plotly.js 1.57.0/1.56.0 and react-plotly.js 2.5.0 are not said to be incompatible

[silviubogan]

This combination of plotly.js and react-plotly.js seems to be unsupported. I might try with other versions in future too. It would be useful to write about this in some file if it is confirmed.

plotly.js 1.56.0 has a similar error:

Thank you.

I am not sure if the title of this issue is correct. After posting the above, I tested locally in another separate project and the versions look compatible. Maybe it is an issue in CodeSandbox, or in other places too. I don't know.

Are things working in this same environment with previous versions i.e. 1.55 ? I don't think we broke anything here.

It is not working with 1.55 in CodeSandbox: https://codesandbox.io/s/trusting-jepsen-j4cvi?file=/package.json.

plotly.js npm page says to install it with "plotly.js-dist".
The readme here says to install "plotly.js"

I tried upgrading to 2.51 and plotly.js-dist to 1.58.4 but all sorts of errors appear. Adding plotly.js as another dependency gave me "d3 is not defined".
