Quick start options

Install with npm

npm install plotly.js-dist

and import plotly.js as import Plotly from 'plotly.js-dist'; or var Plotly = require('plotly.js-dist');.

Use the plotly.js CDN hosted by Fastly

<!-- Latest compiled and minified plotly.js JavaScript -->
<script src="https://cdn.plot.ly/plotly-latest.min.js"></script>

<!-- OR use a specific plotly.js release (e.g. version 1.5.0) -->
<script src="https://cdn.plot.ly/plotly-1.5.0.min.js"></script>

<!-- OR an un-minified version is also available -->
<script src="https://cdn.plot.ly/plotly-latest.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

and use the Plotly object in the window scope.

Modules

Starting in v1.15.0, plotly.js ships with several partial bundles (more info here).

Starting in v1.39.0, plotly.js publishes distributed npm packages with no dependencies. For example, run npm install plotly.js-geo-dist and add import Plotly from 'plotly.js-geo-dist'; to your code to start using the plotly.js geo package.

If none of the distributed npm packages meet your needs, and you would like to manually pick which plotly.js modules to include, you'll first need to run npm install plotly.js and then 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. For example, in CommonJS:

// 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.

Non-ascii characters

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 src="my-plotly-bundle.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Building plotly.js

Building instructions using webpack, browserify and other build frameworks are in BUILDING.md
