📚 Description

#7003 wrote the data-slot values with scripts/data-slot.mjs and checked them from a spec that imported it. That works, but a contributor adding an element has to know the script exists. This moves the same derivation into nuxt-ui/data-slot-namespace, next to no-bare-prop-refs and no-unresolved-form-field-refs, so it runs on save in the editor and through lint:fix, and drops the script.

The rule reads the #build/ui/<path> import for the component name and the ui.<slot>() call on each tag for the slot, never the value already there. It auto-fixes a wrong value and adds the attribute where a styled tag has none, before any v-bind spread so a caller's data-slot still wins. What it can't derive it reports instead: a tag whose :class picks between two slots, and a :data-slot expression, including a computed it resolves in the script, whose values must all be <component> or <component>-<slot>.

No emitted value changes: pnpm run lint is clean on the branch with no fixes applied, and the snapshots are untouched. I checked it both ways by reverting real markers, a removed attribute, a bare title, a typo in Select's ternary and InputMenu's computed fallback: each is reported, and --fix restores the files byte for byte where a fix is possible.

DataSlot.spec.ts keeps its two mounts, the caller-wins probe and the root identity check, and loses the static pass that ran the script. Lint covers that, including the closed overlays and content/ a mount can't reach.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR replaces the standalone scripts/data-slot.mjs utility with the enabled nuxt-ui/data-slot-namespace ESLint rule. The rule derives component namespaces, validates static and dynamic values, reports ambiguous cases, and autofixes eligible attributes. Component tests now derive namespaces from top-level UI imports and no longer invoke the removed script. Contributor documentation now describes the ESLint workflow.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

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

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 3b256

The change moves data-slot enforcement into ESLint while retaining runtime namespace checks, and no concrete merge-blocking risk is identified in the supplied evidence.
