Hi @vale swan. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

Based on the information provided in the extracts, you can pass data from your page to your layout by using a custom getLayout function. This function allows you to define a layout on a per-page basis and pass props to it.

Here's how you can do it:

First, in your page file (app>[[...slug]]>page.tsx), define a getLayout function that returns your layout component with the heroType prop:

import Layout from '../path-to-your-layout-file'

export default function Page() {
  // Your page content here
  const heroType = "Hero_Building"; // Replace this with your actual heroType value

  // Rest of your page code
}

Page.getLayout = function getLayout(page) {
  return <Layout heroType={heroType}>{page}</Layout>
}

Then, in your custom _app.js file, use the layout defined at the page level:

export default function MyApp({ Component, pageProps }) {
  // Use the layout defined at the page level, if available
  const getLayout = Component.getLayout || ((page) => page)

  return getLayout(<Component {...pageProps} />)
}

Finally, in your layout component, you can access the heroType prop and pass it to the Navigation component:

export default function Layout({ children, heroType }) {
  // Your layout code here

  return (
    <html lang={constants.locale} className={`${Iskry.variable} ${HelveticaNeue.variable} ${HelveticaNeue.className}`}>
      <body>
        <StateProvider>
          <Menu localMenu={menu} settings={settings} />

          <div className="pageWrap">
            <Navigation theme="is_white" heroType={heroType} />

            {/* Rest of your layout code */}
          </div>
        </StateProvider>
      </body>
    </html>
  );
}

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:

In the context of the App Router in Next.js, you can pass data from your page to your layout by using React's Context API. This allows you to share data that can be considered “global” for a tree of React components.

Here's how you can do it:

First, create a context in a separate file:

import React from 'react';

export const HeroTypeContext = React.createContext(null);

Then, in your page file (app>[[...slug]]>page.tsx), wrap your page content with the HeroTypeContext.Provider and pass the heroType as its value:

import { HeroTypeContext } from '../path-to-your-context-file'

export default function Page() {
  // Your page content here
  const heroType = "Hero_Building"; // Replace this with your actual heroType value

  return (
    <HeroTypeContext.Provider value={heroType}>
      {/* Rest of your page content */}
    </HeroTypeContext.Provider>
  );
}

Finally, in your layout component, you can access the heroType value using the HeroTypeContext.Consumer:

import { HeroTypeContext } from '../path-to-your-context-file'

export default function Layout({ children }) {
  // Your layout code here

  return (
    <html lang={constants.locale} className={`${Iskry.variable} ${HelveticaNeue.variable} ${HelveticaNeue.className}`}>
      <body>
        <StateProvider>
          <Menu localMenu={menu} settings={settings} />

          <div className="pageWrap">
            <HeroTypeContext.Consumer>
              {heroType => (
                <Navigation theme="is_white" heroType={heroType} />
              )}
            </HeroTypeContext.Consumer>

            {/* Rest of your layout code */}
          </div>
        </StateProvider>
      </body>
    </html>
  );
}
