# Third-party packages

## Overview

The HTML Canvas widget supports importing third-party libraries from CDNs. By specifying a CDN URL, you can include third-party libraries written in vanilla JavaScript or React.

## Importing React libraries

To import React libraries into the HTML Canvas widget, the CDN must provide the library in UMD (Universal Module Definition) format. You can identify UMD CDN links by looking for `umd` in the URL path or filename. Sources like unpkg and jsDelivr usually label them as `umd`.

## Example

The following example shows how to import the jQuery library for use in the widget.

Third-party libraries are imported by clicking the *3rd party libraries* option and pasting the library URL there, as shown below:

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://dev.ubidots.com/dashboards-and-widgets/html-canvas/3rd-party-packages.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
