I’m trying to set up plotly.js in nuxt but whatever I do I get this cryptic error
self is not defined
I tried to install plotly.js
and plotly.js-dist
same error shows.
I would prefer to make custom build so I tried like this in nuxt plugins:
// here we use custom partial bundle
import plotly from 'plotly.js/lib/core';
import barpolar from 'plotly.js/lib/barpolar';
export default function (_, inject) {
plotly.register([barpolar]);
inject('plotly', plotly);
}
but whenever I register nuxt plugin site crashes with aforementioned error.
Even not going down custom bundle route, and using dist lib still fails just the same.
I also tried not to employ nuxt plugins system but to import manually and to set up, same things happen.
I also added ify-loader
as recommended here: GitHub - plotly/plotly-webpack: Example repo for bundling plotly.js with webpack and browserify
and this is my nuxt.config.js
in regards to webpack plugin:
build: {
extend(config, { isClient }) {
console.log('config :>> ', config);
config.module.rules.push({
test: /\.js$/,
use: [
'ify-loader',
'transform-loader?plotly.js/tasks/compress_attributes.js',
],
});
},
},
still no luck.
I presume this is problem with webpack 5 and plotly.js not working well together in default setup but I have no idea how to solve this.
Help appreciated.
