Plot from .json file

[SimoneTosato]

Hi,
I'm currently developing an app based on Electron and i'm implementing real time plotting of a timeseries using plotly.js. Currently i'm using lowdb to create a json file in which I save my (x,y) points and some other infos, is it possible in plotly to use the file as a source to plot data from? I hope this is not a duplicated issue, i haven't found anything about this yet.
If it could be useful my .json file has the following structure

{
    '_data_':[
        { 'series': , 'timestamp': , 'value': }
        .
        .
        .
   ],
  'other data'....
}

plotly.js has no notion of source plot data. In essence, plotly.js can only plot coordinates (e.g. x, y) arrays out of the box.

So, you can either convert your json into x and y arrays as e.g.

Plotly.plot('graph', [{
  x: _data_.map((d) => d.timestamp),
  y: _data_.map((d) => d.value)
}])

or write + register a custom transform plugin. See example: http://codepen.io/etpinard/pen/mrNvbg
