# Configure Snippets using Terraform

You can create Snippets using the [Terraform Cloudflare provider ↗](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/cloudflare/cloudflare/latest).

To get started with Terraform for Cloudflare configuration, refer to [Get started](https://edgetunnel-b2h.pages.dev/terraform/installing/).

## Example configuration

Note

Terraform code snippets below refer to the v4 SDK only.

The following example Terraform configuration creates a snippet and an associated snippet rule that defines when the snippet code will run. The snippet code is loaded from the `file1.js` file in your machine.

```tf
resource "cloudflare_snippet" "my_snippet" {
  zone_id  = "<ZONE_ID>"
  name = "my_test_snippet_1"
  main_module = "file1.js"
  files {
    name = "file1.js"
    content = file("file1.js")
  }
}


resource "cloudflare_snippet_rules" "cookie_snippet_rule" {
  zone_id  = "<ZONE_ID>"
  rules {
    enabled = true
    expression = "http.cookie eq \"a=b\""
    description = "Trigger snippet on specific cookie"
    snippet_name = "my_test_snippet_1"
  }
  depends_on = [cloudflare_snippet.my_snippet]
}
```

The name of a snippet can only contain the characters `a-z`, `0-9`, and `_` (underscore). The name must be unique in the context of the zone. You cannot change the snippet name after creating the snippet.

All `snippet_name` values in the `cloudflare_snippet_rules` resource must match the names of existing snippets.
