The purpose of this repository is to provide a bundled ESM version of the plotly.js library that is easy to access, especially as an Artifact from Julia packages (e.g. PlutoPlotly.jl).
To do so, the code in this library will simply download a specific version of the plotly.js library, bundle it using Bun and upload it in a github release of the same version number as the corresponding plotly.js version.
The bundled ESM module is uploaded as a release asset both directly with the .mjs extension, and as a .tar.gz archive which contains the .mjs file as well as a VERSION file with the plotly.js version contained in the archive.
The bundle is not committed to the repository itself to avoid polluting the history but it's only uploaded as a release asset. If one is interested in directly loading from the web the plotly library as ESM module it is sufficient to use the https://esm.sh service like so with the following example format for version 2.30.0 of the library:
The .tar.gz asset is particularly useful for use as Artifact and can be easily added to any julia repository using the following code adapted from the README of ArtifactUtils.jl:
julia> using ArtifactUtils
julia> add_artifact!(
"Artifacts.toml",
"plotly-esm-min", # You can customize the artifact name here
"https://github.com/disberd/PlotlyArtifactsESM/releases/download/v2.26.0/plotly-esm-min.tar.gz",
force=true,
)The bundling and publishing of the new releases of plotly.js should happen automatically via github actions.
For currently un-released version, like most of version before 2.26.0 or new versions before they are released in the periodic action, it is also possible to trigger a release by opening an issue on this repository with the title in this format:
release plotly vX.Y.Z
Another github action listens to new issues with that title format and takes care of automatically releasing the requested version. See for example the following issues:
