NPM modules for dists

[nicolaskruchten]

Idea: we could have an NPM module called e.g. plotly.js-dist which contained only precompiled bundles. Or we could have an NPM module per bundle. These modules would have zero dependencies so they would never throw warnings on installation and they would download really fast and require no special Webpack loaders or Browserify transforms so they would work smoothly with create-react-app or Next.js or whatever comes next :)

Great idea.

I'll even suggest making one npm registry per partial bundle that is plotly.js-basic, plotly.js-cartesian, plotly.js-geo, plotly.js-gl3d, plotly.js-gl2d, plotly.js-mapbox, plotly.js-finance that would only include one .js and one .min.js file.
