How to pass prop from page to layout

I currently have duplicated layout that the only difference is a prop I pass to a component:

default.vue

    <template>
      <div class="page">
        <SkipToContent />
        <Header />
        <Nuxt />
        <Footer />
      </div>
    </template>

front.vue

    <template>
      <div class="page">
        <SkipToContent />
        <Header light="true" />
        <Nuxt />
        <Footer />
      </div>
    </template>

Is there any way to pass that light: true from page to layout so I can use only default.vue layout?

I know I could emit some event on mounted but would like to prevent using lifecycle hooks

vue-props nuxt.js vue.js

Passing data up from a child is ideally done by emitting events, and you don't need to use lifecycle hooks for that (a custom event listener would work).

But I think a cleaner solution would be to factor out the common markup into a component that receives a light prop, and use them in both layouts:

<!-- components/CommonLayout.vue -->
<template>
  <div class="page">
    <SkipToContent />
    <Header :light="light" />
    <Nuxt />
    <Footer />
  </div>
</template>

<script>
export default {
  props: {
    light: Boolean,
  }
}
</script>

<!-- layouts/default.vue -->
<template>
  <CommonLayout />
</template>

<!-- layouts/front.vue -->
<template>
  <CommonLayout light />
</template>
