Switch port mode to connect a router

I am just wondering which mode to set the switchport that is connected to a router.

I assume the cable connecting the router is plugged into a port in trunk mode (for all the defined VLANS)? Then I make SVIs with gateways  for the VLANs pointing to routing-interfaces in the router?

So in this way, if a neighboring switch does not know how to route a packet to a unknown IP-address, the packet is sent over the trunk to the other switch. Here the appropriate VLAN SVI is sending the packet to the appropriate router interface. Is this correct or nearly correct?
