<NuxtLayout>
Nuxt provides the <NuxtLayout> component to show layouts on pages and error pages.
You can use <NuxtLayout /> component to activate the default layout on app.vue or error.vue.
<template>
<NuxtLayout>
some page content
</NuxtLayout>
</template>
Props
name: Specify a layout name to be rendered, can be a string, reactive reference or a computed property. It must match the name of the corresponding layout file in thelayouts/directory.- type:
string - default:
default
- type:
<script setup lang="ts">
// layouts/custom.vue
const layout = 'custom'
</script>
<template>
<NuxtLayout :name="layout">
<NuxtPage />
</NuxtLayout>
</template>
errorLayout.vue, it will become error-layout when passed as a name property to <NuxtLayout />.<template>
<NuxtLayout name="error-layout">
<NuxtPage />
</NuxtLayout>
</template>
Additional Props
NuxtLayout also accepts any additional props that you may need to pass to the layout. These custom props are then made accessible as attributes.
<template>
<div>
<NuxtLayout name="custom" title="I am a custom layout">
<-- ... -->
</NuxtLayout>
</div>
</template>
In the above example, the value of title will be available using $attrs.title in the template or useAttrs().title in <script setup> at custom.vue.
<script setup lang="ts">
const layoutCustomProps = useAttrs()
console.log(layoutCustomProps.title) // I am a custom layout
</script>
Transitions
<NuxtLayout /> renders incoming content via <slot />, which is then wrapped around Vue’s <Transition /> component to activate layout transition. For this to work as expected, it is recommended that <NuxtLayout /> is not the root element of the page component.
<template>
<div>
<NuxtLayout name="custom">
<template #header> Some header template content. </template>
</NuxtLayout>
</div>
</template>
Layout's Ref
To get the ref of a layout component, access it through ref.value.layoutRef.
<script setup lang="ts">
const layout = ref()
function logFoo () {
layout.value.layoutRef.foo()
}
</script>
<template>
<NuxtLayout ref="layout" />
</template>
