Research direction

Start by reviewing the Julia examples described in the issue and identify which Julia or Plotly version they target. Compare them with Julia 1.1 and later usage, then update the examples and document the supported version and current way to use Plotly when the examples run successfully.

Description

i cannot get the examples to run in julia 1.1 , I get type errors, plot wont accept the arrays of string => values any more, it needs an array of abstracttypes....
i.e. not trace2 = [
"x" => [1, 2, 3, 4],
"y" => [16, 5, 11, 9],
"type" => "scatter"]
but
trace1 = scatter(
x= [1, 2, 3, 4],
y= [10, 15, 13, 17],
mode="lines")
response = Plotly.plot(trace1).
Where can i find the version of Julia de the examples are based on, and where can i find docs to use plotly in Julia 1.1 and later?
Sorry, I am new in Julia, probably the questions are easily solvable.
