Does GenerateMetaData work in layout or just pages in Next13 app router? I am pulling my data in from a CMS and so I want default meta data. Does this not work on the layout file?
Or is there a way to pass a prop from the layout to all children components? If this doesn't work I can fetch the data in the layout function and pass it down somehow?
export async function generateMetaData(): Promise<Metadata> {
const { metaTitle, metaDescription, ogImage } = await sanityFetch<ISettings>({
query: settingsQuery,
});
return {
title: metaTitle ',
description: metaDescription,
openGraph: {
images: [ogImage.url],
},
};
}

Ok so it is detecting the function but my title tag is not being set and the data definately is coming through.

I am just trying different things to get it to show I don’t mind if it’s just title without template but no dynamic values are working
