# Create an example

## Why have I been given this link?

Someone who is trying to help answer your question will give you this link if you have not provided a "minimal reproducible example" of your problem.\
You can assume they want you to create one and to then post the link to it, in the same thread.

You will get much better help if you do this, and you will learn to solve your own problems.

Also, it is considered a basic sign of respect for those who are volunteering their time to help you.

## So, what should I do?

* If you don't know what it means to create this kind of example. read the article: [How to create a Minimal, Reproducible Example](https://stackoverflow.com/help/minimal-reproducible-example) on StackOverflow.
* Follow the guidance of that article, to create an example on any one of the following: 
  * [codepen.io](https://codepen.io/pen/), 
  * [repl.it](https://repl.it/), 
  * [codesandbox](https://codesandbox.io/)
  * [jsfiddle](https://jsfiddle.net/)
  * [glitch](https://glitch.com/)
* check that it really doesn't have any code that is irrelevant to the problem
* post your example on the Slack thread

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.codeyourfuture.io/archive/archived-pages/guides/common-responses/create-a-minimal-reproducible-example.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
