Starting in v1.15.0, plotly.js also ships with several partial bundles (more info here).
If you would like to manually pick which plotly.js modules to include, you can create a custom bundle by using plotly.js/lib/core, and loading only the trace types that you need (e.g. pie or choropleth). The recommended way to do this is by creating a bundling file:
// in custom-plotly.js
var Plotly = require('plotly.js/lib/core');
// Load in the trace types for pie, and choropleth
Plotly.register([
require('plotly.js/lib/pie'),
require('plotly.js/lib/choropleth')
]);
module.exports = Plotly;Then elsewhere in your code:
var Plotly = require('./path/to/custom-plotly');To learn more about the plotly.js module architecture, refer to our modularizing monolithic JS projects post.
Important: the plotly.js code base contains some non-ascii characters. Therefore, please make sure to set the charset attribute to "utf-8" in the script tag that imports your plotly.js bundle. For example:
<script type="text/javascript" src="my-plotly-bundle.js" charset="utf-8"></script>For plotly.js to build with Webpack you will need to install ify-loader@v1.1.0+ and add it to your webpack.config.json. This adds Browserify transform compatibility to Webpack which is necessary for some plotly.js dependencies.
A repo that demonstrates how to build plotly.js with Webpack can be found here. In short add ify-loader to the module section in your webpack.config.js:
...
module: {
loaders: [
{
test: /\.js$/,
loader: 'ify-loader'
}
]
},
