## Creating a custom snippet
**Pre-condition**: You must create your snippet file in the `snippets` directory.
<Note>
Any page in the `snippets` directory will be treated as a snippet and will not be rendered into a standalone page. If
you want to create a standalone page from the snippet, import the snippet into another file and call it as a
component.
</Note>
### Default export
1. Add content to your snippet file that you want to re-use across multiple
locations. Optionally, you can add variables that can be filled in via props
when you import the snippet.
```mdx snippets/my-snippet.mdx
Hello world! This is my content I want to reuse across pages. My keyword of the
day is {word}.
```
<Warning>
The content that you want to reuse must be inside the `snippets` directory in order for the import to work.
</Warning>
2. Import the snippet into your destination file.
```mdx destination-file.mdx
---
title: My title
description: My Description
---
import MySnippet from "/snippets/path/to/my-snippet.mdx"
## Header
Lorem impsum dolor sit amet.
<MySnippet word="bananas" />
```
### Reusable variables
1. Export a variable from your snippet file:
```mdx snippets/path/to/custom-variables.mdx
export const myName = "my name"
export const myObject = { fruit: "strawberries" }
;
```
2. Import the snippet from your destination file and use the variable:
```mdx destination-file.mdx
---
title: My title
description: My Description
---
import { myName, myObject } from "/snippets/path/to/custom-variables.mdx"
Hello, my name is {myName} and I like {myObject.fruit}.
```
### Reusable components
1. Inside your snippet file, create a component that takes in props by exporting
your component in the form of an arrow function.
```mdx snippets/custom-component.mdx
export const MyComponent = ({ title }) => (
<div>
<h1>{title}</h1>
<p>... snippet content ...</p>
</div>
)
;
```
<Warning>
MDX does not compile inside the body of an arrow function. Stick to HTML syntax when you can or use a default export
if you need to use MDX.
</Warning>
2. Import the snippet into your destination file and pass in the props
```mdx destination-file.mdx
---
title: My title
description: My Description
---
import { MyComponent } from "/snippets/custom-component.mdx"
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.
<MyComponent title={"Custom title"} />
```
