Is it possible to set a layout for a directory (and it's subdirs)?

[nobkd]

I wanted to set layouts per directory (and therefore also the subdirectories), without putting it into the frontmatter of every file.

---

Ideas i had how it could work, if it's not already possible:

• by using a document like _layout.yml in the directory (or somehow included in the _dir.yml)
• by specifying the layout for routes in some combined config file

Frontmatter layouts should always override directory layouts

You could define a function on content:file:afterParse hook to set layout property to files based on their path like below:

// server/plugins/content.ts

export default defineNitroPlugin((nitroApp) => {
  nitroApp.hooks.hook('content:file:afterParse', (file) => {
    if (file._id.endsWith('.md')) {
      // some logic to detect file's path
      file.layout = layoutForDir || file.layout
    }
  })
})

// nuxt.config.ts

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  nitro: {
    plugins: ['~/server/plugins/content.ts']
  }
})

That helped a lot. Thank you for the starting point.
