Hi @lean loom. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
#How to pass props in component
hushed portalBOT
To pass props to a component located in layout.js via getStaticProps, you can follow these steps:
- In your page component (e.g.,
index.js), import theLayoutcomponent fromlayout.js. - Use the
Layoutcomponent in your page component and pass the desired props to it. - Fetch the data using
getStaticPropsin your page component and pass the fetched data as props to theLayoutcomponent.
Here's an example based on the information extracts:
// index.js
import Layout from '../components/layout';
import fetch from 'node-fetch';
function HomePage({ layoutData }) {
return (
<Layout data={layoutData}>
{/* Your page content */}
</Layout>
);
}
export async function getStaticProps() {
const res = await fetch('https://.../layout-data');
const layoutData = await res.json();
return {
props: {
layoutData,
},
};
}
export default HomePage;
In this example, we fetch the data for the Layout component using getStaticProps and pass it as a prop named data. You can replace the API endpoint with the one you need to fetch the data for your Layout component.
For more information on getStaticProps, refer to the Next.js documentation (https://nextjs.org/docs/basic-features/data-fetching/get-static-props).

@hushed portal how would the app.js look like
hushed portalBOT
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
Based on the information extracts, here's an example of how the _app.js file would look like when using a Layout component:
// pages/_app.js
import Layout from '../components/layout';
export default function MyApp({ Component, pageProps }) {
return (
<Layout>
<Component {...pageProps} />
</Layout>
);
}
In this example, we import the Layout component and wrap the Component with it. The Component represents the current page, and pageProps contains the props fetched by getStaticProps or other data-fetching methods.
For more information on using a single shared layout with a custom app, refer to the Next.js documentation (https://nextjs.org/docs/basic-features/layouts).

Based on the information extracts, here's an example of how the layout.js file would look like:
// components/layout.js
import Navbar from './navbar';
import Footer from './footer';
export default function Layout({ children }) {
return (
<>
<Navbar />
<main>{children}</main>
<Footer />
</>
);
}
In this example, the Layout component imports and renders a Navbar and a Footer component. The children prop is used to render the content of the page that is wrapped by the Layout component.

@hushed portal why does it duplicate components in layout.js
hushed portalBOT
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
I apologize if my previous response was unclear. The layout.js file should not duplicate components. The example I provided demonstrates a simple layout with a Navbar and a Footer component. The children prop is used to render the content of the page that is wrapped by the Layout component.
If you're experiencing duplicated components in your layout.js, please double-check your code to ensure that you're not accidentally rendering the same component multiple times.
