| 1 | # Components in Slides |
| 2 | |
| 3 | One of the most powerful features of Slidev is the ability to use Vue components directly in your slides. This allows you to create interactive and dynamic content with ease. |

| 5 | ## Using Components {#use} |
| 6 | |
| 7 | With the help of [`unplugin-vue-components`](https://github.com/unplugin/unplugin-vue-components), Slidev allows you to use Vue components directly in your slides without importing them manually: |
| 8 | |
| 9 | ```md |
| 10 | # My Slide |
| 11 | |
| 12 | <MyComponent :count="4"/> |
| 13 | ``` |
| 14 | |
| 15 | The components come from: |
| 16 | |
| 17 | - Built-in components. See [Built-in Components](../builtin/components) for reference. |
| 18 | - Provided by the theme and addons. See <LinkInline link="guide/theme-addon" />. |
| 19 | - Custom components in the `components` directory. See the next section. |
| 20 | |
| 21 | ## Writing Components {#write} |
| 22 | |
| 23 | To create a custom component, simply create a new Vue file in the `components` directory: |
| 24 | |
| 25 | ```bash |
| 26 | your-slidev/ |
| 27 | ├── ... |
| 28 | ├── slides.md |
| 29 | └── components/ |
| 30 | ├── ... |
| 31 | └── MyComponent.vue |
| 32 | ``` |
| 33 | |
| 34 | Refer to the [Vue documentation](https://vuejs.org/guide/essentials/component-basics.html) for how to write Vue components. |
| 35 | |
| 36 | You can also <LinkInline link="guide/write-addon" /> to reuse and share your components with others. |
