// components paths
export const SupplierManagerComponents = SupplierManager.componentLists;
// route paths
export const SupplierManagerRoutes = SupplierManager.routePath;


```

If you wish to uninstall or remove the SupplierManagement addon, replace the component paths and route paths with an empty array.

```
// ----------------------Supplier Manager--------------------------
import * as SupplierManager from './SupplierManagement/SupplierMangement.contant'
// components paths
export const SupplierManagerComponents =[];
// route paths
export const SupplierManagerRoutes = [];


```
