<NuxtLayout>
You can use <NuxtLayout /> component to activate default layout on app.vue or error.vue.
/app.vue
<template> <NuxtLayout> some page content </NuxtLayout></template><NuxtLayout /> can be used to override default layout on app.vue, error.vue or even page components found in the /pages directory.
name prop
<NuxtLayout /> component accepts the name prop, which you can pass to use a non-default layout, where name can be a static string, reactive reference or a computed property. It must match the name of the corresponding layout file in the /layouts directory.
Examples
pages/index.vue
<template> <NuxtLayout :name="layout"> <NuxtPage /> </NuxtLayout></template><script setup>// layouts/custom.vueconst layout = 'custom'</script>Please note the layout name is normalized to kebab-case, so if your layout file is named
errorLayout.vue, it will become error-layout when passed as a name property to <NuxtLayout />./error.vue
<template> <NuxtLayout name="error-layout"> <NuxtPage /> </NuxtLayout></template>Layout and Transition
<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.
pages/index.vue
<template> <div> <NuxtLayout name="custom"> <template #header> Some header template content. </template> </NuxtLayout> </div></template> Read more in Docs > Guide > Directory Structure > Layouts.
