You are not allowed to pass data from a page to layout in App Router, please consider other alternatives such as detecting pathname in a client component with

i don't want to show navbar in 404 error
also what about
/dashbaord/[id]/settingsUse a global not-found page for that
Your
not-found.tsx is passed to the nearest layouthow make this global?
where is your
not-found?Like
app/not-found or somewhere else@fuma Like `app/not-found` or somewhere else
HuntawayOP
yes app/not-found
same like app/layout.js
i just want to remove navbar for not found page
I see your issue here, the global not-found is rendered in the root layout (since you may want to keep the fonts, etc).
You may want to use [Route Groups](https://nextjs.org/docs/app/building-your-application/routing/route-groups) in order to extract your navbar from the root layout

also you say that use usePahtname

as explain above, it is only available in client component and no longer suits your use case if you only want to hide it in not found pages
Use route groups,
HuntawayOP
how but can you explain
By using multiple Route Groups, you can make the layout only rendered in specific pages
For pages that need a navbar, put it in
For pages that need a navbar, put it in
/app/(your-group)/ where /app/(your-group)/layout.tsx includes a navbarHuntawayOP
okay but what about not found
and you always need a root layout, please read the docs
HuntawayOP
it on global
Then it is what you expect
not-found is rendered in the nearest layout, in this case, your root layout no longer contains navbar
because it is in the layout of your route group now
HuntawayOP
so per group like app/shop/[id]/cart
so i need to add layout there app/shop/layout.js?
so i need to add layout there app/shop/layout.js?
like this way?

Please read the docs, I think you misunderstood what is a route group
@fuma Please read the docs, I think you misunderstood what is a route group
HuntawayOP
pls just 2 secs reply
is i am right
or wrong?
HuntawayOP
i mean i have a shop folder
so in folder i want to add new layout?
/app/shop/layout.js
to remove navbar
Why? It is not how Route groups work or what I am telling you
it is not
/app/shop/ but /app/(shop)/HuntawayOP
okay
the layout is only rendered when your page is under that route group
so you can put your navbar there
HuntawayOP
it also export like
export default function RootLayout({ children }) {}?Yes, it is same for all layouts
HuntawayOP
okay
notice that the root layout must contain the html and body tag, while sub layouts don't
HuntawayOP
in (shop) there are a new layout global layout no matter here
That is wrong, everything must be rendered in root layout
HuntawayOP
or can we do
/app/shop/[id]/(store)/page.jsWhere the navbar should be added?
Only for not found pages?
@fuma Where the navbar should be added?
HuntawayOP
I want the navbar all pages, but for the store page, I want to remove the navbar from the top and add a new side navbar.
When rendering
Route Group can only control which layout to use in the same level, Hence:
-
-
/app/(group)/page.tsx, it is similar to:<RootLayout>
<RouteGroupLayout>
<YourPage />
</RouteGroupLayout>
</RootLayout>Route Group can only control which layout to use in the same level, Hence:
-
app/shop/[id]/(store)/layout.tsx renders sidebar only-
app/shop/[id]/(other)/layout.tsx renders navbar onlyHuntawayOP
okay
in
app/shop/[id]/(store)/layout.tsx export default function RootLayout({ children }) {
return (
<html lang="en">
<body>
<AuthOptions>
<SideNavbar />
<main>{children}</main>
</AuthOptions>
<Footer />
</body>
</html>
)
}like this?
No, root layout must be under
app folderand it contains
html and body tagsyes
HuntawayOP
what is issue here?
@fuma No, root layout must be under `app` folder
layout under a route group isn't called root layout, root layout means the layout that always renders (usually in
app/layout)Put your
html and body tag in root layoutHuntawayOP
okay
export default function RootLayout({ children }) {
return (
<AuthOptions>
<SideNavbar />
<main>{children}</main>
</AuthOptions>
<Footer />
)
}like this?
in
app/shop/[id]/(store)/layout.tsxYes, wrap it in a fragment since the syntax is invalid
also rename it to
StoreLayout or something similarHuntawayOP
okay so like this
export default function StoreLayout({ children }) {
return (
<AuthOptions>
<SideNavbar />
<main>{children}</main>
</AuthOptions>
<Footer />
);
}export default function StoreLayout({ children }) {
return (
<>
<AuthOptions>
<SideNavbar />
<main>{children}</main>
</AuthOptions>
<Footer />
</>
);
}HuntawayOP
we need to proivde auth option here or not?
I don't know what is your auth options
@fuma I don't know what is your auth options
HuntawayOP
its a session of nextauth
which some from client component
Depends on you, you may put it in root layout if it doesn't render anything
@fuma Depends on you, you may put it in root layout if it doesn't render anything
HuntawayOP
export default function StoreLayout({ children }) {
return (
<>
<SideNavbar />
<main>{children}</main>
<Footer />
</>
);
}i think this works
Has your problem solved?
where is your page and how do you access it?
HuntawayOP
Route groups don't affect the actual url, use
(settings)/settings/page.jsyou can access the page in
/dashboard/xxx/settingswork
but navbar still there
both navbar comes
side and top
where does the navbar render? Make sure you're not rendering it in root layout
@fuma where does the navbar render? Make sure you're not rendering it in root layout
HuntawayOP
it rendering main layout
app/layout.js@fuma When rendering `/app/(group)/page.tsx`, it is similar to:
tsx
<RootLayout>
<RouteGroupLayout>
<YourPage />
</RouteGroupLayout>
</RootLayout>
Route Group can only control which layout to use in the same level, Hence:
- `app/shop/[id]/(store)/layout.tsx` renders sidebar only
- `app/shop/[id]/(other)/layout.tsx` renders navbar only
Put it in a route group which you want to render the navbar
HuntawayOP
hmm??
i added everything
as you said to me
app/shop/[id]/(other)/layout.tsx -> Your navbar, not the main layoutHuntawayOP
app/shop/[id]/(settings)/layout.tsx
import SideNavBar from "@/componenets/SideNavbar"
import AuthOptions from "@/components/AuthProvide";
export default function SettingsLayout({ children }) {
return (
<>
<AuthOptions>
<SideNavBar />
<main>{children}</main>
</AuthOptions>
</>
);
}i also need to make (other)?
Yes, in that route group, you render the navbar
HuntawayOP
this is my app/layout.js
export default function RootLayout({ children }) {
return (
<html lang="en">
<body>
<AuthOptions>
<Navbar />
<main>{children}</main>
</AuthOptions>
<Footer />
</html>
)
}can't find what wrong here
Well, you're rendering the navbar in root layout, of course, it doesn't disappear because your root layout is always rendered no matter what.
Please [read the docs](https://nextjs.org/docs/app/building-your-application/routing/route-groups) and find the correct usage of route groups, I won't help with everything

HuntawayOP
so i need to remove navbar from root and add it (shop)
true
HuntawayOP
right?
for all pages i need to make app/(pageFolder)/layout.js
or i need to just make (dashboard) and (others)
for all pages i need to make app/(pageFolder)/layout.jsFor what?
HuntawayOP
like i want navbar for all pages but for /dashboard i want sidenavbar
Correct, you can put all pages except /dashboard into a route group, and put /dashboard into a specific group like
(dashboard)HuntawayOP
how can we devide but
like where we need navbar
where we not
(others) -> with navbar
(dashboard) -> with sidebar
tbh, I believe if you knew how to use Route Groups, you won't even ask this question here
(dashboard) -> with sidebar
tbh, I believe if you knew how to use Route Groups, you won't even ask this question here
HuntawayOP
still issue lol
for /dashboard need navbar
for /dashboard/id/settings
not need navbar
also for domain.com
we need navbar to
When it is a complex logic, you can try either:
1. Still, route groups
so move
Hence,
2.
Manually check and return an empty fragment if user open specific page, for instance:
Notice that you have to mark it as client component
1. Still, route groups
so move
/dashboard under your (others) route group, and create another /dashboard in (dashboard) route groupHence,
(dashboard)/dashboard/id/settings/ doesn't share the layout with (others)2.
usePathnameManually check and return an empty fragment if user open specific page, for instance:
const pathname = usePathname()
if (pathname.startsWith(...)) return <></>
return <nav />Notice that you have to mark it as client component
2 work
hmm your right
dam bro lol
@Huntaway https://nextjs.org/docs/app/building-your-application/routing/route-groups#opting-specific-segments-into-a-layout
Actually that's what the docs is saying
HuntawayOP
2 works find
so for path dashboard can we do /dashboard/
???
For option 2?
HuntawayOP
yes
to find out that path is /dashboard/id/settings
First, get
Then, check the pathname with:
you know what to do
params with useParams hookThen, check the pathname with:
pathname.startsWith(`/dashboard/${params.id}/settings`)you know what to do
@fuma First, get `params` with `useParams` hook
Then, check the pathname with:
ts
pathname.startsWith(`/dashboard/${params.id}/settings`)
you know what to do
HuntawayOP
hmm? children contain prams id
<Navbar id={ id } />
we can do
pathname.startsWith(`/dashboard/*`)No, it doesn't support regex, you may use regex match but I won't help with that
please find a solution yourself, this is just a common Javascript question
HuntawayOP
hmmk
@fuma please find a solution yourself, this is just a common Javascript question
HuntawayOP
here we go
let pathname = usePathname();
let result = pathname.match(/^\/dashboard\/.*/);
