# 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.
|
|
|
|
Layouts are placed in the `layouts/` directory and will be automatically loaded via asynchronous import when used. Layouts are used by setting a `layout` property as part of your page metadata (if you are using the `~/pages` integration), or by using the `<NuxtLayout>` component. (**Note**: The layout name is normalized to kebab-case, so `someLayout` becomes `some-layout`.)
|
|
|
|
If you only have a single layout in your application, we recommend using [app.vue](/guide/directory-structure/app) instead.
|
|
|
|
::alert{type=warning}
|
|
Unlike other components, your layouts must have a single root element to allow Nuxt to apply transitions between layout changes - and this root element cannot be a `<slot />`.
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
## Example: Enabling layouts with `app.vue`
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
-| layouts/
|
|
---| custom.vue
|
|
-| app.vue
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In your layout files, you'll need to use `<slot />` to define where the content of your layout will be loaded. For example:
|
|
|
|
```vue{}[layouts/custom.vue]
|
|
<template>
|
|
<div>
|
|
Some shared layout content:
|
|
<slot />
|
|
</div>
|
|
</template>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Here's how you might use that layout in `app.vue`:
|
|
|
|
```vue{}[app.vue]
|
|
<template>
|
|
<NuxtLayout name="custom">
|
|
Hello world!
|
|
</NuxtLayout>
|
|
</template>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Example: setting the layout with `~/pages`
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
-| layouts/
|
|
---| custom.vue
|
|
-| pages/
|
|
---| index.vue
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can set your layout within your page components like this:
|
|
|
|
```vue{}[pages/index.vue]
|
|
<script>
|
|
// This will also work in `<script setup>`
|
|
definePageMeta({
|
|
layout: "custom",
|
|
});
|
|
</script>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And in your `app.vue` you need to wrap the `NuxtPage` component with the `NuxtLayout` component.
|
|
|
|
```vue{}[app.vue]
|
|
<template>
|
|
<NuxtLayout>
|
|
<NuxtPage />
|
|
</NuxtLayout>
|
|
</template>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
::alert{type=info}
|
|

|
|
## Example: manual control with `~/pages`
|
|
|
|
Even if you are using the `~/pages` integration, you can take full control by using the `<NuxtLayout>` component (which is globally available throughout your application), by setting `layout: false`.
|
|
|
|
::code-group
|
|
|
|
```vue [layouts/custom.vue]
|
|
<template>
|
|
<div>
|
|
<header>
|
|
<slot name="header">
|
|
Default header content
|
|
</slot>
|
|
</header>
|
|
<main>
|
|
<slot />
|
|
</main>
|
|
</div>
|
|
</template>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```vue [pages/index.vue]
|
|
<template>
|
|
<div>
|
|
<NuxtLayout name="custom">
|
|
<template #header> Some header template content. </template>
|
|
|
|
The rest of the page
|
|
</NuxtLayout>
|
|
</div>
|
|
</template>
|
|
|
|
<script setup>
|
|
definePageMeta({
|
|
layout: false,
|
|
});
|
|
</script>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
::alert{type=warning}
|
|
If you use `<NuxtLayout>` within your pages, make sure it is not the root element (or disable layout/page transitions).
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
## Example: changing the layout
|
|
|
|
You can also use a ref or computed property for your layout.
|
|
|
|
```vue
|
|
<template>
|
|
<div>
|
|
<button @click="enableCustomLayout">Update layout</button>
|
|
</div>
|
|
</template>
|
|
|
|
<script setup>
|
|
const route = useRoute()
|
|
function enableCustomLayout () {
|
|
route.meta.layout = "custom"
|
|
}
|
|
definePageMeta({
|
|
layout: false,
|
|
});
|
|
</script>
|
|
```
