Templates in Next.js 15 and their difference with Layouts
In this video, I explain the concept of templates in Next.js and how they differ from layouts. Templates allow you to reuse components across pages but don’t preserve the state like layouts do. This can be useful when you want to reset the state on each navigation, such as on a shopping or cart page. I also demonstrate how templates wrap pages in a structure between the layout and the page itself. Additionally, I introduce the metadata feature, which helps modify the page’s head section for things like setting the title.
