Reuse module/component ( such as react, NPM )

App Platform
1

Hi, I’m a newbie and started looking at the sample apps. ( react-sample )

Just wondering if I can reuse component?
such as 1) NPM 2) Import/export module … etc

Because I have lots of UI components that I already build and want to reuse it.

Is it possible?

Yes, of course you can import modules from npm.
You will first need to include the module name and version in the manifest.json file (dependencies property) in case it is a backend app you are building.

{
  "platform-version": "2.0",
  "product": {
    "freshdesk": {
      "location": {
        "full_page_app": {
          "url": "template.html",
          "icon": "icon.svg"
        }
      }
    }
  },
  "dependencies":{
    "mongoose":"5.9.17" 
  }
}

If it is a frontend app, you can use transpilers like webpack or babel.
