I have a sidebar component and I want the sidebar to be displayed at every page under a certain subdirectory (the sidebar has state so I cant just put it in every componenet bc it would rerender).

you could make a route group for this directory and add a layout file that displays the sidebar

no need to make a route group. the layout.tsx file under that directory is good enough, route groups are necessary only when you need to group several directories
