# Layouts directory
Nuxt provides a customizable layouts framework you can use throughout your application, ideal for extracting common UI or code patterns into reusable layout components.
Page layouts are placed in the `layouts/` directory and will be automatically loaded via asynchronous import when used. If you create a `layouts/default.vue` this will be used for all pages in your app. Other layouts are used by setting a `layout` property as part of your component's options.
If you only have a single layout in your application, you can alternatively use [app.vue](/docs/directory-structure/app).
## Example: a custom layout
```bash
-| layouts/
---| custom.vue
```
In your layout files, you'll need to use `<slot />` to define where the page content of your layout will be loaded. For example:
```vue
<template>
<div>
Some shared layout content:
<slot />
</div>
</template>
```
Given the example above, you can use a custom layout like this:
```vue
<script>
export default {
layout: "custom",
};
</script>
```
## Example: using with slots
You can also take full control (for example, with slots) by using the `<NuxtLayout>` component (which is globally available throughout your application) and set `layout: false` in your component options.
```vue
<template>
<NuxtLayout name="custom">
<template #header> Some header template content. </template>
The rest of the page
</NuxtLayout>
</template>
<script>
export default {
layout: false,
};
</script>
```
## Example: using with `<script setup>`
If you are utilizing Vue `<script setup>` [compile-time syntactic sugar](https://v3.vuejs.org/api/sfc-script-setup.html#sfc-script-setup), you can use a secondary `<script>` tag to set `layout` options as needed.

Learn more about [`<script setup>` and `<script>` tags co-existing](https://v3.vuejs.org/api/sfc-script-setup.html#usage-alongside-normal-script) in the Vue docs.

Assuming this directory structure:
```bash
-| layouts/
---| custom.vue
-| pages/
---| my-page.vue
```
And this `custom.vue` layout:
```vue
<template>
<div>
Some shared layout content:
<slot />
</div>
</template>
```
You can set a page layout in `my-page.vue` — alongside the `<script setup>` tag — like this:
```vue
<script>
export default {
layout: "custom",
};
</script>
<script setup>
// your setup script
</script>
```
