Description

Updating to plotly 4.1 caused a typing issue with relayout()

For this line of code:

Plotly.relayout(this.plotlyChartEl().plotlyInstance, {
    'xaxis.autorange': true,
    'yaxis.autorange': true,
});

I get the following error from typescript:

I checked the code here at:
https://github.com/plotly/plotly.js/blob/v4.1.1/src/types/core/api.d.ts#L212
export function relayout(root: Root, layout: Partial<Layout>)
Here the Partial<Layout> seems to cause the issue.

Notes

Versions:

  • plotly.js: 4.1.0
  • angular-plotly.js: 22.0.1
  • angular: 22.1.x
Alternatives

I tried:

Plotly.relayout(this.plotlyChartEl().plotlyInstance, {
    xaxis: {autorange: true},
    yaxis: {autorange: true},
});

but this will replace the existing xaxis properties like anchor, color, etc. will be removed -- i just want to update the autorange in this line of code
