSlot,
} from '@spree/dashboard/components/spree/payment-method-editors/types'

paymentMethodFormSlot('stripe')  // → "payment_method.form.stripe"

Use these instead of constructing the string yourself, so a rename in one place doesn’t silently break your registration.

Adding a new slot

If a built-in page should expose a new injection point:

Pick a name (<resource>.<area>, e.g., order.timeline)
Add <Slot name="..." context={{ resource: order, /* ... */ }} /> at the call site
Document the slot here — host, intent, context shape
Open the PR

The slot is not “live” until the docs land — without an entry here, no plugin author knows it exists.
