Layout Configuration

The LayoutConfig covers almost all initialization and dynamic parameters of the layout component <AntdLayout />. Most of these configurations can be dynamically updated. However, some parameters are intentionally restricted in specific scenarios.

Configuration data can be persisted in the browser (localStorage) based on the routing context. Updates must be performed using the designated method (setLayoutConfig).

At the same time, configuration changes can be dynamically updated via setLayoutConfig, and the latest state can be accessed through layoutConfig. These two operations are handled separately via a write hook (setLayoutConfig) and a read-only hook (useConfigState).

Initial Layout Configuration

These are the initial parameters passed into the layout component on first load.

import { AntdLayout } from "@adminui-dev/antd-layout"
import type { LayoutConfig } from "@adminui-dev/antd-layout"

const layoutConfig:LayoutConfig = {
    layoutType:"leftMenu",  
    asideMenuInline:true,
    hideAsideMenuDataEmpty:true,
    skinName:"parkWavesLight",
    collapsedPosition:"center",
    menuIconSize:16,
    disabledLocale:false,
    menuItemSelectColor:"default",
    largeBrand:true,
}
export default function(){    
    return(
        <AntdLayout layoutConfig={layoutConfig} menuData={...}>        
    )
}

Dynamically Updating Layout Configuration

There are two approaches:

1. Using external state management (not recommended)

export default function(){    
    const [config,setConfig] = useState<LayoutConfig>({...})
    return(
        <AntdLayout layoutConfig={config} menuData={...}>        
    )
}

This works in practice, but is not recommended because some configuration parameters are intentionally restricted。

2. Using hooks inside components (recommended)

export default function(){    
    const config:LayoutConfig = {
        layoutType:"leftMenu",  
        asideMenuInline:true,
        ...
    }
    return(
        <AntdLayout layoutConfig={config} menuData={...}>        
    )
}

Inside pages, you can use the hooks useConfigAction and the action method setLayoutConfig

const { layoutConfig } = useConfigState()
const { setLayoutConfig } = useConfigAction()
...
setLayoutConfig( {...layoutConfig, layoutType:'headMenu' })
...

Configuration Restrictions

Some projects only require an initial layout configuration, while others need dynamic updates and persistence. In more advanced scenarios, configurations may need to be saved locally and restored on reload or next visit. To support these cases, certain behaviors are restricted at the framework level, for example:

• Configuration persistence in browser storage
• Internationalization and automatic theme switching
• Preloaded custom themes
• Forced locale mode (only allowing a single language despite multiple options)

When disabledStorageConfig = true, browser-based storage is disabled. After refresh, configuration changes will not persist.
