@ohos.bundle.overlay (overlay) (System API)

The overlay module provides APIs for installing a [module with the overlay feature]((js-apis-overlay.md#module-with-the-overlay-feature), querying the module information, and disabling and enabling the module.

NOTE

The initial APIs of this module are supported since API version 10. Newly added APIs will be marked with a superscript to indicate their earliest API version.

This topic describes only system APIs provided by the module. For details about its public APIs, see @ohos.bundle.overlay.

Modules to Import
