Adding Nested/Persistent Layouts in Next.js

This code was created for a video titled "How to Add Nested/Persistent Layouts in Next.js".

This is a Next.js project bootstrapped with create-next-app.

In this project I show a pattern for nested/persistent layouts in Next.js. I first learned this pattern in a blog by Adam Wathan titled "Persistent Layout Patterns in Next.js". I have formed a few of my own opinions and developed my own patterns on top of the 3rd option Adam demonstrations.

Additionally, I wanted to show some compelling arguments for nested layouts and how to go from an app with implicit nested layouts to explicit nested layouts

Data

The data for this demo comes from the free "Learn GraphQL with Apollo" tutorials API

Getting Started

First, run the development server:

npm run dev
# or
yarn dev

Open http://localhost:3000 with your browser to see the result.

You can start editing the page by modifying pages/index.js. The page auto-updates as you edit the file.

API routes can be accessed on http://localhost:3000/api/hello. This endpoint can be edited in pages/api/hello.js.

The pages/api directory is mapped to /api/*. Files in this directory are treated as API routes instead of React pages.
