Gadgets
OOjs UI can be used in on-wiki gadgets or user scripts. As above, you just need to ensure the  module is loaded before your code runs.

For gadgets, you should add an entry in the  field of gadget description. See Gadgets' documentation for instructions and examples.

For user scripts, wrap your code in a  call, as always when loading modules. See ResourceLoader documentation for instructions. Example:
