I'm making a Discord bot using discord.js so I don't use any HTML in my project. I wanted to use plotly.js but the npm package seems to be greatly outdated (last update late 2015) while the CDN link is kept updated. Is there a way to load it and use that instead? How could I get the same result that <script src="https://cdn.plot.ly/plotly-latest.min.js"></script> would give me but in plain JS?

In my experience with CDN packages, getting the link directly from cdnjs.com and using that link as the src usually works for me. This is the link I found when searching for "plotly" at cdnjs.com: https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/plotly.js/1.51.1/plotly.min.js – developer01 Mar 20 '20 at 18:43

Does this answer your question? [Dynamically load JS inside JS](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14521108/dynamically-load-js-inside-js) – Codebreaker007 Mar 20 '20 at 19:11

I think you viewed the wrong package.
When checking out plotly.js/master/package.json, we can see that the name of the package is plotly.js, wich is found here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/plotly.js.
To install use npm i plotly.js.
Alternative you can insall directly from the master branch with npm i plotly/plotly.js.

I just noticed this but gives me a ``var style = document.getElementById(id);`` error I'm assuming because I have no HTML in my project. Any workarounds? – Tony Mar 22 '20 at 20:22

It looks like plotly _was_ the correct package because it works on node https://github.com/plotly/plotly-nodejs#plotlygetimagefigure-options-callback so guess this cant be fixed :/ – Tony Mar 22 '20 at 20:37

https://github.com/plotly/plotly-nodejs the repo hasn't really been updated for 4 years, that's what I'm using. – Tony Mar 23 '20 at 11:27
