Add a dependency
Optimizely Connect Platform (OCP) apps have a set of pre-defined dependencies in the package.json file. You can add your own dependencies by using the npm install or yarn add command, or by manually editing the package.json file.
Add a dependency
OCP apps on the node22 runtime use the built-in fetch API for HTTP calls — no extra library required. If you prefer to use the axios library instead, you can add it to your app by running the following command:
npm install axiosAdd a dev dependency
If a dependency is only required at build and test time, for example, a testing library like mocha, you can add it as a dev dependency:
npm install --save-dev mocha📘 Note All OCP apps come with the vitest library by default (for testing).
For dependencies without types, you should add TypeScript type definitions to your dev dependencies. Alternatively, you can manually add production or dev dependencies by manually editing the package.json file.
📘 Note You can add any dependency available in the public NPM repository. OCP does not support dependencies in private repositories. They can work locally, but the build fails when you push your app to OCP.
