- Persisting layout between page changes
- Keeping state when navigating pages
- Custom error handling using `componentDidCatch`
- Inject additional data into pages (for example by processing GraphQL queries)

To override, create the `./pages/_app.js` file and override the App class as shown below:

```js
import React from 'react'
import App from 'next/app'

class MyApp extends App {
// Only uncomment this method if you have blocking data requirements for
// every single page in your application. This disables the ability to
// perform automatic static optimization, causing every page in your app to
// be server-side rendered.
//
// static async getInitialProps(appContext) {
// // calls page's `getInitialProps` and fills `appProps.pageProps`
// const appProps = await App.getInitialProps(appContext);
//
// return { ...appProps }
// }

render() {
const { Component, pageProps } = this.props
return <Component {...pageProps} />
}
}
function MyApp({ Component, pageProps }) {
return <Component {...pageProps} />
}

// Only uncomment this method if you have blocking data requirements for
// every single page in your application. This disables the ability to

//
// return { ...appProps }
