How to Handle Global Data in ExpressJS

Question

I am trying to build an express.js app and I want to pass some data to my main layout. For example, a list of navigation links that I use on every page. I know how to pass data

Why are you not just using global state?

const navbarItems = [{ pageTitle: 'Home' }]

app.get('/', (req, res) => {
 res.render('index', navbarItems);
}
