{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DiscussionForumPosting","headline":"Distributing partial plotly.js bundles","articleBody":"We currently distribute 3 plotly.js bundles:\n- `plotly.js`\n- `plotly.min.js` (minified version of `plotly.js`)\n- `plotly-with-meta.js` (`plotly.js` including attribute meta which are otherwise [compressed](https://github.com/plotly/plotly.js/blob/master/tasks/util/compress_attributes.js))\n\nAll 3 bundles are generated using the same index file in [`lib/index.js`](https://github.com/plotly/plotly.js/blob/master/lib/index.js).\n\nFor `v1.14.0`, `plotly.min.js` includes 14 trace modules and weighs a hefty `1.17 MB`. So, it goes without saying that we should start distributing partial bundles. Determining how to split our modules into partial bundles isn't as obvious though.\n\nI propose:\n- `plotly.js`, `plotly.min.js` and `plotly-with-meta.js` will always include **all** non-beta modules\n- `plotly-basic.js` would include `scatter`, `bar` and `pie`\n- `plotly-cartesian` would include all `cartesian` and `ternary` trace types\n- `plotly-geo` would include all `geo` trace types\n- `plotly-gl3d.js` would include all `gl3d` trace types\n- `plotly-gl2d.js` would include all `gl2d` trace types \n- or maybe a `plotly-gl.js` that would combine all `gl3d` and `gl2d` trace types\n- `plotly-mapbox.js` would include all `mapbox` trace types\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/etpinard","@type":"Person","name":"etpinard"},"datePublished":"2016-06-23T14:22:13.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":2},"url":"https://github.com/684/plotly.js/issues/684"}
