Nuxt 3 Layout

In Nuxt 3, I have the following structure in my app.vue: 
<template>
  <nuxt-route-announcer />

  <nuxt-layout>
    <nuxt-page />
  </nuxt-layout>
</template>
<template>
  <nuxt-route-announcer />

  <nuxt-layout>
    <nuxt-page />
  </nuxt-layout>
</template>
For one of my pages, I set the layout to false inside the definePageMeta and used the following structure: 
<template>
  <nuxt-layout name="history-details">
    <template #side-content>
      side
    </template>

    <main>
      main
    </main>
  </nuxt-layout>
</template>
<template>
  <nuxt-layout name="history-details">
    <template #side-content>
      side
    </template>

    <main>
      main
    </main>
  </nuxt-layout>
</template>
My main goal is to use a named slot within the history-details layout. However, if I set layout: "history-details" in definePageMeta, I cannot leverage the named slot. That’s why I am using this structure instead, based on the Nuxt documentation on overriding layouts.
Is this approach valid, or am I doing something wrong?

Hi @Ashi Ashi~. 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 knowledge sources provided, I can answer your question about the Nuxt 3 layout implementation. Your implementation is valid, but there are a few points to consider: 1. Layout in app.vue: Your app.vue structure is correct. It uses <nuxt-layout> to wrap the <nuxt-page> component, which is the recommended approach for using layouts in Nuxt 3. This is confirmed in the Docs > Guide > Directory-structure > app source. 2. Setting layout to false in a page: Setting the layout to false using definePageMeta is a valid way to disable the default layout for a specific page. This is mentioned in the Docs > Api > Utils > definePageMeta > Parameters source. 3. Using <nuxt-layout> in a page component: Your page component uses <nuxt-layout> with a named layout ("history-details"). This is also a valid approach for overriding the layout on a per-page basis. The Docs > Guide > Directory-structure > layouts source confirms this, stating: "If you use <NuxtLayout> within your pages, make sure it is not the root element." However, there's one potential issue to be aware of: If you're setting the layout to false using definePageMeta and also using <nuxt-layout> in the same page component, it might lead to unexpected behavior. The false layout set in definePageMeta could conflict with the named layout you're trying to use in the template. To ensure consistency, you should choose one approach: 1. Either set the layout using definePageMeta: 
<script setup>
definePageMeta({
  layout: 'history-details'
});
</script>
<script setup>
definePageMeta({
  layout: 'history-details'
});
</script>
2. Or use <nuxt-layout> in the template as you've done. Both approaches are valid, but using them together in the same page might cause confusion. In conclusion, your implementation is generally valid, but you should be cautious about potentially conflicting layout definitions within the same page component.
