title: Aliases
---
An **alias** is a handy shortcut for your JavaScript import paths. This can be a great option if you dislike long relative import paths with many repeating `../` segments. Define an **alias** in your project to import directly from some directory no matter how deeply nested a file is located.

With aliases, you can import from `"components/SomeComponent.astro"` instead of `"../../../../../components/SomeComponent.astro"`.
## Adding a custom alias
To add custom aliases to your project, located in the root of your project is the `snowpack.config.mjs` file. This configuration file contains the instructions for Astro's build tool [Snowpack](https://www.snowpack.dev/reference/configuration), on how to build out your Astro project.

## Usage
Now just use the **defined** aliases in a file of your choice:
```js
import '@public/assets/logo.svg';
import MyComponent from 'components/MyComponent/MyComponent.tsx'
import MyComponent from 'components/MyComponent/MyComponent.tsx';
```
