# Layout Overrides

# Overview

The src/layouts folder in the root of the src folder is for users to override layouts built in the src/@core folder. It is highly recommended to override layouts in the src/layouts folder instead of directly working in the src/@core folder. This will ease your updates to newer versions without facing any hassle of backing up your current code, else it will override your changes in the src/@core folder each time you take an update.

Most of the layout components explained on this page are overridden in the src/layouts/UserLayout.tsx file.

# Layout PropTypes

Following is the PropTypes for Vertical and Horizontal Layouts only.

export type LayoutProps = {
  hidden: boolean
  settings: Settings
  children: ReactNode
  scrollToTop?: (props?: any) => ReactNode
  saveSettings: (values: Settings) => void
  footerProps?: {
    sx?: SxProps<Theme>
    content?: (props?: any) => ReactNode
  }
  horizontalLayoutProps?: {
    appBar?: {
      componentProps?: AppBarProps
      content?: (props?: any) => ReactNode
      branding?: (props?: any) => ReactNode
    }
    navMenu?: {
      sx?: SxProps<Theme>
      navItems?: HorizontalNavItemsType
      content?: (props?: any) => ReactNode
    }
  }
  verticalLayoutProps: {
    appBar?: {
      componentProps?: AppBarProps
      content?: (props?: any) => ReactNode
    }
    navMenu: {
      lockedIcon?: ReactNode
      unlockedIcon?: ReactNode
      navItems?: VerticalNavItemsType
      content?: (props?: any) => ReactNode
      branding?: (props?: any) => ReactNode
      afterContent?: (props?: any) => ReactNode
      beforeContent?: (props?: any) => ReactNode
      componentProps?: Omit<SwipeableDrawerProps, 'open' | 'onOpen' | 'onClose'>
    }
  }
}

# Vertical Layout

You can override the following layout components:

App Logo
Menu collapse icons
Menu content
Add content before menu items
Add content after menu items
Hide menu based on screen size
Navbar (or AppBar) Content
Footer content
How to add custom styles

# 1. App Logo

If you want to change the app logo, you need to use the verticalLayoutProps prop with the Layout component and the type accepted by this prop is:

verticalLayoutProps: {
  navMenu: {
    branding?: (props?: any) => ReactNode
  }
}

Here is the code to change the app logo:

Result:

NOTE

When you override the app logo and when the menu is collapsed, padding-left of the menu header will reduce to 0. To center align your logo, you need to manually add margin-left to your overridden logo.

If you want to change the icons for collapsing the vertical menu, you need to use the verticalLayoutProps prop with the Layout component and the type accepted by this prop is:

verticalLayoutProps: {
  navMenu: {
    lockedIcon?: ReactNode
    unlockedIcon?: ReactNode
  }
}

Here is the code to change the icons for collapsing the vertical menu:

Result of lockedIcon:

Result of unlockedIcon:

If you want to change the menu content, you need to use the verticalLayoutProps prop with the Layout component and the type accepted by this prop is:

verticalLayoutProps: {
  navMenu: {
    content?: (props?: any) => ReactNode
  }
}

Here is the code to change the menu content:

Result:

If you want to add something before the menu items, you need to use the verticalLayoutProps prop with the Layout component and the type accepted by this prop is:

verticalLayoutProps: {
  navMenu: {
    beforeContent?: (props?: any) => ReactNode
  }
}

Here is the code to add user info before the menu items:

Result:

If you want to add something after the menu items, you need to use the verticalLayoutProps prop with the Layout component and the type accepted by this prop is:

verticalLayoutProps: {
  navMenu: {
    afterContent?: (props?: any) => ReactNode
  }
}

Here is the code to add menu footer info after the menu items:

Result:

The hidden prop is used to hide the vertical menu at a given screen size. The menu will only be accessible from the Hamburger menu icon which is known as the Vertical Overlay Menu. You can change the screen size from which you want to hide the vertical menu.

In the example below, the vertical menu is visible above the lg breakpoint and on screen size below the lg breakpoint, it will change to the vertical overlay menu which can be accessed from the Hamburger menu icon.

const hidden = useMediaQuery((theme: Theme) => theme.breakpoints.down('lg'))

You can also change its value using a specific screen size:

const hidden = useMediaQuery('(max-width:1365px)')

The content in the appBar comes from the user side itself and thus, it would be very easy and convenient for you to change anything in the appBar. You just have to change the code in the src/layouts/components/vertical/AppBarContent.tsx file as per your requirements. The appBar component is then passed in the verticalLayoutProps prop with the Layout component and the type accepted by this prop is:

verticalLayoutProps: {
  appBar?: {
    content?: (props?: any) => ReactNode
  }
}

Here is the code to change the appBar:

Result:

# 8. Footer content

If you want to change the footer content, you need to use the footerProps prop with the Layout component and the type accepted by this prop is:

footerProps?: {
  content?: (props?: any) => ReactNode
}

Here is the code to change the footer content:

Result:

# 9. How to add custom styles

You can add your custom styles for the whole layout with the help of footerProps and verticalLayoutProps props with the Layout component. The type for the same is:

footerProps?: {
  sx?: SxProps<Theme>
}
verticalLayoutProps: {
  appBar?: {
    componentProps?: AppBarProps
  }
  navMenu: {
    componentProps?: Omit<SwipeableDrawerProps, 'open' | 'onOpen' | 'onClose'>
  }
}

Refer to the following example for adding your custom styles:

# Horizontal Layout

How to add custom styles

# 1. App Logo

If you want to change the app logo, you need to use the verticalLayoutProps and horizontalLayoutProps props with the Layout component and the type accepted by these props is:

verticalLayoutProps: {
  navMenu: {
    branding?: (props?: any) => ReactNode
  }
}
horizontalLayoutProps?: {
  appBar?: {
    branding?: (props?: any) => ReactNode
  }
}

Here is the code to change the app logo:

Result:

If you want to change the menu content, you need to use the verticalLayoutProps and horizontalLayoutProps props with the Layout component and the type accepted by these props is:

verticalLayoutProps: {
  navMenu: {
    content?: (props?: any) => ReactNode
  }
}
horizontalLayoutProps?: {
  navMenu: {
    content?: (props?: any) => ReactNode
  }
}

Here is the code to change the menu content:

Result:

The hidden prop is used to hide the horizontal menu at a given screen size. The menu will only be accessible from the Hamburger menu icon which is known as the Vertical Overlay Menu. You can change the screen size from which you want to hide the horizontal menu.

In the example below, the horizontal menu is visible above the lg breakpoint and on screen size below the lg breakpoint, it will change to the vertical overlay menu which can be accessed from the Hamburger menu icon.

const hidden = useMediaQuery((theme: Theme) => theme.breakpoints.down('lg'))

You can also change its value using a specific screen size:

const hidden = useMediaQuery('(max-width:1365px)')

# 4. AppBar Content

The content in the appBar which is on the right side comes from the user side itself and thus, it would be very easy and convenient for you to change anything in the appBar. You just have to change the code in the src/layouts/components/horizontal/AppBarContent.tsx file. The appBar component is then passed in the horizontalLayoutProps prop with the Layout component. The appBar component for the Vertical Layout (which comes from the src/layouts/components/vertical/AppBarContent.tsx file) is passed in the verticalLayoutProps prop with the Layout component.

The type accepted by these props is:

verticalLayoutProps: {
  appBar?: {
    content?: (props?: any) => ReactNode
  }
}
horizontalLayoutProps?: {
  appBar?: {
    content?: (props?: any) => ReactNode
  }
}

Suppose you need the app logo, navigation menu as well as some actions in one line, then you need to follow the steps given below.

Firstly, you need to hide the navigation menu section which is below the appBar from the src/configs/themeConfig.ts file:

Then you need to change the appBar accordingly:

Then you need to pass that component in the horizontalLayoutProps prop with the Layout component:

Result:

# 5. Footer content

If you want to change the footer content, you need to use the footerProps prop with the Layout component and the type accepted by this prop is:

footerProps?: {
  content?: (props?: any) => ReactNode
}

Here is the code to change the footer content:

Result:

# 6. How to add custom styles

You can add your custom styles for the whole layout with the help of footerProps, verticalLayoutProps and horizontalLayoutProps props with the Layout component. The type for the same is:

footerProps?: {
  sx?: SxProps<Theme>
}
verticalLayoutProps: {
  appBar?: {
    componentProps?: AppBarProps
  }
  navMenu: {
    componentProps?: Omit<SwipeableDrawerProps, 'open' | 'onOpen' | 'onClose'>
  }
}
horizontalLayoutProps?: {
  appBar?: {
    componentProps?: AppBarProps
  }
  navMenu?: {
    sx?: SxProps<Theme>
  }
}

Refer to the following example for adding your custom styles:

# Blank Layout
