How can I use third party npm packages in Splunk app?

mohsenvafa — Tue, 15 Jan 2019 23:18:49 GMT

I am creating an app using Splunk Web splunk app. I need to install a third party library from npm package manager by npm install command.
Where and how I can install the package?

To be specific, I want to install puppeteer package and use it in my js file.

https://www.npmjs.com/package/puppeteer

here is my code:

const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');

(async () => {
  const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
  const page = await browser.newPage();
  await page.goto('https://example.com');

  // Get the "viewport" of the page, as reported by the page.
  const dimensions = await page.evaluate(() => {
    return {
      width: document.documentElement.clientWidth,
      height: document.documentElement.clientHeight,
      deviceScaleFactor: window.devicePixelRatio
    };
  });

  console.log('Dimensions:', dimensions);

  await browser.close();
})();

I don't think it is the solution. The library I am going to use is a npm package. In that article, it has not mentioned anything about this kind libray.
