    <NuxtClientFallback @ssr-error="logSomeError">
      <!-- ... -->
    </NuxtClientFallback>
  </template>
  ```

  - **type**: `string`
  - **default**: `div`
- **placeholder** | **fallback**: Specify fallback content to be rendered if the slot fails to render.
  - **type**: `string`

```vue

      <BrokeInSsr />
    </NuxtClientFallback>
