Hi!
What is the best strategy to adapt a page based on the user's, without changing the route (i.e. the route remainsdashboard/[team_id] ) ? In other terms, I am trying to create a dashboard that varies between roles within a team (member, admin, coordinator).

layout.tsx (i have the user :

export default async function Layout({
  children,
}: {
  children: React.ReactNode;
}) {
  const userRole = await getUserRole();

  return (
    <div>
      <header>
        <h1>Welcome, {userRole}!</h1>
      </header>
      <main>{children}</main>
      <footer>
        <p>Footer content here</p>
      </footer>
    </div>
  );
}

dummy version of the members' dashboard.tsx:

export default function MemberPage() {
  return <div>This is a member Dasboard</div>;
}

dummy version of the admins' dashboard.tsx:

export default function MemberPage() {
  return <div>This is an Admin Dasboard</div>;
}

yeah, conditional rendering by userRole

i guess my approach to this would be rendering the roles based components via a function so you go like function(){
if(admin){return <div></div>
if(user){return <div></div>}
}

And then having the things you can render without the roles in the normal return from you page.tsx

have to say only working with Nextjs for a year now so dont know if their is a better way to do it 🙂

there must be some other hacky ways but I would say conditional rendering will be just fine

If you find a link to other hacky ways could you please share those?

Also how would you organize the components if i have a structure like this:

[projectId]
├── layout.tsx
└── dashboard
    └── page.tsx (this should render the different dashboards depending on the three roles - member, admin, coordinator)

would you do something like this?

[projectId]
├── layout.tsx
└── dashboard
    └── page.tsx (orchestrate renders based on the role)
    └── _adminWidgets ( non routable folder containing widgets that will be rendered to admin)
    └── _memberWidgets (non routable // // // be rendered to member)

but there must be cleaner ways to do it for sure

well by hacky way, I just meant having seperated routes for different user role, and use rewrites to those routes depending on the user role

then for the same path, you will have different pages

and regarding the components, it's okay to have components under page folder but I have been using components directory

there is no "correct" approach organizing your components
