# TriggerProvider
> The `TriggerProvider` component allows any hooks lower in the React hierarchy to connect to the Trigger.dev API.
Ensure this component is above any Trigger.dev hooks in the React component tree.
## Parameters
The public API key for your Trigger.dev account. You can find this on the
Environments & API Keys page inside your Project.
You only need to set this if you're self-hosting Trigger.dev. It defaults to
[https://api.trigger.dev](https://api.trigger.dev).
```typescript app/layout.tsx
import { TriggerProvider } from "@trigger.dev/react";
//you don't have to put TriggerProvider in layout.tsx,
//the hooks need this to be above them in the hierarchy
export default function RootLayout({
children,
}: {
children: React.ReactNode;
}) {
return (
{children}
);
}
```
