9 | 9 | 🦉 You'll notice that if you navigate to the `/users/kody` route, you'll see
|
10 |
| - the `Profile | Epic Notes` in the title. But you'll see only `Epic Notes` |
11 |
| - when you navigate to one of its child URLs, like `/users/kody/notes`. It |
12 |
| - behaves like that because, regardless the 2 URLs have a parent-child |
13 |
| - relationship, in terms of layout, `/users/kody/notes` is not a child of |
14 |
| - `/users/kody`. Remember that the latter folder path is defined like this: |
15 |
| - `routes/users+/$username.tsx` while the former's path is |
16 |
| - `routes/users+/$username_+/notes.tsx`. That little underscore in the name of |
17 |
| - the folder `$username_+` means that the pages inside will skip using the |
18 |
| - layout defined in the `routes/users+/$username.tsx` file. In other words, |
19 |
| - they won't be "layout-nested", even if they will be "url-nested". And, because |
20 |
| - they won't be layout-nested, they won't inherit the meta override defined |
21 |
| - in the `routes/users+/$username.tsx`, following, instead, the meta override |
22 |
| - defined in the `routes/root.tsx` which is its parent regarding layout. One way |
23 |
| - of seeing the layout parent-child relationships is by typing the |
24 |
| - `npx remix routes` in a terminal at the root of a remix project to see how |
25 |
| - the routes will be configured. It should give you a better view of the |
26 |
| - router layout-nesting structure. |

| 10 | + the `Profile | Epic Notes` in the title, which is expected. But if you |
| 11 | + navigate to a child path, like `/users/kody/notes`, you'll see only |
| 12 | + `Epic Notes` again. It may looks like this is an unexpected behavior as we |
| 13 | + might be expecting the children paths to inherit the parent's meta |
| 14 | + overrides. |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | + ## Use case: `/users/kody` and `/users/kody/notes` |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | + Let's focus on `/users/kody` and `/users/kody/notes` URL paths case for a |
| 19 | + while: regardless they have a parent-child relationship in terms of their |
| 20 | + paths, they *do not* have the same relashionship in the REMIX's layout |
| 21 | + hierarchy. This is how our pages are organized in terms of files |
| 22 | + inside of the `routes` directory: |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | + ```shell |
| 25 | + /users/kody <=> routes/users+/$username.tsx |
| 26 | + /users/kody/notes <=> routes/users+/$username_+/notes.tsx |
| 27 | + ``` |
| 28 | + That little underscore in the name of the folder `$username_+` means that |
| 29 | + the pages inside of it don't use the layout defined in the |
| 30 | + `routes/users+/$username.tsx` file (and consequently, they won't use the |
| 31 | + meta override defined over there). In other words: they aren't |
| 32 | + "layout-nested", even when *they are* "url-nested". In summary: |
| 33 | + - In terms of URL path: `/users/kody/notes` *is* a child of `/users/kody` |
| 34 | + - In terms of layout: `/users/kody/notes` *is not* a child of `/users/kody` |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | + The page in `/users/kody/notes` will, in fact, use the meta override from |
| 37 | + the first route module hierarchically above `routes/users+/$username.tsx`, |
| 38 | + which is the override we defined in the `root.tsx`. You can always have a |
| 39 | + better view of the layout-nesting by running `npx remix routes` in a |
| 40 | + terminal at the root of a remix project: |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | + ```shell |
| 43 | + ➜ playground :> npx remix routes |
| 44 | + <Routes> |
| 45 | + <Route file="root.tsx"> |
| 46 | + <Route index file="routes/index.tsx" /> |
| 47 | + <Route path="resources/healthcheck" file="routes/resources+/healthcheck.tsx" /> |
| 48 | + <Route path="users/:username" file="routes/users+/$username.tsx" /> |
| 49 | + <Route path="users/:username/notes" file="routes/users+/$username_+/notes.tsx"> |
| 50 | + <Route path=":noteId" file="routes/users+/$username_+/notes.$noteId.tsx" /> |
| 51 | + <Route path=":noteId/edit" file="routes/users+/$username_+/notes.$noteId_.edit.tsx" /> |
| 52 | + <Route index file="routes/users+/$username_+/notes.index.tsx" /> |
| 53 | + </Route> |
| 54 | + </Route> |
| 55 | + </Routes> |
| 56 | + ``` |
