Default layout

This recipe demonstrates how to define or force a default layout.

Setting the layout manually:

The layout for each document can be set in the front matter yml:

---
title: Some amazing title
layout: whatever-layout
---

Defining a default layout:

If you want to define a default layout for the entire app, first set the global option layout:

app.option('layout', 'whatever-layout');

Then use some middleware to set the default layout if not explicitly defined in the current document:

app.preLayout( /./, function ( view, next ) {
	// if the layout is not defined, use the default one ...
	if (!view.layout && app.options.layout) {
    	view.layout = app.options.layout;
  	}
  	next();
} );
