Svelte Plotly.js

Unofficial Plotly package for Svelte and SvelteKit.

Plotly.js for Svelte

This is an unofficial package that lets you efficiently use plotly.js inside your Svelte or SvelteKit app.

Usage

  1. Install using yarn add svelte-plotly.js or npm install svelte-plotly.js.
  2. Choose a Plotly distribution:
    • If you want to use plotly.js-dist, just install it.
    • If you want to use a different distribution, take a look at this section.
  3. Use in your app:
<script lang="ts">
  import Plot from 'svelte-plotly.js';

  const data = [
    {
      x: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5],
      y: [1, 2, 4, 8, 16]
    }
  ];
</script>

<Plot
  {data}
  layout={{
    margin: { t: 0 }
  }}
  fillParent='width'
  debounce={250}
/>

Custom Plotly distribution

Let's say you want to use svelte-plotly.js with a custom Plotly.js distribution, for example plotly.js-basic-dist-min. If you use Vite for bundling, the recommended way to do this would be to install plotly.js-basic-dist-min and then register it as an alias for plotly.js-dist by adding the following to your vite.config.js:

resolve: {
  alias: {
    "plotly.js-dist": "plotly.js-basic-dist-min",
    lodash: "lodash-es",
  },
},

If you don't use Vite, or this approach doesn't work for you, you can also use the libPlotly prop of the Plotly component:

<script lang="ts">
  import Plot from 'svelte-plotly.js';
  import libPlotly from 'plotly.js-basic-dist-min';
</script>

<Plot {libPlotly} ... />
