Using yarn:

yarn add @optimizely/optimizely-sdk

Using pnpm:

pnpm add @optimizely/optimizely-sdk

import optimizely from "npm:@optimizely/optimizely-sdk"

The full JavaScript SDK source code is on GitHub.

The JavaScript (Node) SDK requires Node version 8.0+.

The following peer dependencies may be required for use in production:

    ],  
    "publisher": "Kris Zyp",  
    "repository": "<https://github.com/kriszyp/json-schema>"
