I have tested this with our own components and can confirm that this now allows the use of plotly.js-dist alongside this library.plotly/plotly.js#5925 (comment)

If this was to be merged then I think the installation section of the readme would also need updating.

This would also be considered a breaking change for anybody currently using this library with plotly.js.

It should already be possible to use adist bundle with this library without changingpackage.json ... Check out this section of the readme:https://github.com/plotly/react-plotly.js#customizing-the-plotlyjs-bundle

@nicolaskruchten I think there's a broken link there. When clicking on "assemble you own customized bundle" it just takes to main plotly.js readme.

I think the point here is that this library is now no longer aligned with the recommendations from plotly.js which itself now promotes the use of plotly.js-dist rather than plotly.js. Sure, we could all go ahead and write some custom code to use a different bundle but then how many different people need to do that? Makes sense to me to align the default setup of this library with the default (as of v2) recommendations from plotly.js.

Yes, we should, I agree, but given that we're feeling pretty short-handed at the moment, I'm providing you with options that you can use today :)

Here's where that link should point:https://github.com/plotly/plotly.js/blob/master/CUSTOM_BUNDLE.md

This would reduce the bundle size no?@archmoj

Hi@nicolaskruchten@dmbarry86, were there any further steps to resolve this dependency issue? I see that this PR has been open for a number of years without any resolution.

@saimidu I don't think either of them still work at Plotly.
