Site Parts in Components in NextJS

In the previous lesson, we wrote the text of the site parts directly in the layout file:

export default function RootLayout({children}) {
	return (
		<html lang="en">
			<body>
				<header>
					header
				</header>
				<main>
					{children}
				</main>
				<footer>
					footer
				</footer>
			</body>
		</html>
	);
}

However, this can be inconvenient when site parts contain a lot of code and text. Therefore, site parts are usually moved into separate component files.

Let's move the site header into a separate component as an example. Let's create the corresponding file:

export default function Header() {
	return <>
		header
	</>;
}

Let's import our component into the layout file:

import Header from '@/comp/header/header.jsx';

export default function RootLayout({children}) {
	
}

Let's output the text of our component using a tag with its name:

import Header from '@/comp/header/header.jsx';

export default function RootLayout({children}) {
	return (
		<html lang="en">
			<body>
				<header>
					<Header />
				</header>
				<main>
					{children}
				</main>
				<footer>
					footer
				</footer>
			</body>
		</html>
	);
}

Create separate components for the site header and footer.
