By default, plotly.js' TypedArray polyfill is included as a dependency, so printing "just works" in any context. Many users won't need this polyfill, so this function may be used to remove it and thus reduce the size of the page.
remove_typedarray_polyfill(p)a plotly object
The polyfill seems to be only relevant for those rendering plots via phantomjs and RStudio on some Windows platforms.
if (FALSE) {
p1 <- plot_ly()
p2 <- remove_typedarray_polyfill(p1)
t1 <- tempfile(fileext = ".html")
htmlwidgets::saveWidget(p1, t1)
file.info(t1)$size
htmlwidgets::saveWidget(p2, t1)
file.info(t1)$size
}
