Tricky downloading plottable.min.js

[src73]

I just tried upgrading to the latest version (3.1.1) and encountered two issues:

1. clicking the "download (latest)" button on plottablejs.org downloads the latest off of the Master branch, which hasn't been updated since 2015.
2. the commit tagged 3.1.1 doesn't include a plottable.min.js file (or even plottable.js). This breaks unpkg, and makes it very difficult for those without NPM or Yarn to use the latest version of the library, even if just download the repo.

Do let me know if I'm missing something..

Hey @src73 , thanks for the report. 1 is filed as #3342 , apologies for that - we'll try to get around to it in the upcoming weeks.

I'm able to find the standalone plottable.js in 3.1.1 at https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/plottable.js, but I'd recommend pulling in Plottable through individual js modules npm/yarn - you'll notice package.json's main points to build/src/index.js. It's also for that reason we've recently removed the standalone .min.js file - we expect consumers to use Plottable with a module bundler like webpack or rollup, which has full bundle minification features. Does that work with how you are consuming the library?

@src73 if you want to use the file directly from a CDN, you can use jsDelivr, which supports on-the-fly minification: https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/plottable.min.js

Closing - use jsDelivr (nice tip @MartinKolarik !) or a module bundler.
