<script setup>
import { Link } from '@inertiajs/vue3';

Set the default layout
To set the default layout all you need to do is to import the MainLayout component and update the code inside the app.js file.
import './bootstrap';
import { createApp, h } from 'vue'
import { createInertiaApp } from '@inertiajs/vue3'
import MainLayout from '@/Pages/Layouts/MainLayout.vue';
createInertiaApp({
resolve: name => {
const pages = import.meta.glob('./Pages/**/*.vue', { eager: true })
const page = pages[`./Pages/${name}.vue`]
page.default.layout = page.default.layout || MainLayout
return page
},
setup({ el, App, props, plugin }) {
createApp({ render: () => h(App, props) })
.use(plugin)
.mount(el)
},
})
