is is possible to only use layout.tsx as the base page? right now my page.tsx is just rendering null but i was thinking of it works to do it in another way so it looks more clean in the directories?

What i meant is that i dont want the components to re-render, therefore i am placing like nav-bar in my layout.tsx

#

and i dont need anything in my page.tsx

but back to my original question
"use client" export default function UserPage() { return null }
do i need to have the page.tsx? or is there a workaround to only use the layout.tsx?

  1. your page.tsx should not be clientside. 2. yes ofc
#

page.tsx is essential for the nextjs app router

#

u cant define a route without it, as far as i know

#

i guess i will just keep retuning Null then

#

ye once i remove it i get 404 error
