fix(dropdown): Use $scopedSlots instead of $slots

Himanshu Kapoor requested to merge himkp-fix-dropdown-slots into main

What does this MR do?

While $slots and $scopedSlots aren't exactly equivalent, there is a bug when sometimes the $slots object is empty even though the slot is provided. This usually happens when the component is re-rendered. This causes all slots in the dropdown component except default to not render at all in some ocassions.

This would fix the bug gitlab#390824 (closed).


The possible caveat as per e766080e is that slot could be rendered even if it is empty. From a quick scan of all gl-dropdowns in use in gitlab, I found out that usually we have a v-if on the template, but the slot contents are always defined.

Does this MR meet the acceptance criteria?

Conformity

  • Code review guidelines.
  • GitLab UI's contributing guidlines.
  • If it changes a Pajamas-compliant component's look & feel, the MR has been reviewed by a UX designer.
  • If it changes GitLab UI's documentation guidelines, the MR has been reviewed by a Technical Writer.
  • If the MR changes a component's API, integration MR(s) have been opened in the following projects to ensure that the @gitlab/ui package can be upgraded quickly after the changes are released:
  • Added the ~"component:*" label(s) if applicable.

Security

Accessibility

If this MR adds or modifies a component, take a few moments to review the following:

  • All actions and functionality can be done with a keyboard.
  • Links, buttons, and controls have a visible focus state.
  • All content is presented in text or with a text equivalent. For example, alt text for SVG, or aria-label for icons that have meaning or perform actions.
  • Changes in a component’s state are announced by a screen reader. For example, changing aria-expanded="false" to aria-expanded="true" when an accordion is expanded.
  • Color combinations have sufficient contrast.
