Description

The feature would be great to improve UI/UX. Particular with many shiny applications taking longer than 0.5 seconds to load. plotly.js does this, but the R implementation does not.

Reproducible example This issue is reproducible across any R implementation of plotly. It's documented on Stackoverflow and the r plotly community: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/36129522/show-loading-graph-message-in-plotly https://community.plot.ly/t/how-to-show-loading-graphs-message-in-plotly/684

@cpsievert - BTW, thank you so for your work on R plotly, your impact is huge.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine how plotly.js implements its loading message (e.g., via CSS overlay or JavaScript callbacks). Then, integrate a similar solution into the R plotly package using htmlwidgets, possibly by modifying the widget's JavaScript or adding a configurable option.
