Custom bundle

You can simply make custom bundles yourself, if none of the distributed packages meet your needs, or you want to make a more optimized bundle file with/without specific traces and transforms.

Install plotly.js, move to plotly.js folder then install plotly.js dependencies:

npm i plotly.js
cd node_modules/plotly.js
npm i

By default all traces and transforms are included in the bundle if you simply run:

npm run custom-bundle

Use the traces option to include just the trace types you need.

npm run custom-bundle -- --traces scatter,scattergl,scatter3d

Please note that the scatter trace is currently included in all bundles and cannot be removed. This behaviour may change in the future, so we recommend that you explicitly include scatter anyway if you need it in your bundle.

Use the transforms option to specify which should be included.

npm run custom-bundle -- --transforms sort,filter

Or use transforms none to exclude them all.

npm run custom-bundle -- --transforms none

Use the out option to change the bundle filename (default custom). The new bundle will be created in the dist/ directory and named plotly-<out>.min.js or plotly-<out>.js if unminified.

npm run custom-bundle -- --out myBundleName

Use the unminified option to disable compression.

npm run custom-bundle -- --unminified

Example illustrating use of different options together

To create an unminified custom bundle named myScatters including scatter, scattergl and scatter3d traces without any transforms:

npm run custom-bundle -- \
    --unminified \
    --out myScatters \
    --traces scatter,scattergl,scatter3d \
    --transforms none

Or simply on one line:

npm run custom-bundle -- --unminified --out myScatters --traces scatter,scattergl,scatter3d --transforms none
