Normally, to use a layout in astro, I would first have to import my layout into my current .astro file frontmatter, then I would be able to use it.
For example:
---
import BaseLayout from '../layouts/BaseLayout.astro';
---
<BaseLayout>
</BaseLayout>
Is it possible to create a layout that is globally accessible in all my astro files so that I don't have to manually import it into my front matter every times ?

Hi @mighty beacon. 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, Astro does not currently support globally accessible layouts that can be used without manual import in each file.
In Astro, you need to import the layout component into the frontmatter of each file where you want to use it. For example, if you have a layout component BaseLayout.astro, you would need to import it into your .astro file as follows:
---
import BaseLayout from '../layouts/BaseLayout.astro';
---
<BaseLayout>
<!-- Your content here -->
</BaseLayout>
This approach gives you the flexibility to use different layouts for different pages or components as needed.

@heavy comet Can I put all my layout imports into another file and then import this grouped file instead ?

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
Based on the information provided in the extracts, Astro does not currently support the concept of grouped imports from a single file. Each Astro component or page that wants to use a layout or another component needs to import it explicitly in its own frontmatter.
For example, if you have a layout component BaseLayout.astro, you would need to import it into your .astro file as follows:
---
import BaseLayout from '../layouts/BaseLayout.astro';
---
<BaseLayout>
<!-- Your content here -->
</BaseLayout>
This approach gives you the flexibility to use different layouts for different pages or components as needed.
