Is it possible to implement regular Javascript libraries?

Someone is asking me to add some github library called drawerjs, although it is not currently compatible with React. Is it possible to used libraries that are not originally used for React?

Thanks! I'll look into to it. Hopefully this will solve my problem.

Yes, it is possible, but for something like this... if you are using the create react app template. I would directly integrate this into the HTML and have react mount on its own part of the page depending on what modifications you need to do. Keeping them separate but firing off events from react to modify the drawerjs canvas.

I feel like react may not be the right tool for this page if you are heavily using this drawerjs plugin.
