Usage of Third- and Fourth-Party Libraries

What does the following error message mean: "Stage model module... does not support including OpenHarmony npm packages or modules in FA model. OpenHarmony build tasks will not be executed, and OpenHarmony resources will not be packed."

Applicable to: OpenHarmony SDK 3.2.5.3, stage model of API version 9

The third- and fourth-party libraries are not yet compatible with the stage model of API version 9 and cannot be used.

Can I transfer project-level dependencies?

Applicable to: OpenHarmony SDK 3.2.5.3, stage model of API version 9

For example, if project A depends on project B and project B depends on project C, can project A directly use the APIs provided by project C?

No. Project A cannot directly use the APIs provided by project C. The project packing tool NPM does not support dependency transfer. To use the APIs provided by project C, you can add the dependency of project C to project A.

How do I obtain available third-party libraries?
